Mode Control Panel

  • CWS engaged displays:



  • When approaching a selected altitude in CWS P, the pitch mode
    engages in ALT ACQ and ALT HOLD when reaching selected
    altitude.
  • When approaching a selected radio course in CWS R with
    VOR/LOC or approach mode armed, VOR/LOC engages when
    course is intercepted.
  • If pitch is manually overridden while in ALT HOLD and control force
    is released within 250 feet of selected altitude, A/P pitch mode
    engages in ALT ACQ and returns to selected altitude in ALT HOLD
    mode.



Note: During F/D only operation while pitch or roll commands are more
than 1/2 scale from center, pushing a CMD A or B switch engages the A/P
in CWS for pitch and/or roll and the related F/D bar(s) retract.
