4. ALT Review or insert new value.
NOTE
If (AUTO) FPA is displayed, the system has
automatically programmed a waypoint to
waypoint FPA for the procedure.
5. ENTER key Press until display
returns to Active Flight Plan page.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to
review
or
change
altitude
constraints
at
remaining
waypoints.

Waypoints Using VNAV Flight Plan Page.
1. VNAV key Press to display the
VNAV page.
2. Line select key Press to position
the
cursor
over
the
desired
waypoint.
3. ENTER key Press. The VNAV
Waypoint page appears with the
cursor over the ALT field.
4. ALT Review or insert new value.
NOTE
If the FPA was retrieved from the database,
(DB) will appear in the FPA type field.
5. ENTER key Press to return to
the VNAV page.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to
review
or
change
altitude
constraints
at
remaining
waypoints.
(c) Reviewing
VNAV
Database
Waypoints Using Direct To Or Navigation Pages.
NOTE
A vertical direct can only be programmed
for a descent.
1. D or NAV key Press to display
applicable page.
2. Line select key Press to position
the
cursor
over
the
desired
waypoint on the Direct To page or
the TO waypoint on Navigation
pages.
3. VNAV key Press. The VNAV
Waypoint
page
appears
with
cursor over the FPA field, if an
altitude
constraint
has
been
programmed
and
the
current
barometric altitude is above the
programmed altitude constraint.
NOTE
When accessing the VNAV Waypoint page
from the Direct To page or the Navigation
pages, the FPA pre-fills with (DIR) and the
direct FPA value from the aircraft's present
position to the VNAV waypoint, provided
the direct FPA is within the valid range.
The VNAV direct waypoint need not be the
same as the lateral to waypoint.
4. ENTER
key
Press.
The
waypoint will become the current
vertical
TO
waypoint
and
all
constraints prior to the waypoint
will be erased. The VNAV page 1
will
appear
displaying
vertical
deviation.
u. Vertical Navigation En Route.
(1) Programming Path Descents. The pilot
can use various methods to set a flight path angle that
determines the aircraft's path descent.
NOTE
When the system detects a rapid change of
barometric
altitude
setting
or
non-
continuous data from an air data computer,
the vertical deviation output is momentarily
interrupted.
When
vertical
deviation
returns to a valid state, the appropriate
value of vertical deviation will again be
displayed.
(a) Programming Path Descents Using
Database FPA.
The
database
contains
FPA
associated with waypoints (for example approaches to
runway thresholds) that pre-fill when programmed into
the active flight plan. The FPA field on the VNAV
Waypoint page displays (DB) and vertical deviation is
