What happens when we rotate the altitude select knob? |
Preselects altitude in altitude window. If PROF's engaged, sets FMS limits for climb or descent. |
AUTO 001 |
|
|
What happens when we pull the altitude select knob? |
Airplane will climb or descend directly to selected altitude (ATS will go to climb thrust or idle descent as required). It's basically Level Change. |
AUTO 001 |
|
|
What happens when we push the altitude select knob? |
Airplane will hold current altitude |
AUTO 001 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What does the V/S - FPA changeover button do? |
Pushing it selects either vertical speed in fpm or FPA in tenths of degrees. |
AUTO 002 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What does PROF switch do? |
-Engages FMS vertical guidance -in flight, can also be used to engage AT system |
AUTO 003 |
|
|
1. The plane is in PROF if the FMA altitude mode (word) is what color on the PFD? 2. When is the altitude number white or magenta on the PFD? |
1. The plane's in PROF if the word is magenta. 2. White = an alt that isn't preprogrammed in the FMS. Magenta = a known FMS altitude. |
AUTO 003 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What does pushing the HDG/TRK changeover button do? |
Selects either heading or track in the display window and on the ND. |
AUTO 004 |
|
|
What does pushing the NAV switch do? |
Arms the FMS NAV capture mode or resumes FMS lateral control |
AUTO 005 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
How can FMS speed be edited? |
By pre-selecting an FCP speed and immediately pushing the FMS SPD switch. Pushing it again will cancel this edit return FMS speed to ECON on the speed tape. |
AUTO 006 Vol 2, 4-10 FCTM, 4.5 |
|
|
Can edited FMS speeds be cleared? |
No- only modified |
AUTO 006 Vol 2, 4-10 FCTM, 4.5 |
|
|
How is FMS speed disengaged? |
-Pushing or pulling the IAS/MACH select knob OR -Engaging GA |
AUTO 006 Vol2, 4-10 FCTM, 4.5 |

|
|
What does the IAS/MACH changeover button do? |
Pushing it selects either IAS or MACH in the display window. |

|
|
What happens when we PULL the IAS/MACH knob? |
Airplane will hold speed selected in the window |
AUTO 008 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What happens when we PUSH the IAS/MACH knob? |
Airplane will maintain current speed and window displays that speed |
AUTO 008 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What does the APPR/LAND mode do? |
Arms the APPR & LAND modes (a tuned ILS is required). |
AUTO 009 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|

Engages ATS and 1 AP. After AP engagement, each push alternates between AP 1 and AP 2 |
AUTO 010 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What happens when we push the AFS OVRD switches? |
Allows emergency disconnect of respective AP, AT and Yaw damper |
AUTO 011 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
1. When is Mach trim provided? 2. What happens when it become INOP? |
1. Only when AP is NOT engaged. 2. It automatically stops driving the stab & an alert'll be displayed. |
AUTO 012 Vol 2, 4-10 |
|
|
What does Mach trim do? |
Stabilizer automatically moves to compensate for pitch forces caused by Mach number |

|
|
What happens when we PULL the HDG/TRK Selector knob? |
Aircraft captures and follows selected heading or track in the display window |

|
|
What happens when we hit the GA switches? |
-FDs popup to GA (even if off) -AP (if on) follows FD commands -ATS goes to GA thrust limits -parallel rudder active -bank limited to 10 -ref spd, PITCH and GA on FMA -windshear guidance comes on if warning is active |
AUTO 016 FAA WPBR (FAA with Pabst Blue Ribbon) |
