That's okay, I know what they are and what they do already. Yeah, so what? I noticed you snipped the part where you were wrong, i.e. where you stated there were only a dozen of so switches and buttons. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. It's been two hours staring at that screen (NOT) and I am still looking for the altitude hold button LOL I'za along with the 100's of passengers would have been dead 118 minutes ago looking for that durn thing. Is it a button, toggle switch, twist knob or what? Gee, imagine ATC describing to me where to look as gravity's unyielding force is applied against the airplane current course. MAY DAY, MAY DAY!!! Oh dang it, ATC hung up the phone because John Q pilot like myself didn't know where the altitude hold button was. |

looking for the altitude hold button LOL *I'za along with the 100's of passengers would have been dead 118 minutes ago looking for that durn thing. See the '10000' on the MCP (the linear panel along the length of the window) Below that is a knob rotate it left to assign a lower altitude and right to increase, below this knob is a button which clearly says 'HOLD' There is also a 'HOLD' button below Heading too which means the aircraft can retain a set heading or altitude whilst you change to the next desired, pressing Heading Select will result in the aircraft turning at a time of your choosing rather than the second you touch the knob and VS (Vertical Speed) switch will start the aircraft climbing or descending at a choosen rate when this is pressed too.
