RADIO ALTIMETER

The radio altimeter display is

composed of three elements;
radio altimeter (RA) height, deci-
sion height (DH) set and decision
height (DH) alert. In the upper
right corner of the display, a field
of white alphanumeric data pro-
vides radio altimeter height and
annunciation. In the lower right
corner of the display, a green
alphanumeric field displays the
selected DH. This field is active
only when the DH set knob is
active or when the radio altimeter
is providing valid height data. To
the right and above center of the
display, a yellow “DH” alert is dis-
played in a black box outlined in
yellow.

Radio altimeter (RA) height dis-
play range is -20 to 2,500 feet.
Between -20 and 100 feet, height
will be displayed in five foot incre-
ments. Above 100 feet, height
will be displayed in 10 foot incre-
ments. Selection of decision
height and activation of “DH” alert
will be in 1 foot increments. The
maximum and minimum height
displayed will depend on the
radio altimeter installed.

To annunciate an operational
radio altimeter which has not
acquired a valid ground
response, three white dashes are
placed in the height data field. If
the radio altimeter has failed,
three RED dashes are placed in
the height data field. In either
case, if the rising runway is dis-
played, it will remain fixed at the
