VERTICAL NAVIGATION (VNAV) PAGE
The Vertical Navigation Page allows the creation of a three-dimensional profile which guides the aircraft from it’s present position and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. This is helpful when you would like to descend to a certain altitude near an airport or climb to an altitude before reaching a route or Direct-to waypoint. Once the profile is defined, message alerts and additional data on the Navigation Map Page keep the pilot informed of progress.
NOTE: An active flight plan or Direct-to must be entered in order to utilize VNAV.
NOTE:TodisplayterrainortopodataontheVertical Navigation Map Page,press the MAPsoftkey. Press the TOPO,TERRAIN,orLTNGsoftkey. Press the same softkey to remove the displayed data from the Vertical Navigation Page.
To create a vertical navigation profile:
1.Select the Vertical Navigation Page.
2.Press the FMS knob to activate the cursor.

3.With the‘TARGETALTITUDE’ field highlighted, turn the small and large FMS knobs to select the target altitude and press the ENT key.
4.Turn the small FMS knob to select ‘Above Wpt’ (AGL) or ‘MSL’, and press the ENT key. ‘Above Wpt’ uses the altitude of a destination airport. ‘MSL’ lets you set a specific target altitude for any waypoint category: airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint.
With the profile set, the vertical speed required (VSR) is displayed. Expect the following to occur when using the vertical navigation feature:
At one minute prior to reaching the initial descent point, the message ‘APPR VPROF - Approaching VNAV Profile’ is displayed as a PFD alert. The descent (or climb) angle also locks to prevent changes in speed from altering the profile. If selected, the vertical speed required (VSR) readout on the default NAV and map pages shows the
5.Turn the small and large FMS knobs to select desired vertical speed to maintain the proper descent (or a distance from the target reference waypoint climb) angle. At 500 feet above (or below, for a climb) the
and press the ENT key. If the target altitude should occur at the target reference waypoint, enter a distance of zero.
6.Turn the small FMS knob to select ‘Before’ or ‘After’, and press the ENT key. This setting designates whether the offset distance defines a point before you reach the target reference waypoint or after you reach the waypoint.
7.When using a flight plan, the target reference waypoint itself can be specified from the waypoints contained in the flight plan. By default, the last waypoint in the flight plan is selected. To select a different waypoint, turn the small FMS knob to select the desired waypoint and press the ENT key.
target altitude, an ‘APPR TRG ALT’ - Approaching Target Altitude” message is provided. The VSR readout on the Navigation Map Page is blanked out at this point.

8.The default profile utilizes a 400 foot-per- minute descent rate. To change the rate, turn the large FMS knob to highlight the ‘Target Vertical Speed’ field and use the small and large FMS knobs to enter a new rate. Press the ENT key when finished.

VNAV Page Menu Options
The VNAV messages are not enabled until the ‘VNAV Messages On?’ option is enabled from the VNAV Page Menu Options. To display the page menu, press the MENU key (with the VNAV Page displayed). The VNAV Page Options Menu also allows the pilot to restore VNAV page defaults.
