ALTIMETER
The Altimeter displays barometric altitude values in
feet on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The
Altimeter displays the following information:

Altitude Values
The 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.

pointer.
Altitude Reference Bug
The Altitude Reference Bug is displayed at the reference
altitude or the edge of the tape (whichever is closer to the
current altitude) to provide increased altitude awareness.
current altitude) to provide increased altitude awareness.
To set the altitude reference bug:
1. Turn the ALT knobs to set the altitude reference
bug. The
small ALT knob sets the hundreds and
the large ALT knob sets the thousands. This
altitude also appears in the altitude reference
box above the altimeter.
Altitude Trend Vector
The vertical magenta line extends up or down the al-
titude scale located left of the numeric labels. The end
of the trend vector displays approximately what altitude
will be reached in 6 seconds if the current rate of vertical
speed is maintained. The trend vector is absent if altitude
remains constant, or if any data needed to calculate it is
not available due to a system failure.

Barometric Setting Box
The Barometric Setting Box displays the barometric pres-
sure in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa).
To select barometric pressure:
1. Turn the large BARO (outer) knob to select
the desired setting.
