 +   * Press the button for the heading, it should activate the **HDG** mode, push it a second time and it goes back to **ROLL**. 
 +   * Push the heading knob in to set the heading to the heading of the aircraft (SYNC) 
 +   * Push the altitude button and it should select altitude hold, push it again to go back to pitch hold. 
 +   * Push the vertical speed button, it goes to VS, push again goes back to pitch. 
 +   * FLC for a speed hold (IAS climb or descent), use speed knob to select the speed you want... push FLC again, goes back to pitch hold 
 +   * When in VS or PITCH you can use the vertical wheel to pitch the nose up/down... 
 + 
 +To change the navigation source to follow the FMS flight plan you currently have to press the **NAV/BRG** button

 + 
 +   * After selecting the right source on your side make sure the white arrow is pointing to your side (can be changed with the CPL button). 
 +   * Then push NAV to arm the capture (When you are close to the route it will engage FMS lateral steering and follow the route.) 
 +   * There is no VNAV climb installed in our King air, so climb with **PITCH**, **VS** or **FLC**.(Descent with **VS**, **FLC** or **VNAV**) 
 +   * Then change source to NAV1 or NAV2 (depending on where you entered the ILS frequency) and then push **APPR** to fly the approach. 
 +   * You can also leave it in FMS source and push approach but that will give you an non precision approach.
