GS CAPTURED and GS TRACKING seems not to be the same.

Well, I'm not sure if a 9° glide path is actually flyable for the a/p.

I'd like to know what happens when when the 744-AFDS loses or declines the signal after the [mirror] glideslobe was captured:

1. Is the GS mode reset to ARMED?
2. Does the AFDS revert to V/S continuing with the ROD set?
3. Is there any form of alert?

Many thanks from a rookie!
