USING THE VNAV FEATURE

Use the VNAV (Vertical Navigation) feature to ensure the aircraft is at the proper altitude. The VNAV Indicator appears on the HSI (when displayed) as a horizontal teal bar. A message appears when approaching the VNAV Profile. When the bar is in the vertical center of the HSI, the aircraft is at the proper altitude for the VNAV Profile.

Configuring a VNAV profile:

1)While navigating a flight plan or direct-to, press the FPL Key.

2)Turn the FMS Joystick to select the Vertical Navigation Page.

3)Press the FMS Joystick to activate the cursor.

4)Enter the desired profile into the fields, and press the EXIT Softkey.
