Upon reaching the capture range of the FGCP altitude, the autopilot engaged mode changes from VNAV to
ALT.
To resume the descent after laterally sequencing the altitude-constrained waypoint (or when cleared by ATC),
lower the FGCP selected altitude to the next desired altitude and re-engage VNAV.
NOTE: A CHECK SELECTED ALT message is raised if VNAV is re-engaged and the FGCP selected
altitude is not set to the next desired altitude constraint, where the descent path will continue
once the waypoint is sequenced.
