Auto Course Select has already set our Course Pointer to the 255º course from ABQ
to ZUN and a 220º heading sets us up for a nice intercept. We pitch a little higher to
climb at 115 KIAS through 8,000 for traffic, then lower the nose to maintain our target
airspeed of 120 KIAS by reference to the Airspeed Bug.
At about 9,700 feet, we begin our level-off, and upon reaching 10,000 feet, engage ALT
hold on the autopilot’s mode selector.
Departure calls again to hand us off to Albuquerque Center on 133.0. As we’re tuning
the radio, we glance at the selected altitude field, our altitude indicates 10,200 and
climbing. We quickly stop the climb, correct back down to our assigned altitude
of 10,000, and engage the autopilot before calling to check in with Center.
