gauge 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.

The Altimeter also displays a reference to the height above the ground; refer to Radar Altimeter discussion

later in this section for more information.

The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug

corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape; if the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on the

tape, the bug appears at the upper or lower edge of the tape. See the AFCS Section for more information about

Selected Altitude.

Turn the ALT SEL Knob to set the Selected Altitude in 100-ft increments (increments reduce to 10 feet for

approach) up to the aircraft's service ceiling. When meters are displayed, Selected Altitude is adjusted in 50

meter increments.

If set, the Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height (MDA/DH) value is also available for the Selected Altitude.
