CRUISE
Be sure that all required equipment are in proper operating condition.
Ensure that the airplane is flown at the cleared flight level and that ATC
clearances are fully understood and followed. Do not depart from
cleared flight level without a positive clearance from ATC except for a
contingency or emergency situation.
While changing flight levels, do not overshoot or undershoot the
cleared flight level by more than 150 ft (45 m).
The autopilot should be operative and engaged during level cruise,
except for circumstances such as the need to re-trim the airplane or
when it must be disengaged due to turbulence.
When altitude difference between PFD 1 and PFD 2 exceeds 180 ft,
select ADS 3 on the PFD that does not agree with IESS.
