On the Ground: Adjusts the altimeter based on the current GPS Altitude. After the
(BARO) is synchronized a GPSALT message will appear in the altimeter
box on the PFD.
In the Air:
Adjusts the altimeter based on the
METAR of the flight plan's
destination airport if within 20nm.
If there is no flight plan waypoint or
it is too far away then the altimeter
is set to the nearest ADS-B METAR
within 100nm with a valid altimeter
setting. After the (BARO) is
synchronized a SYNC message will
appear in a window above the knob
and the airport identifier will
appear in the altimeter box on the
PFD.
Adjusts the altimeter to the
standard pressure setting (i.e.,
29.92 in Hg, 1013 mbar, or 760
mm Hg).
Above 18,000 ft
indicated
altitude
Resets the altimeter to standard pressure altitude for use in the flight
levels (i.e., 29.92 in Hg, 1013 mbar, or 760 mm Hg).
Altitude Bug
The altitude bug is displayed in cyan on the altitude tape and its associated digital readout is
displayed at the top of the altimeter. The altitude bug is used as a target for the pitch axis of the
SkyView Autopilot when a pitch axis servo is installed.
The reaction of the autopilot to an altitude bug change depends on the state of the pitch axis,
its armed mode of operation, and the current state of the aircraft. See the Autopilot Operation
chapter for more information about how the autopilot uses the altitude bug.
To set the altitude bug:
1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (ALT).
3. Click the joystick or move it joystick left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
(ALT) will now display just above that joystick. The altitude bug setting on the PFD will be
outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the altitude bug. Note that while
the altitude bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to draw your attention to it.
