Pitch AXIS Hold and Capture
Overview
Both holding and capturing altitude are related but distinct parts of the autopilot. The Altitude Hold
Procedure which follows will address common problems, and once those are resolved, direct you to the
Altitude Capture Procedure, which will tune your system to capture and hold vertical speed and capture
altitude targets without overshoot.
