Other Controls
12. Roll rate command knob when
turned from its center detent position
cancels existing lateral mode and
engages roll attitude hold. The farther
from center the knob is held, the
faster the autopilot increases the
aircraft's bank angle. When released,
the roll attitude stabilizes and the
autopilot holds roll attitude.
13. Vertical Trim allows modification
of certain vertical modes (e.g. altitude,
pitch attitude, MACH, IAS, VS). It
will
cancel vertical modes which utilize a
vertical track or stored vertical profile
(e.g. Glideslope, VNAV, Climb,
GoAround) and revert to pitch attitude
hold.
Action is either by discrete pushes
to modify a reference by a set amount
or continuous by holding the control in
one position and slewing the refer-
ence.
7.
AP (autopilot)
-
Alternately

lot. Also engages Yaw Damper when
