FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Altitude Alerting
The altitude alerter provides the pilot with a visual alert
when approaching the reference altitude. Although flight
control systems use the same reference altitude box as the
altitude alerter does, the altitude alerter is not coupled to
a flight control system and can function without one. The
visual annunciations appear in the altitude reference box.
Anytime the reference altitude is changed, the altitude
alerter is reset.

Anytime the reference altitude is changed, the altitude
alerter is reset.
There is an altitude band set at +/- 1,000 ft of the refer-
ence altitude and a deviation band set at +/- 200 ft of the
reference altitude. When the pilot climbs or descends to
the reference altitude, the reference altitude flashes with
cyan text on a black background for 5 seconds, then it
changes to black text on a cyan background as the aircraft
passes through +/- 1,000 ft of the reference altitude.

When the aircraft passes within +/- 200 ft of the refer-
ence altitude, the reference altitude flashes with cyan text
on a black background, indicating that the aircraft is with-
in the deviation band. Each time the pilot flies outside
the deviation band (+/- 200 ft of the reference altitude),
the reference altitude flashes with yellow text on a black
background for 5 seconds.
