ALTITUDE CONSTRAINTS

The G950 system can use altitude constraints associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for vertical
navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the specific instance, manually entered or retrieved from the
published altitudes in the navigation database. The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures
that call for "Cross at" altitudes. If the procedure states "Expect to cross at," then the altitude is not in the
database. In this case the altitude may be entered manually.
