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 80 KIAS. 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 turn to our assigned 250º
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 Airspeed Bug on the airspeed tape.
Soon we the yellow ag appear next to our Selected Altitude eld at the top of the PFD
airspeed tape (Figure 3-27). 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 mode selector. The yellow Altitude Alert on the PFD goes out as we
capture and hold our altitude.
While on the 250º vector, we pass abeam the ABQ VOR. 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, 255º, and the leg on our Basemap turns
magenta.
Albuquerque Departure now tells us to y heading 220º, 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 and turn it left to set the Heading Bug to 220º.
2. Press the Right Knob twice to activate ALT, and turn it right to set 10,000 in the
Selected Altitude eld at the top of the Altitude Tape.
