BAROMETRIC MINIMUM ALERT
The pilot must update the Barometric Minimum if a new approach
NOTE:
is loaded. Previous approach minimums are not automatically cleared
when loading a new approach.
For altitude awareness, a barometric Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision
Height (DH) can be set by the user and is reset when the power is cycled. Once
the user-defined altitude is within the range of the tape, a cyan bug appears at the
reference altitude on the Altimeter. Once the aircraft reaches the user-defined MDA/
DH, the bug and text turn yellow and the aural alert, "Minimums Minimums", is heard.
