Rev  -­‐  Initial  

The   vertical   speed   and   altitude   can   be   adjusted   at   any   time  

during   a   transition   to   a   selected   altitude.     This   requires   simply  
moving  the  cursor,  which  normally  resides  beneath  the  SEL  track,  to  
the  value  to  be  edited.    To  move  the  cursor  Press  the  KNOB  and  the  

cursor  will  move  to  SVS,  Press  the  KNOB  again  to  move  the  cursor  to  
SEL   altitude.     Figure   6.4.3b   shows   moving   the   cursor   around   the  
display.  

If  the  SEL  altitude  is  moved  to  the  current  altitude  the  autopilot  

will  enter  ALT  HOLD.    

The  SVS  can  be  adjusted  to  ANY  value  during  a  transition,  even  

the   opposite   direction.     This   may   be   useful   when   flying   instrument  
approaches,   as   the   desired   altitude   can   be   entered   and   the   vertical  
speed   set   to   zero   until   time   to   begin   the   transition   to   the   selected  
altitude.     Note   that   zero   vertical   speed   will   NOT   keep   the   aircraft  
locked   at   a   specific   altitude,   but   will   certainly   hold   fairly   close   for  
several  minutes.
