USING THE VNAV FEATURE
Use the VNAV (Vertical Navigation) feature to ensure the aircraft is at the proper
altitude. The VNAV Indicator appears on the HSI (when displayed) as a horizontal teal
bar. A message appears when approaching the VNAV Profile. When the bar is in the
vertical center of the HSI, the aircraft is at the proper altitude for the VNAV Profile.
Configuring a VNAV profile:
1)
From the Main Menu, touch Tools > VNAV
2)
Touch the desired fields ('Profile', 'Altitude', etc) to enter the VNAV
profile.
3)
Touch and hold the Back Icon to return to the ‘Home’ Screen.
