All SUA alerts (except for prohibited areas) may be turned on or off to avoid

unnecessary alerts. Alerts for prohibited areas will always be displayed. An altitude
buffer also may be set to extend the vertical profile of your aircraft to provide earlier
warnings when climbing or descending.

For example, if you are 1500 feet above an SUA, and the altitude buffer is set to

1000 feet, you will not be notified with an alert message. Turning the SUA alerts on
and off and setting the altitude buffer is covered in Section 5, page 59. The SUA
information will still be displayed on the SUA Alert page using the

T key.
