d. No SXTK (selected crosstrack)
may be programmed.
e. Cross track must be less than
12.5 nautical miles.
2 INACTIVE. INACTIVE displayed in
the VNAV mode line indicates that the VNAV function
is not activated.
NOTE
A crosstrack (XTK) of more than 125
nautical miles will cause VNAV mode to be
inactive.
When VNAV mode is inactive all external
VNAV outputs are disabled, including
VERT DEV, EFIS altitude constraints at
waypoints,
and
VNAV
WPT
ALERT
annunciation.
3 CLIMB. When CLIMB is displayed
on this line, the altitude that must be gained to reach
cruise altitude or to the next altitude restriction is
shown in the right field.
4 CRUISE.
When
CRUISE
is
displayed on this line, the altitude that must be
maintained while en route to the top of descent
(#TOD) point will be shown in the right field.
5 PATH
DESCENT.
PATH
DESCENT displayed on this line indicates a descent
via a programmed flight path angle. Vertical deviation
(VERT DEV) will be enabled on the glideslope needle
on EHSI.
6 DESCENT. DESCENT displayed
on this line indicates non-path or air mass descent to
altitude restriction.
7 LEVEL. LEVEL displayed on this
line indicates that the aircraft should fly level to the
next altitude constraint.
(b) TO Waypoint Line (Second Line).
This line displays the vertical TO waypoint with the
constraint altitude and applicable waypoint offset,
where FL = flight level, A = at or above, B = at or
below, G = glide path, and a blank space = at
constraint altitude.
1 #TOC. #TOC displayed on this
line will have the top of climb target cruise altitude
displayed in the right field, the top of climb will become
the vertical to waypoint once the aircraft has passed
the final climb restriction waypoint and is still climbing.
2 #TOD. #TOD displayed on this
line will have the top of descent target cruise altitude
displayed in the right field. The top of descent altitude
is the point at which the aircraft should begin to
descend in order to reach the descent reference
waypoint at the required altitude.
NOTE
If no descent reference waypoint with
crossing
altitude
is
programmed,
the
system will use the arrival airport and
elevation to fix the TOD as long as an
airport is the last waypoint on the active
flight plan.
(c) EST CROSSING. The estimated
crossing altitude (EST CROSSING) is the altitude at
which the aircraft is estimated to be when it crosses
the to waypoint based on its current groundspeed and
vertical speed. This field will display RANGE (NM) in
miles and tenths of a mile when the vertical to
waypoint is a #TOD or #TOC profile point.
(d) ETE. The estimated time en route
(ETE) from the aircraft's present position to the vertical
to waypoint, #TOC, or #TOD is displayed in this field in
hours, minutes, and tenths of a minute.
(e) REQUIRED FPM. REQUIRED FPM
(required feet per minute) is the vertical speed,
required to satisfy the altitude constraint UP indicates
a positive vertical speed and DN indicates a negative
vertical speed. This field will display @#TOD FPM DN
when the vertical to waypoint is the top of descent and
indicate the descent target vertical speed.
(f) ACTUAL FPM. This line displays the
actual vertical speed in feet per minute. UP indicates
a positive vertical speed and DN indicates a negative
vertical speed.
