Lateral mode change and vertical mode reversion
In descent:
Lateral mode change and vertical mode reversion
This reversion to V/S (FPA) mode on the current V/S target does not modify the pitch behavior of the aircraft. It is the flight crew’s responsibility to adapt pitch, if necessary.
THE AIRCRAFT ENTERS A F-PLN DISCONTINUITY
NAV mode is lost, when entering a F-PLN discontinuity. On the lateral axis, the aircraft reverts to HDG (or TRK) mode. On the vertical axis, the same reversion (as the one indicated above) occurs.
THE PF MANUALLY FLIES THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE FD ON, AND DOES NOT FOLLOW THE FD PITCH ORDERS
If the flight crew does not follow the FD pitch orders, an A/THR mode reversion occurs. This reversion is effective, when the A/THR is in THRUST MODE (THR IDLE, THR CLB), and the aircraft reaches the limits of the speed envelope (VLS, VMAX):

AP, FD, A/THR MODE CHANGES AND REVERSIONS
Criteria: P4320, SA
7 Applicable to: MSN 1668-4078
INTRODUCTION
The flight crew manually engages the modes.
However, they may change automatically, depending on the:
? AP, FD, and A/THR system integration
? Logical sequence of modes
? So-called "mode reversions".
AP, FD, ATHR SYSTEM INTEGRATION
There is a direct relationship between aircraft pitch control, and engine thrust control. This
relationship is designed to manage the aircraft’s energy.
? If the AP/FD pitch mode controls a vertical trajectory (e.g. ALT, V/S, FPA, G/S):
