ALTIMETER

The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a rolling number gauge using a

moving tape. Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at
intervals of 20 feet. The indicated altitude is displayed in the black pointer.

The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug

corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape; if the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on the
tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. The metric value, when selected, is displayed in a
separate box above the Selected Altitude.

A magenta Altitude Trend Vector extends up or down the left of the altitude tape, the end resting at the

approximate altitude to be reached in 6 seconds at the current vertical speed. The trend vector is not shown if
altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due to a system failure.

Setting the Selected Altitude:

Turn the ALT Knob to set the Selected Altitude (large knob for 1000-ft increments, small knob for 100-ft
increments, (increments reduce to 10 feet for approach). If set to Metric mode, the large knob adjusts the Selected
Altitude in 500-meter increments; the small knob adjusts the Selected Altitude in 50-meter increments.

If set, the Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height (MDA/DH) value is also available for the Selected Altitude.
