Operations
Altitude Sensor Selection
Altitude Assist requires the system include an altitude encoder or
Fuel/Air Data Sensor (F/ADS). This procedure is used to select which
of these sensors is used for altitude data. In this example, the current
sensor is an altitude encoder, and is changed to an F/ADS. The same
procedure is used to change back.
If an ARINC 429 Air/Data sensor is installed in the
system, this sensor is automatically selected as the
current sensor for altitude data. No other altitude
sensor may be selected.
