1)  From the Map Page after manually setting a course, press the MENU Key to 

display the Map Page Menu 

2)  Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘Release Hold’, and press the 

ENT Key.

The Vertical Navigation Page provides settings for the vertical navigation feature. 

These settings create a three-dimensional profile from the present location and altitude 
to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. 

When the VNAV profile is defined, the pilot is informed of the progress by message 

alerts.  The teal bar on the HSI (when displayed) shows the VNAV profile. 

The Vertical Navigation feature is only available when navigating a Direct To or flight 

plan, and the ground speed is greater than 35 knots.

The “Approaching VNAV Profile” message appears one minute prior to the initial 

descent point.  The descent angle locks to prevent changes in speed from altering the 
profile.  The VNAV feature does not take into account any changes in groundspeed that 
occur during the transition from level flight to descent or climb. 

At 500 ft above the target altitude, the “Approaching Target Altitude” message 

appears, the ‘Estimated Time To VNAV’ goes blank, and the VNAV indicator disappears 
from the HSI.
