Our normal climb speed is 120 KIAS, so we set the Airspeed Bug as a reminder. To do so,
we press the Left Knob twice, until it shows IAS in magenta above the knob. Then turn
the knob until 120 shows in the Selected Airspeed Field.
Set the Airspeed Bug
1. Press the Right Knob until ALT displays above the Right Knob and the
Selected Altitude Field and Bug are enabled for editing, all three rendered in
magenta (Figures 3-21 and 3-22).
2. Rotate the Left Knob clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease
the value of the Selected Airspeed Field.
3. Once the correct value is selected, and after 10 seconds of inaction, the eld
is disabled, and the label, Selected Airspeed Field, and Bug are rendered in
cyan (Figure 3-23).
We plan to hand-y the plane until reaching our nal enroute altitude of 10,000 feet,
but would like to use the Flight Director (FD) (Figure 3-24). So, as part of our Before
Takeo set-up, we press the FD Button on the autopilot mode selector, and the
magenta V-bars display on the PFD. As an easy way to give us guidance on the takeo,
we press the Go Around Button. This commands wings level and about a 10° pitch-up
attitude, which works well for our initial climb.
Now our avionics are all set, so we taxi out to the runway, do our run-up, and call tower,
ready for departure. As we taxi into position and hold on Runway 8, we verify that our
PFD compass shows 080°, lined-up with our pre-set Heading Bug. As tower clears us for
takeo, it tells us to wait until reaching the end of the runway, and then to turn left to
heading 250°. Rotate the Right Knob to set the Heading Bug to 250°.
