ALTITUDE ALERTING

The Altitude Alerting function alerts the pilot when approaching the Selected Altitude. Whenever the Selected

Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The Altitude Alerter is independent of the installed AFCS. The
following occurs when approach the Selected Altitude:

• Upon passing through 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter)

changes to black text on a light blue background, flashes for five seconds, and an aural tone is generated.

• When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude changes to light blue text

on a black background, flashes for five seconds, and an aural tone is generated (tone not generated for GFC
700 AFCS installations).

• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band (±200 feet of the Selected

Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text on a black background, flashes for five seconds, and an
aural tone is generated.
