Q

What color indicates an armed, lateral or vertical mode?

A

White

18
Q

What color indicates a captured lateral or vertical mode?

A

Green

19
Q

What does an amber TKNB message on the PFD indicate

A

The turn control knob is out of the center detent position, and auto pilot is disengaged

20
Q

How can the auto pilot be disconnected?

A

By pressing the auto pilot disconnect button, or by activating the pitch trim switch

21
Q

If the auto pilot is engaged, will pressing the pitch trim button, disengage the yaw damper

A

No, only the auto pilot

22
Q

What does the touch control steering (TCS) button do?

A

It allows maneuvering of the aircraft without disengaging in the auto pilot. If a new pitch attitude has been established, the auto pilot will maintain it when the TCS button is released. Lateral control will revert to the previously selected mode.

23
Q

What does pressing the center of the speed select knob do

A

It changes the airspeed indication at the top of the airspeed tape between indicated airspeed and Mach

24
Q

When an armed mode transitions to recapture mode, how is the transition shown?

A

By a box around the mode for five seconds

25
Q

What is shown on each side of the couple arrow at the top of the PFD when established on an ILS localizer and glideslope with the approach mode selected

A

LOC and GS

26
Q

Is a single engine go around with the auto pilot engaged authorized

A

No it is prohibited

27
Q

Q

What is the purpose of the VOR approach mode? (VAPP)

A
