Does the B777 have this 180 mode feature?

It sure would explain a lot if it does.

Did You Know? Dynon Autopilot 180º Mode
The 180º mode in Dynon’s integrated autopilot system is a quick and simple way to have the autopilot reverse the aircraft’s current course if you get into trouble.


A good example of a situation in which a pilot might want to use 180º mode is during inadvertent flight into IMC. Another example might be when some type of inflight emergency prompts the pilot to return to a known airport behind the aircraft’s current position.

In the SkyView system, the 180º mode is available only when using the Simplified control scheme. It is engaged using Button 6, labeled 180º, in the AUTOPILOT menu.
