USING THE VNAV FEATURE
Use the VNAV (Vertical Navigation) feature to ensure the aircraft is at the proper
altitude. When the appropriate conditions for VNAV are met, the VNAV Indicator
displays as a teal pointer next to the altimeter. When the VNAV alert messages are
enabled, a message appears when approaching the VNAV Profile. When the teal
pointer is in the vertical center of the altimeter, the aircraft is at the proper altitude for
the VNAV Profile.
