To activate the VNAV function...
· Review the calculated vertical speed. If you wish to change the vertical
speed: place the cursor on the vertical speed (At) field, enter the
desired vertical speed and press ENT.
· Place the cursor over the “VN” field.
· Press CLR to turn the VNAV function on. The VNAV status on the
bottom line will change from “Enter VNAV Profile” to “Begin at _____”
(with the blank indicating how long before the maneuver should begin),
or “Navigating” if the VNAV maneuver is already in progress. You will
be informed with the message “Start Altitude Change” when you are
less than 15 seconds from the point at which the VNAV maneuver is
to begin.
When VNAV is active, this page will recommend the altitude and vertical
speed required to complete the maneuver. Remember that these are only
recommendations. You will be informed with the message “Final Altitude
Alert” when the recommended altitude is within 1000 feet of the final altitude.
The VNAV function will be cancelled automatically if the active route (or
GOTO) is changed in any way (e.g., setting a new GOTO destination or
adding a waypoint to a route). You will be informed with the message “VNAV
Cancelled” if this occurs. If the aircraft ground speed does not exceed 35
knots, or a route waypoint that has already been passed is selected, the GPS
95 will display an “Invalid profile” status on the bottom line. The GPS 95 will
display “No Active Waypoint” on the bottom line if no route, or GOTO
destination, has been activated.
WARNING: Altitude and climb rate should be controlled only by the pilot in
command with due regard for airspeed and other aircraft performance
limitations.
