Apollo 11 PDI Question

[ADT187]

Hi All,

Have been having a go at the AP 11 PDI demo using some of the original documentation as a guide.
My question regards AGC Program 64 transition to landing.
To enter manual rate of descent control, the following steps are instructed:

PGNS - Attitude Hold, Activate ROD switch , Auto transfer to P66

For the life of me I can't find the Rate of Descent switch! Any clues?

Thanks,

Alex

Hey Alex,

The ROD switch is not visible on the panel itself, but is accessible via hotkeys:

Minus: Increase Descent Rate
Equals: Decrease Descent Rate
