1/2 BANK button - Allows the pilot to override the FCS automatic

transitions to/from half bank mode. Half bank limits the
maximum command bank angle to 12.5°. Half bank is
indicated by a white

1/2 BNK

annunciation on the PFD.

Selection of half bank is inhibited when lateral go around
is active by onside localizer/azimuth capture/track, or by
onside FMS navigation capture/track.

NAV button - Selects/deselects the navigation mode. In NAV mode the

autopilot uses the active navigation source selected on
the display control panel (DCP).

APPR button - Selects/deselects approach mode.

B/C button - Selects/deselects back course mode. There is no

automatic selection of back course mode.

ALT button - Selects/deselects altitude hold mode.

VNAV button - Selects/deselects vertical navigation mode. In VNAV

mode, the autopilot follows pitch commands generated by
the FMS.
