ALTIMETER
The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a moving tape rolling number gauge.
Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20
feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer.
feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer.
The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug
corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape. If the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on the
tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. When the metric value is selected it is displayed
in a separate box above the Selected Altitude.
tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. When the metric value is selected it is displayed
in a separate box above the Selected Altitude.
A magenta Altitude Trend Vector extends up or down the left of the altitude tape, the end resting at the
approximate altitude to be reached in 6 seconds at the current vertical speed. The trend vector is not shown if
altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due to a system failure.
altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due to a system failure.
Setting the Selected Altitude:
Turn the ALT Knob to set the Selected Altitude. The large knob adjusts the Selected Altitude in 1000-ft increments,
the small knob in 100-ft increments. If the altimeter is set to display meters, the large knob adjusts the Selected
Altitude in 500-meter increments, the small knob in 50-meter increments.

If set, the Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height (MDA/DH) value is also available for the Selected
altitude.
