Radar Altimeter - Garmin G1000 Diamond DA62 Pilot's Manual

RADAR ALTIMETER

If an optional radar altimeter is installed, when the radar height (the aircraft altitude above ground level
detected by the radar altimeter) is between zero and 2500 feet, the current value is displayed in green to the
right of the current aircraft heading (Figure 2-42). Display of radar height becomes more sensitive as the height
above ground decreases (Table 2-3).
When the radar altimeter is selected as the altitude source for the minimum descent altitude alerting function
(Figure 2-43), the color of the radar height changes to yellow upon reaching at or below the MDA/DH (Figure
2-44).
