altitude and exit the barometer set mode. The settings will not be saved
without pushing enter.

When the autopilot is engaged and in altitude hold, upon exit of the

barometer set page the autopilot will climb or descend to the current
selected altitude. *(Garmin G900X only), barometer value will be
automatically set if the G900X barometer value is adjusted.

Altitude Select Mode


Pressing SEL will display the

SEL ALT

set up screen. At this screen

the

SEL ALT

numerals are underlined so that rotation of the knob selects

the target altitude to the nearest 500’. Press and hold the knob while
turning to get 50’ steps. Press enter to save the value and advance the
cursor to the IAS or SVS setting.

If a higher altitude has been selected, the pre-set (NORM CLIMB)

airspeed is displayed. This value can be modified by rotating the knob.
When the airspeed has been set press enter and the altitude transition will
begin. The autopilot will then revert to the normal flight display. To use
vertical speed for the transition instead of airspeed, simply press the
vertical speed rocker switch in the desired direction to reach the target
rate.

If a lower altitude than current is selected by at least 500 ft, the

autopilot will allow you to choose a rate of descent. The default is 500
fpm. Use the vertical speed rocker to adjust the setting to the desired
value. Press enter after selecting the rate to return to the normal flight
display.

Both the selected altitude and airspeed can be modified while in

transition to the selected altitude. Press the knob once to move the
underlined cursor to selected altitude. Press it a second time to move it to
airspeed and a third time returns it to direction(if in TRK mode). After a
short period of time it will return automatically to direction.
