At this screen the SEL ALT
numerals are underlined so that
rotation of the encoder selects
the target altitude. When this is
done press enter.
If a higher altitude has been
selected, the pre-set (best-cruise
climb) air speed is now
displayed and underlined.
This value can be modified
by rotating the encoder knob.
When air speed has been set,
press enter and the altitude
transition will begin. The
autopilot will then revert to the
normal flight display.
Also, SEL direction will
again be underlined. Both
selected altitude and air speed
can be modified while in
transition. Press and release the
encoder knob once and the
underlined cursor moves to
selected altitude. Pressing a
second time moves it to air
speed and a third time returns it
to direction, or after a short
period of time it will return
automatically to direction. If
the selected airspeed is
adjusted, the airspeed will then
change at a constant rate from
its initial value to the selected
value at which point it will
cease moving with no
overshoot.
Finally, because the
vertical speed rocker is always
active, the climb to a new
altitude can be changed from
airspeed to vertical speed and
the rate adjusted, by pressing
the appropriate direction on the
vertical speed rocker the
required number of times.
If a lower altitude is
selected, the set-up screen will
be as shown below in which a
default downward vertical
speed of 500 Fpm is shown
when the selected altitude
differs from the present by
more than 500 feet.
When the new altitude has
been selected and entered the
downward transition will begin
at 500 fpm. Pressing the
appropriate direction on the
vertical speed rocker will
modify this value.
