Capture Mode is automatically armed when Pitch Hold Mode is activated.
In Pitch Hold Mode, the flight director maintains a constant pitch attitude. The pitch
reference is set to the aircraft pitch attitude at the moment of mode selection. If the
aircraft pitch attitude exceeds the flight director pitch command limitations, the flight
director commands a pitch angle equal to the nose-up/down limit.
CHANGING THE PITCH REFERENCE:
When operating in Pitch Hold Mode, the pitch reference can be adjusted by
using the
NOSE UP/DN
Wheel (GMC 305 only) or
FMS
Joystick.
Or
Hold the Control Wheel Steering (CWS) Button (if equipped, and the
autopilot unit supports CWS), establish the desired pitch attitude, then
release the CWS Button.
