Q

What color indicates an armed lateral or vertical heading?

A

White

A

It allows maneuvering of the aircraft without disengaging the pilot. If a new pitch attitude has been established, the autopilot 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 know do?

A

It toggles the airspeed indication at the top of the airspeed tape between IAS and MACH

24
Q

A

By a box around the mode for 5 sec

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 glide slope with the approach mode selected?

A

LOC and GS

26
Q

Is a single engine go-around with the autopilot engaged authorized?

A

No. It is prohibited
