6.5.3. Control  Wheel  Steering  Mode  

This  mode  allows  the  autopilot  to  be  temporarily  disengaged  to  

make   a   quick   course   change   and/or   vertical   speed   change.     This  
mode  is  accessed  by  a  press  and  hold  of  the  control  wheel  steering  
switch  (if  equipped).    While  the  switch  is  held,  the  display  will  show  
the   autopilot   is   in   CWS   Mode.     Figure   6.5.3a   shows   the   CWS   mode  
screen.

When   the   button   is   released,   the   autopilot   will   hold   the   new  

track   and   the   new   vertical   speed,   if   greater   than   400   fpm   in   either  
direction.    If  the  vertical  speed  at  time  of  release  is  less  than  400  fpm,  
then  the  autopilot  will  hold  zero  vertical  speed.    Figure  6.5.3b  shows  

the  screen  after  release  at  a  vertical  speed  of  800  fpm  up.
