Normal Vertical Autopilot Modes
6.4.1. Vertical Speed Mode
The vertical speed mode or SVS mode is the default vertical
mode that is activated when the autopilot is engaged (as long as an
altitude pre-‐select has not been entered).
When the autopilot is engaged it will synchronize to the vertical
speed
being
flown
at
that
time.
The
SVS
mode
allows
the
user
to
select
a
desired
vertical
speed
for
the
autopilot
to
fly.
The
selected
vertical
speed
can
be
adjusted
by
pressing
the
KNOB
to
move
the
cursor
under
the
number
next
to
SVS,
and
then
rotating
the
KNOB.
Once the SVS is selected the autopilot will continue climbing or
descending
at
the
selected
vertical
speed
until
the
user
stops
the
climb
or
descent.

to
SVS.
