4-3 SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND INFORMATION
ALTITUDE HOLD OPERATION
For best results, reduce rate of climb or descent to 1000 FPM
before engaging altitude hold mode.
INSTRUMENT APPROACH OPERATIONS
Initial
and/or intermediate approach segments should be
conducted between 75 - 100 KIAS with up to 10° flap selected
if desired. Upon intercepting the glide path or when passing the
final approach fix (FAF) reduce the power for approximately 65-
70 KIAS on the final approach segment.
Adjust power as
necessary during remainder of approach to maintain correct
airspeed.
Monitor course guidance information (raw data)
throughout the approach.
All power changes should be of
small
magnitude and smoothly applied for best tracking
performance. For optimum performance do not change aircraft
configuration during final approach while autopilot is engaged.
For approaches without glide path coupling, adjust pitch
attitude in conjunction with power to maintain desired airspeed
and descent rate.
Proper rudder trim must be maintained
throughout the approach to insure maximum tracking quality.
