Altimeter

The altimeter displays the current altitude, altitude trend, altitude bug setting,
altitude bug, and the current BARO setting.
The Altitude Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line, extending up or down
on the left side of the Altitude scale. The end of the trend vector corresponds to
the predicted altitude in six seconds if the current vertical speed is maintained.
The Altitude Bug is displayed at the selected Altitude Bug setting. A portion
of the Altitude Bug will be displayed at the top or the bottom of the altitude tape
if the selected Altitude Bug is off of the tape.
When an optional Radar Altimeter is installed, the altitude received from the
radar altitude will be displayed on the PFD. See the Radar Altimeter section for
more details.
