LOC Navigation Mode automatically (i.e., without pressing the BC key) reverts to Backcourse Mode if the
localizer front course is greater than 105° from the aircraft heading. Refer to the previous discussion (in this
section) on Navigation Modes for more information on LOC Navigation Mode.

CHANGING THE SELECTED COURSE
The Selected Course is controlled using the CRS Knob. Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the
aircraft does not reset any reference data while in Backcourse Mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to
the Selected Course when the CWS Button is released.
level moDe (lvl)
Level (LVL) mode becomes active only as a function of Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP). Refer to the
Additional Features section for a detailed discussion of the optional ESP feature.
When the normal flight envelope thresholds have been exceeded for more than 50% of the last 20 seconds,
Level mode is activated. The autopilot will engage and provide input to bring the aircraft back into straight
and level flight based on zero degrees roll angle and zero feet per minute vertical speed. An aural “ENGAGING
AUTOPILOT” alert sounds and the lateral and vertical flight director annunciations will display “LVL”. The
AFCS will remain in Level mode until the pilot selects another mode.
