The mode reference is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold,
Vertical Speed, and Indicated Airspeed modes. The NOSE UP/DN Wheel (GMC control
unit) or the on-screen VS MODE can be used to change the vertical mode reference
while operating under Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, Indicated Airspeed, or Altitude Hold
modes. Increments of change of values for each of these references using the NOSE
