Using the VNAV Feature
Use the VNAV (Vertical Navigation) feature to ensure that you are
flying at the proper altitude. The VNAV Indicator appears on the
HSI (Panel Page) as a horizontal bar, as shown in the image on
the next page. A message appears when you are approaching the
VNAV Profile. When the bar is in the vertical center of the HSI, you
are at the proper altitude for the VNAV Profile. Make sure VNAV
Indicator is On in the options menu. From the Panel Page, press
MENU to open the options menu. Select Capture VNAV Profile,
and press ENTER to center or re-center the VNAV indicator on
the graphic HSI. You must have entered a valid vertical navigation
profile and be navigating.
