DEPARTURE
Climbing to the Selected Altitude and flying an assigned heading:
1) Upon takeoff, set the Selected Altitude to 7000 feet using the ALT Knob.
To have the autopilot capture this altitude, use Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode. In this
example, Vertical Speed Mode is used.
2) Upon reaching the desired vertical speed of 1000 fpm, enable the flight director in Vertical Speed Mode.
a) Press the VS Key. Altitude Hold Mode is armed automatically.
b) Press the AP Key to engage the autopilot in Roll Hold and Vertical Speed modes
3) Activate Heading Select Mode while the autopilot is engaged in the climb.
a) Use the HDG Knob to set the Selected Heading to 070°.
b) Press the HDG Key. The autopilot follows the Selected Heading Bug on the HSI and turns the aircraft to the
desired heading.
4) As the aircraft climbs to the Selected Altitude, the flight director changes from Vertical Speed to Altitude Hold
Mode. This active mode change is indicated by the green ‘ALT’ annunciation flashing for ten seconds.
Upon reaching the Selected Altitude, the autopilot completes the capture process and levels the aircraft. From
this point, the flight director continues to operate in Altitude Hold Mode.
