NOTE: When operating near Vy airspeed and at climb power
settings, the use of Vertical Speed mode can easily
cause the aircraft to continually increase pitch,
resulting in a stall. Pitch Attitude Hold or IAS mode may
provide better operation at these airspeeds.
c. Indicated Airspeed (IAS) Mode
Pressing the IAS button causes the autopilot
to maintain a constant airspeed target. When
in Airspeed mode, each pressing of the UP/
DN soft buttons (5) on the autopilot panel
adjusts the IAS target in increments of 1 knot
per button press. IAS mode can be turned off
by pressing the IAS button once again or automatically when
the climb or descent leads to capture a target altitude.
When active, IAS mode is annunciated on the autopilot
touchscreen by a green active indicator box, green text, green
border, and selected indicated airspeed. When IAS mode is
inactive, but available, the
IAS
mode is annunciated on the
touchscreen by white text, white border, and current indicated
airspeed in white.
NOTE: The IAS value depicted when IAS Mode is inactive is a
situational awareness aid only and not to be used for
primary flight information.
d. Altitude Hold (ALT HOLD) Mode
In Altitude Hold mode (ALT HOLD), the autopilot maintains the
altitude sensed when the ALT HOLD button is pressed.
Pressing the ALT HOLD button again toggles
the Altitude Hold mode, reverting to Pitch
mode. The Altitude Hold mode can also be
turned on when Altitude Hold mode is Armed
and the target altitude is captured by the
autopilot.
