2.4 altimeter
The altimeter displays the current altitude, altitude trend, altitude bug setting,
altitude bug, and the current BARO setting.
The Altitude Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line, extending up or down
on the left side of the Altitude scale. The end of the trend vector corresponds to
the predicted altitude in six seconds if the current vertical speed is maintained.
The Altitude Bug is displayed at the selected Altitude Bug setting. A portion
of the Altitude Bug will be displayed at the top or the bottom of the altitude tape
if the selected Altitude Bug is off of the tape.
2.4.1 Setting the Altitude Bug and Alerter
1) Press the ALT key to activate Altitude mode.
2) Turn the PFD knob to move the Altitude Bug to a desired altitude.
OR
3) Press the center of the PFD knob to set the selected altitude to the current
altitude.

Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. NOTE: The Altitude Alerter function may be disabled in some installations. When the Altitude Alerter is disabled, pressing the A LT key will result in an "ALT KEY INOP" message. The following occur when approaching the Selected Altitude: • Upon passing through 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter) changes to black text on a light blue background, and flashes for five seconds. An audio alert may be generated, if configured. • When the aircraft passes within 200 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude changes to light blue text on a black background and flashes for five seconds and an aural tone may be generated, if configured. • After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band (beyond ±200 feet of the Selected Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text on a black background, flashes for five seconds, and an aural tone is generated. Within 1000 ftWithin 200 ftDeviation of ±200 ft Figure 2-20 Altitude Alerting Visual Annunciations NOTE: The aural tone when approaching the selected altitude may be configured at installation for either 200 feet or 1000 feet. The tone when deviating from the selected altitude always occurs at 200 feet.

Barometric pressure units may be displayed as either inches (in) or hectopascals (hpa). See System Display Units in Section 3 for more detail. 1) Press the BARO key to activ ate Baro mode. 2) Turn the PFD knob to increase or decrease the altimeter setting. OR PFD Knob Selected Baro SettingBaro Setting shown in Altimeter window Figure 2-21 Barometric Setting 3) Press the PFD knob while in Baro mode to toggle between Standard Pressure (29.92 in) and the currently selected barometric setting. 2.4.4 Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height Alerting For altitude awareness, a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision Height (DH) alert can be displayed on the PFD. The values are set in the Active Flight Plan page or from the Charts page menu. When active, the minimum descent altitude setting is displayed in the minimums window at the bottom left of the Altitude Tape when you are within 2500 feet of the selected minimum altitude. NOTE: The Altitude Minimums Alerting Bug appears parked at the bottom of the altitude tape as soon as a value is set in the minimums alerter. The bug will unpark and start to move up the tape as soon as the altitude is within the range of the tape. The bug is reset when power is cycled. The following visual annunciations occur when approaching the MDA/DH: • When the aircraft altitude descends to within 2500 feet of the selected altitude setting, the Minimums box appears with the altitude value in cyan text. • When the aircraft is within 100 feet of the selected altitude setting, the bug and text turn white. • Once the aircraft reaches the selected altitude minimums setting, the bug and the altitude text turn yellow and the aural alert “Minimums, minimums,” is heard one time. The text remains in yellow until the aircraft altitude is more than 50 feet above the set altitude minimum value.

Normally the altitude alerter only allows selection of altitudes in 100 foot increments. When a value other than 100 feet is set for Baro Mins, it becomes a selectable value in the altitude alerter. In dual installations, the minimums alerting altitude value may be set from either GDU 620 and will be synchronized on both units. Details on using a Radar Altimeter as the source for setting minimums is in Section 2 - PFD - Radar Altimeter.

Figure 2-24 Vertical Speed (V/S) Tape and Window
The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft vertical speed using a non-
moving tape. The tape can be scaled at ±2000, ±3000, or ±4000 fpm as set by
the installer. Major gradations are every 1000 fpm and minor gradations every
500 fpm. The current vertical speed is displayed in the pointer along the tape.
Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100
fpm. If the rate of ascent/descent exceeds the vertical speed displayed on the
tape, the pointer appears at the corresponding edge of the tape and the rate
appears inside the pointer. The Vertical Speed Indicator range determines the
airspeed tape range.

Letters indicate the cardinal points and numeric labels occur every 30º. Major tick marks are at 10º intervals and minor tick marks at 5º intervals. A digital reading of the current heading appears on top of the HSI, and the current ground track is represented on the HSI by a magenta diamond. The HSI also presents turn rate, course deviation, bearing, and navigation source information. The “MSG” annunciation will be shown in the HSI when an unacknowledged message is present on the selected navigator.

The course pointer is a single line arrow (GPS1, VOR1, and LOC1) or a double line arrow (GPS2, VOR2, and LOC2) which points in the direction of the set course. “LOC” will automatically be displayed if a localizer frequency is tuned. The To/From arrow rotates with the course pointer and is displayed when the active NAVAID is received. 2.6.1 Setting the Heading Bug The Selected Heading is shown to the upper left of the HSI for 10 seconds after being adjusted. The light blue bug on the compass rose corresponds to the Selected Heading.
