AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
FLYING A FLIGHT PLAN/GPS COURSE
NOTE: Changing the navigation source cancels Navigation Mode and causes the flight director to revert back to Roll Hold Mode (wings rolled level).
As the aircraft closes on Salina VOR, GPS is used to navigate the next leg, airway V244. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on Airway V4.
Flying a GPS flight plan:
1)Enter Salina VOR (SLN) into the GPS flight plan.
2)Transition from VOR to GPS Navigation Mode:
a)Press the CDI Softkey until GPS is the selected navigation source. Due toVOR signal loss,VOR Navigation Mode is cancelled. The ‘VOR’ annunciation flashes yellow.
Flashes 10 sec, Transitions to Roll Hold
Mode Unless NAV Key is Pressed
b)Press the NAV Key to activate GPS Navigation Mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft along the active flight plan leg.
If the NAV Key is not pressed within 10 seconds ofVOR signal loss, the flight director reverts to Roll Hold Mode (wings rolled level).
3)Following the flight plan, the autopilot continues to steer the aircraft under GPS guidance.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
DESCENT
While flying the arrival procedure, the aircraft is cleared for descent in preparation for the approach to KCOS. Three methods are presented for the descent from 12,000 ft:
•Flight Level Change descent – Flight Level Change Mode can be used to descend to the Selected Altitude at a constant airspeed. This descent method does not account for flight plan waypoint altitude constraints.
•Vertical Path Tracking descent – Vertical Path Tracking Mode is used to follow the vertical descent path defined in the GPS flight plan. Altitude constraints correspond to waypoints in the flight plan. Before VNV flight control can provide vertical profile guidance, a VNV flight plan must be entered and enabled.
•Non-path descent in a VNV scenario – While the flight director is following VNV guidance for descent, Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode can be used to descend to the VNV Target Altitude prior to reaching the planned TOD. Flight Level Change Mode is used in the example.
Flight Level Change descent:
1)Select Flight Level Change Mode:
a)Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude to 10,000 feet.
b)Press the FLC Key to activate Flight Level Change Mode. The annunciation ‘FLC’ appears next to the Airspeed Reference, which defaults to the current aircraft airspeed. Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed automatically.
2)Reduce power to allow descent in Flight Level Change Mode. The autopilot maintains the current airspeed.
3)As the aircraft nears the Selected Altitude, the flight director transitions to Selected Altitude Capture Mode, indicated by the green ‘ALTS’ annunciation flashing for up to 10 seconds.
The green ‘ALT’ annunciation flashes for up to 10 seconds upon reaching 50 feet from the SelectedAltitude; the autopilot transitions to Altitude Hold Mode and levels the aircraft.

Vertical Path Tracking descent to VNV Target Altitude:
1)Select VNV flight control:
a)Press the VNV Key to arm Vertical Path Tracking Mode. The white annunciation ‘VPTH’ appears.
b)Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude at least 75 feet below the VNV Target Altitude of 10,000 feet.
c)If Vertical Path Tracking Mode is armed more than 5 minutes prior to descent path capture, acknowledgment is required for the flight director to transition from Altitude Hold to Vertical Path Tracking Mode. To proceed with descent path capture if the white ‘VPTH’ annunciation begins flashing, do one of the following
• Press the VNV Key |
• Turn the ALT Knob to adjust the Selected Altitude |
If the descent is not confirmed by the time of interception,Vertical Path Tracking Mode remains armed and the descent is not captured.
2)When the top of descent (TOD) is reached, the flight director transitions to Vertical Path Tracking Mode and begins the descent to the VNV Target Altitude. Intention to capture the VNV Target Altitude is indicated by the white ‘ALTV’ annunciation.
3)As the aircraft nears theVNVTargetAltitude,the flight director transitions toVNVTargetAltitude Capture Mode, indicated by the green ‘ALTV’ annunciation flashing for up to 10 seconds.
The green ‘ALT’ annunciation flashes for up to 10 seconds upon reaching 50 feet from the VNV Target Altitude; the autopilot transitions to Altitude Hold Mode and levels the aircraft at the vertical waypoint.

Non-path descent using Flight Level Change Mode:
1)Command a non-path descent using Flight Level Change Mode:
a)Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude below the current aircraft altitude to 9,400 feet.
b)Press the FLC Key before the plannedTOD during a vertical profile level leg (tracked usingAltitude Hold Mode). The Airspeed Reference defaults to the current aircraft airspeed. Vertical Path Tracking and Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed automatically.
2)Reduce power to allow descent in Flight Level Change Mode. The autopilot maintains the Airspeed Reference.
3)As the aircraft nears the Selected Altitude, the flight director transitions to Selected Altitude Capture Mode, indicated by the green ‘ALTS’ annunciation flashing for up to 10 seconds.
The green ‘ALT’ annunciation flashes for up to 10 seconds upon reaching 50 feet from the SelectedAltitude; the autopilot transitions to Altitude Hold Mode and levels the aircraft.
4)When the next TOD is reached, Vertical Path Tracking becomes active (may require acknowledgment to allow descent path capture).
5)As the aircraft nears theVNVTargetAltitude,the flight director transitions toVNVTargetAltitude Capture Mode, indicated by the green ‘ALTV’ annunciation flashing for up to 10 seconds.
The green ‘ALT’ annunciation flashes for up to 10 seconds upon reaching 50 feet from the VNV Target Altitude; the autopilot transitions to Altitude Hold Mode and levels the aircraft at the vertical waypoint.
