The V7 is telling LK8000 to switch between STF and Climb. Basically the PNA is slaved to the V7. If I change McCready in one instrument the other follows suite. I don't believe you can uncouple the McCready while other values remain coupled. John Cochran wrote an excellent article on the virtues of having the Nav Device and the Vario McCreadys uncoupled.

Thanks Lane, John's article on final glide and MC is excellent & it would be great to uncouple the LK final glide MC from the V7 speed to fly. I'll dig a bit deeper into the manuals and may ask Paolo if I don't find anything..

Jim, the V7 has options to change between climb and cruise using speed or a switch. I've flown with it both ways and prefer having the switch.

Cheers,
