Index
The G500/600 system limits the distance the flight director pitch commands
may deviate from the aircraft attitude icon. In the event that the pitch command
provided by the autopilot flight director is greater than the distance allowed by
the G500/600, the command bars will be displayed at the maximum distance
allowed by the G500/600. As the aircraft pitch changes to satisfy the command
bars, the bars will continue to be displayed at the maximum distance from the
aircraft attitude icon until the aircraft pitch deviation is within the command
display limit.

5.4.6 Vertical Speed Control
The GDU 620 vertical speed bug may be used to control vertical speed with
certain autopilots. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual and autopilot system
documentation for instructions on how to use the vertical speed mode, if
available.
Adjust the vertical speed bug in the normal manner when using the
vertical speed mode interface. Some autopilot installations support engaging/
disengaging the vertical speed mode using the VS key on the PFD. The PFD
knob window will indicate when this function is available. The vertical speed
mode may be alternately engaged or disengaged by pressing and holding the VS
key on the PFD bezel.
