PITCH HOLD MODE (PIT)
When the Integrated Autopilot is activated, Pitch Hold Mode is selected
by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active vertical mode by
the green annunciation ‘PIT’. This mode may be used for climb or descent
to the Selected Altitude (shown above the altimeter), since Selected
Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Pitch Hold Mode is
activated.
In Pitch Hold Mode, a constant pitch attitude (the pitch reference) is
maintained. The pitch reference is set to the aircraft pitch attitude at
the moment of mode selection. If the aircraft pitch attitude exceeds the
configured pitch command limitations, a pitch angle equal to the nose-up/
down limit is maintained.
Changing the pitch reference while in Pitch Hold (PIT) Mode:
Move and hold the FMS Joystick (use the PFD FMS Joystick for dual
display) up or down. This causes the nose of the aircraft to slowly
pitch in the direction that the FMS Joystick is held. The current pitch
attitude is held when the joystick is released.
Or :
Hold the Control Wheel Steering (CWS) Button, establish the desired
pitch attitude, then release the CWS Button.
