VNAV

Vertical NAVigation in aviation is a function of autopilot which directs vertical movement of aircraft either according to pre-programmed FMS flight plan during cruise or according to ILS glideslope during approach.

VNAV in the sense that the FMS directs altitude according to a flight plan was first introduced on B757 and B767 in 1982, while Autoland (using ILS guidance) has been available since mid-20th century.
