DC-8 Altitude select.

Hi. How do you set/select the altitude in the AP?

Hi
You can set an altitude alert only. The autopilot can holt a pitch or climb rate wich you can set to 0, when you reach the desired altitude. So it is not fully automatic, only partially. When you get the altitude alert wait (this is before you reach it) lower the climb rate a bit and when you reach the level go on zero climb.
