To prevent immediate profile re-capture, the following
must be satisfied:
• At least 10 seconds have passed since the non-path
transition was initiated
• Vertical deviation from the profile has exceeded 250
feet, but is now less than 200 feet
Pressing the
VNV Key twice re-arms Vertical Path
Tracking for immediate profile re-capture.
VNV Target Altitude Capture Mode (ALTV)
NOTE: Armed VNV Target Altitude and Selected
Altitude capture modes are mutually exclusive.
However, Selected Altitude Capture Mode is
armed implicitly (not annunciated) whenever
VNV Target Altitude Capture Mode is armed.
VNV Target Altitude Capture is analogous to Selected
Altitude Capture Mode and is armed automatically after
the VNV Key is pressed and the next VNV Target Altitude
is to be intercepted before the Selected Altitude. The
annunciation ‘ALTV’ indicates that the VNV Target Altitude
is to be captured. VNV Target Altitudes are shown in the
active flight plan or vertical direct-to, and can be entered
manually or loaded from a database (see the Navigation
section for details). At the same time as “TOD within 1
minute” is annunciated in the Navigation Status Box, the
active VNV Target Altitude is displayed above the Vertical
Speed Indicator (see Figure 6-13) and the “Vertical Track”
aural annunciation is issued.
As the aircraft nears the VNV Target Altitude, the flight
director automatically transitions to VNV Target Altitude
Capture Mode with Altitude Hold Mode armed. This
automatic transition is indicated by the green ‘ALTV’
annunciation flashing for up to 10 seconds and the
appearance of the white ‘ALT” annunciation. The VNV
Target Altitude is shown as the Altitude Reference beside
the ‘ALTV’ annunciation and remains displayed above the
Vertical Speed Indicator. The Required Vertical Speed
Indication (RSVI) is removed once VNV Target Altitude
Capture Mode becomes active.
At 50 feet from the VNV Target Altitude, the flight
director automatically transitions from VNV Target
Altitude Capture to Altitude Hold Mode and tracks the
level leg. As Altitude Hold Mode becomes active, the
white ‘ALT’ annunciation moves to the active vertical
mode field and flashes green for 10 seconds to indicate
the automatic transition. The flight director automatically
arms Vertical Path Tracking, allowing upcoming descent
legs to be captured and subsequently tracked.

This Case, Equal To VNV

Changing the VNV Target Altitude
NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while in VNV
Target Altitude Capture Mode does not cancel
the mode.
Changing the current VNV Target Altitude while VNV
Target Altitude Capture Mode is active causes the flight
director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode. Vertical Path
Tracking and the appropriate altitude capture mode are
armed in preparation to capture the new VNV Target
Altitude or the Selected Altitude, depending on which
altitude is to be intercepted first.
VNV target altitudes can be changed while editing the
active flight plan (see the Navigation section for details).
