5.6.3Altitude Capture (Optional Interface)

The altitude selector function is a separately purchased option which works with the autopilot. At the set altitude, the autopilot will go from a Vertical Speed Mode (a climb or descent) to an Altitude Capture mode where it will hold the selected altitude.

1)Select the desired altitude on the GDU 620 by pressing the ALT key and rotating the PFD knob so the Altitude bug is at the desired altitude.

2)Engage the autopilot in altitude capture mode and select the desired vertical speed (if able) on the autopilot controller.

3)The autopilot will command a climb or descent at the selected vertical speed (on the autopilot controller) and capture the selected altitude.

Appendix B

NOTE: The selected Vertical Speed bug on the GDU 620 will not control the autopilot vertical speed. The autopilot vertical speed must be selected directly on the autopilot controller.
