AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

CHANGING THE AIRSPEED REFERENCE (FLC MODE)

The Airspeed Reference (shown above the Airspeed Indicator) may be adjusted by:

• Using the SPD SEL Knob

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

CWS Button

During climb, the Airspeed Reference units automatically change from IAS to Mach when either the altitude

or the airspeed listed in Table 7-3 are attained. For descent, the units switch back at the specified altitude
or airspeed. The system determines aircraft climb or descent by the relationship between the current and
Selected altitudes.

The Airspeed Reference Bug can be set at all times (to be used as a visual reference) except when CSC is

engaged. In CSC mode the Airspeed Reference Bug is fixed and set at the airspeed existing at the time of CSC
engagement. While the bug can be set during these modes it is only being controlled when in FLC mode,
when CSC is engaged, etc.
