Table 7-1 lists the vertical modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference
is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change
modes. The
NOSE UP/DN Wheel can be used to change the vertical mode reference while operating under
Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode. Increments of change and acceptable ranges of values
for each of these references using the
NOSE UP/DN Wheel are also listed in the table.
