ALTITUDE ALERTING

The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with visual and aural alerts when
approaching the Selected Altitude. Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the
Altitude Alerter is reset. The following will occur when approaching the Selected
Altitude:
• Passing within 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown
above the Altimeter) flashes for 5 seconds and an aural tone is generated.
• When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Selected
Altitude flashes for 5 seconds and an aural tone is generated to indicate that the
aircraft is approaching the selected altitude.
• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band
(±200 Feet of the Selected Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text
on a black background, flashes for 5 seconds, and an aural tone is generated.
Turning the altitude alert tone on/off:

ENT Key.
3) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'Sound', and press the ENT Key.

Off' by turning the FMS Joystick.
