3.2.2. Departure
As we start the takeo roll, we note the airspeed on the PFD comes “alive” at 20 KIAS. All
indications are normal, so we continue the takeo, rotate at 90 KIAS and y the Flight
Director command bars at 10º pitch up with wings level. As we run out of usable runway to
land, we bring the gear up, and soon we’re over the end of the 13,800 ft. runway.
We engage HDG mode on the autopilot mode selector, and the FD commands a left turn to
our assigned 250° heading, which we have already set with the Heading Bug. Through 1,000
feet AGL, we power back and adjust the pitch attitude to maintain our target 120 KIAS climb
speed, as shown by the Bug on the airspeed tape, and set the FD pitch to that attitude.
Soon we hear a one-second tone and see the yellow ag appear next to our Selected
Altitude eld at the top of the PFD airspeed tape (Figure 3-25). This means we are 15
seconds away from reaching our assigned altitude. We begin to shallow our climb, and level
o at 7,000 feet, engaging ALT hold on the AP/FD mode selector. The yellow Altitude Alert
on the PFD goes out as we capture and hold our altitude.
While on the 250° vector, we pass abeam the ABQ VOR. The Single-Line Bearing Pointer
points abeam, toward the VOR, and then swings behind the aircraft. We also notice that
the GPS then sequences to the next ight plan waypoint, the ZUN VOR. The PFD Course
Pointer automatically swings left to the new course, 255°, and the leg on our Basemap turns
magenta.
Albuquerque Departure now tells us to y heading 220° to join the LARGO2 departure, and
climb and maintain 10,000. Departure also calls out slower trac at our 10 o’clock, seven
miles, west-bound at 8,000, and asks us to expedite our climb through 8,000.
1. Rotate the Right Knob to set the Heading Bug to 220°.
2. Press the Right Knob to activate ALT, and rotate to set 10,000 in the Selected
Altitude eld at the top of the Altitude Tape.
