DFCS - GROUND OPERATIONS - PITCH MODE - ALT HOLD
General
You can push these mode selector switches on the MCP and activate the modes when the airplane is on the ground:
-ALT HLD
-LVL CHG.

You cannot activate the VNAV mode when on the ground. You can push the V/S mode selector switch on the ground, however, the mode changes to LVL CHG.
ALT HLD and Flight Directors
When you turn on the F/Ds and push the ALT HLD mode selector switch the FMA annunciator shows ALT HOLD and FD. The F/D command does not show because there is no valid roll mode. Push HDG SEL to activate a roll mode. The FMA now also shows HDG SEL and the F/D command shows on the AI. Turn the selected altitude to within 100 feet of the airplanes altitude. The ALT HLD light on the mode selector switch goes out.
ALT HLD and Autopilot
When you engage A/P A in CMD and push the ALT HLD mode selector switch these annunciations show on the FMA:
-ALT HOLD
-CMD
-CWS R.
