6.4.2. Altitude  Hold  Mode  

The  altitude  hold  mode  or  ALT  HOLD  holds  the  selected  altitude.    

The   autopilot   can   hold   at   any   100-­‐foot   increment.     When   directly  
entering   the   ALT   HOLD   mode,   the   autopilot   will   go   to   the   nearest  

100-­‐foot  increment.    It  is  recommended  that  the  altimeter  be  synced  
prior  to  using  altitude  hold.  

This   mode   is   accessed   from   SVS,   SEL,   or   GS   ARM   mode   by  

pressing  the  ALT  button  and  then  pressing  the  KNOB.    The  transition  
from  SVS  to  ALT  HOLD  mode  is  shown  in  figure  6.4.2a.    

NOTE:     pressing   ALT   when   in   GS   CPLD   mode   will   initiate   the  

Missed  Approach!  (see  section  6.4.7  for  Missed  Approach  mode)  

NOTE:     Pressing   ALT   while   in   GPSV   mode   will   not   change   any  

vertical  modes!    (see  section  6.4.5  for  GPSV  mode)
