Go-Around Mode
Pilots who have VNAV autopilot approach capability via a NAV radio or IFR GPS can now activate a "go-around" mode with the touch of a button. This allows the autopilot to continue to reduce the workload in a go-around situation.
When in VNAV mode, go-around mode can be activated via any of 3 mechanisms: pressing any of the Nose Up button on the SV-AP-PANEL, the AUTOPILOT > PITCH > GO AROUND button on-screen, or an optionally-connected external button. Go-around mode changes the AP lateral mode to TRK mode with the approach inbound course as the target. Pitch mode is switched to either IAS or VS mode (dependent on setup) with the default climb VS or IAS selected. An "ADD POWER" annunciation is also provided on the PFD page.
