In Vertical Speed Mode, the flight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference (shown above

the Vertical Speed Indicator). Current aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical
Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical Speed Mode activation. This mode may be used for climb or descent
to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter) since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically
armed when Vertical Speed Mode is selected.

When Vertical Speed Mode is activated by pressing the VS Key, ‘VS’ is annunciated in green in the AFCS Status

Box. The Vertical Speed Reference is displayed above the Vertical Speed Indicator. A Vertical Speed Reference
Bug corresponding to the Vertical Speed Reference is shown on the indicator.

The Vertical Speed Reference (shown above the Vertical Speed Indicator) may be changed by:

• Using the UP/DN Wheel

• Pressing the CWS Button, hand-flying the aircraft to attain a new Vertical Speed Reference, then releasing 

the CWS Button
