CWS provides full control authority to the pilot and pitch and roll can be changed by applying pressure to the yoke. When pressure is released, the autopilot will maintain the pitch and roll attitude established by the control inputs.

Paul Yates. To activate the roll mode, you must press the cmd B button after estabilishing on the ILS, then the both cmd buttons illimunate. And both freq must filled in. Also both runway course must be set captain and FO. And at least both FD must be on. I dont know how the CWS works, never tried I will follow this topic to learn. Its an autopilot mode that lets you controlt he pitch and roll using your yoke.

I dont know if this is something that done in actual world but I use the cws for take off I arm it and take off and always have a perfect departure Carlitos Colon. Frederic Steiner. To try and explain it myself, if you have CWS mode engaged and you point the plane at e. The autopilot will effectively trim the plane on both the pitch and the roll axis to hold that particular attitude and it will keep doing that every time you change the attitude by moving the control column.

My own question is, operationally when is this mode used? You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. When I start to descend and controlling flaps as the speed decreases, after degrees of flaps, aircraft tends to bank to right at almost 90 degrees and dives. Am I using a MAX? Can you please help me I can't land.. I'm still flying Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question.

Finally I start to understand why and how it works. But instead of holding the altitude, the plane continues climbing at a very steep vertical speed. Why is that? Thank you and have a nice day! I fly the standard that comes with X-Plane I had the same problem yesterday at crusing altitude of FL As soon as I went over Mach 0. Even tough it was on Alt-hold.
