Flight Control Panel (FCP)
The FCP is on the Glareshield Control Panel (GCP). The FCP provides the
controls for basic AP/FD mode selection and for crew intervention in FMS SPD,
PROF and NAV modes. FCP selector knobs allow select and preselect of
reference speeds, altitudes, and headings. These values will appear on the FCP
windows and on the PFD.
FCP IAS/MACH, HDG/TRK, and altitude select knobs operate as follows:
• Turn to preselect a value.
• Pull to select a value.
• Push to hold a value.
As an exception, the altitude select knob sets the clearance altitude when FMS
PROF mode is coupled.
FCP changeover buttons are used to select the unit of measurement or function
shown in the window above each select knob.
