intercept the selected altitude.
NOTE
It may be possible
tp
observe minor difference between the
autopilots' selected altitude and the aircraft altimeter after an
altitude capture. These discrepancies are attributed to the
autopilot and altimeter using different static sources
combined with autopilot system tolerances. Not inputing the
proper barometric setting into the autopilot computer will
produce inaccuracies.
