Soon we hear a one-second tone and see the yellow ag come on next to our Selected
Altitude at the top of the EFD1000 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 EFD1000 goes out as we capture and hold our altitude.
Around this time, on our 250º vector, we pass abeam ABQ VOR, which causes the GPS
to sequence to the next ight plan leg to ZUN VOR. The Course Pointer on the EFD1000
automatically swings left to the new course, 255º, and that leg on our base map turns
magenta.
Albuquerque Departure now tells us to y heading 220º to join the LARGO2 departure,
and climb and maintain 10,000.
1. Press the Right Knob once to activate HDG, and turn it left to set the Heading
Bug to 220º.
2. Press the Right Knob again to activate ALT, and turn it right to set 10,000 in
the Selected Altitude eld at the top of the airspeed tape.
Auto Course Select has already set our Course Pointer to the 255º course from ABQ to
ZUN on the LARGO2 departure, and a 220º heading sets us up for a nice intercept. We
disengage ALT hold on the Flight Director, set our cruise climb attitude, sync the V-bars
to that pitch, and initiate the climb from 7,000 to 10,000 feet, maintaining our target
airspeed of 120 KIAS by reference to the Airspeed Bug (Figure 3-26).
At about 9,700 feet, the Altitude Alerter tone sounds, and the yellow alert ag by the
Selected Altitude illuminates, telling us we are 15 seconds from reaching our assigned
10,000 feet. We begin our level-o, and upon reaching 10,000 feet, engage ALT hold on
the FD mode selector.
Departure calls again to hand us o to Albuquerque Center on 133.0. As we’re tuning
the radio, we hear an alert tone. A glance at the EFD1000 shows the Altitude Alerter
