AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
TAKEOFF (TO) AND GO AROUND (GA) MODES
In Takeoff and Go Around modes, the flight director commands a constant set pitch attitude. The
GA Switch
is used to select both modes. The mode entered by the flight director depends on whether the aircraft is on the
ground. Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when the aircraft is at least 400 feet below the
Selected altitude at the time Takeoff or Go Around Mode is selected.
Takeoff Mode provides an attitude reference during rotation and takeoff. This mode can be selected only
while on the ground by pushing the GA Switch. The flight director Command Bars assume a wings-level,
pitch-up attitude. Autopilot engagement while Takeoff Mode is active is inhibited while the aircraft is on the
ground.
Pressing the GA Switch while in the air activates the flight director in a wings-level, pitch-up attitude, allowing
the execution of a missed approach or a go around. Selecting Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot;
however subsequent autopilot engagement is allowed. Attempts to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e., with the
NOSE UP/DN
Wheel or
CWS
Button) result in reversion to Pitch Hold Mode.
