ALTIMETER

The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a moving tape rolling number gauge.

Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20

feet. The indicated altitude is displayed inside the black pointer.

The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug

corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape. If the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on the

tape, the bug appears at the upper or lower edge of the tape. When the metric value is selected it is displayed

in a separate box above the Selected Altitude.

Setting the Selected Altitude:

Turn the ALT Knob to set the Selected Altitude (large knob for 1000-ft increments, small knob for 100-ft

increments (increments reduce to 10 feet for approach).

If set, the Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height (MDA/DH) value is also available for the Selected Altitude.
