5.3.8 Category 8, Radio Altitude Input Select
The following table provides identification of the Radio Altitude type. The entry in the Radio Altitude Type corresponds
to a table that provides detailed information on the configuration. For example, the details for Radio Altitude Type #1 are
found in Table 5.3.8-1. ARINC 552, ALT 55 and digital ARINC 429 compatible Radio Altimeters are supported. ALT50
Radio Altimeters are not recommended due to the maximum 2000-foot operation. GPWS TSO-C92c requires Mode 1
alert thresholds up to 2450 feet radio altitude.
In this category, only the following signals are defined:
• Radio Altitude source selection, input scaling, and associated validities.

Note 1: ID 251 - 255 may only be used in conjunction with other IOC bus selections for categories 2,6,9,10,11 and 12.
Note 2: ID 254 must be used in conjunction with Category 9 ID 254, since this provides Label 163 which determines from
bits 19-21 whether MDA or DH is displayed.
Note 3: ID 251, 252, 254 and 255 must not be used in conjunction with Category 4, ID 100 or 101 Altitude Callouts types.
