NOTE
If the altitude preselect is not changed before selecting FLC,
the autopilot may re-capture the current altitude immediately
after entering FLC mode. Always ensure that the altitude
preselect is adjusted prior to selecting FLC.
If the airspeed reference cannot be maintained without
deviating away from the selected altitude, the system will
maintain level flight until the power or reference is changed
to allow climbing or descending towards the selected altitude.
The FLC mode is limited to airspeeds between 90 KIAS and
180 KIAS. Use engine power to maintain appropriate vertical
speed. If the CWS switch is used while in FLC mode, the
airspeed reference will change to the airspeed when the CWS
switch is released.
