Which flight mode is associated with vertical speed adjustments?

The flight mode associated with vertical speed adjustments is VS, which stands for Vertical Speed. In this mode, the aircraft's autopilot is set to maintain a specified vertical speed, which means the pilots can select a rate of climb or descent in feet per minute. This is particularly useful for achieving a desired altitude change within a given timeframe, allowing for controlled adjustments to climb or descent rates during various phases of flight.

When the aircraft is in VS mode, pilots have the ability to make precise vertical speed changes without having to manage the pitch attitude manually. This enhances situational awareness and simplifies altitude control, especially during transition phases of flight, such as takeoff or landing, where maintaining a specific vertical speed is critical for safety and operational efficiency.
