Setting The Altitude Bug/Altitude Alerting - Garmin G600 Pilot's Manual

Setting the Altitude Bug/Altitude Alerting

The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with visual and aural
alerts (if interfaced to an audio panel) when approaching the Selected Altitude.
Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The
Altitude Alerter is independent of any autopilot installed in the aircraft. The
following occur when approaching the Selected Altitude:
• Upon passing through 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected
Altitude (shown above the Altimeter) changes to black text on a light blue
background, flashes for 5 seconds.
• When the aircraft passes within 200 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected
Altitude changes to light blue text on a black background and flashes for 5
seconds and an aural tone is generated.
• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation
band (beyond ±200 feet of the Selected Altitude), the Selected Altitude
changes to yellow text on a black background, flashes for 5 seconds, and an
aural tone is generated.
