NOTE
If the VNV button is pressed more than 5 minutes before the TOD or the altitude preselect is
not reset to a lower altitude, VPTH will begin to flash inverse video, white/black, when the
aural alert ‘Vertical Track’ annunciation sounds.
Pressing the VNV button and/or resetting the altitude preselect to a lower altitude cancels the
flashing and the AFCS will capture and track the vertical profile.
If VNV button is not pressed, or the altitude preselect is not reset to a lower altitude, VPTH
stops flashing at the TOD and the airplane will remain in ALT mode and not descend.
ALTV will be the armed vertical mode during the descent if the altitude preselect is set to a
lower altitude than the VNAV reference altitude. This indicates the autopilot / flight director
will capture the VNAV altitude reference. ALTS will be the armed mode during the descent if
the altitude preselect is set at or above the VNAV reference altitude indicating that the
autopilot / flight director will capture the altitude preselect altitude reference.
