ADJUSTING AUTOPILOT SETTINGS
To change the values of the autopilot settings, first turn the selector switch on the left side of the
Multi Panel to the function you want to adjust. Turn the rotary control to the right of the LED display
to increase or decrease the values for the function you have selected.
For example, if you want to adjust the altitude setting, first turn the selector switch on the left to ALT
and then increase or decrease the desired altitude setting using the rotary controls on the right.
To engage any of the autopilot functions, first select the function, e.g., HDG, NAV, etc., and then
press the autopilot master switch.
It is possible to use each of the autopilot functions individually but more common to use a
combination of functions. For example, if you wanted to fly at 20,000 feet at a speed of 150 knots on
a heading of 210 degrees, first select the ALT function with the selector knob on the left and adjust
altitude to 20,000 with the right rotary controls.
Next, turn the function selector knob to IAS and adjust speed to 150. Now turn the function selector
to HDG and adjust heading to 210. To engage the altitude, speed and heading functions, first switch
the autothrottle to "Arm" (this allows the autopilot to control the engines to maintain speed), then
