	First, I'm sorry for my poor English spoken. I don't understand how to use PDS to control VNAV with autopilot... could someone help me? �

	It doesn't operate with the Autopilot. They are currently 2 separate instruments. Not sure if it will in a future update or not. I use it to provide info on TO, CLB, CRZ, etc... Mark

Either v/s mode or level change for speed protection and HDG select.. What I've experienced is the advanced automation has made manual flying much easier, and ANY airline pilot should be able to handle the aircraft manually in all situations if something goes wrong..

	Thank you for your answers! So with AP engaged we can only drive climb or descent manually, that's right?
