Altitude Alerting
Altitude alerting provides the pilot with a visual and
aural alert when approaching the reference altitude.
Although flight control systems use the same reference
altitude box the altitude alerter does, the altitude alerter
is not coupled to a flight control system and can func
-
tion without one. The visual annunciations appear in the
altitude reference box. Anytime the reference altitude is
changed, the altitude alerter is reset.
There is an altitude band set at +/- 1,000 ft. of the ref
-
erence altitude and a deviation band set at +/- 200 ft. of
the reference altitude. When the pilot climbs or descends
to the reference altitude an aural alert (single tone) sounds
and the reference altitude flashes (cyan on black) for 5
seconds then changes to black on cyan as the aircraft pass
-
es through +/- 1,000 ft. of the reference altitude.
When the aircraft passes within +/- 200 ft. of the ref
-
erence altitude, the reference altitude flashes (cyan on
black) again indicating that the aircraft is within the devia
-
tion band. Each time the pilot flies outside the deviation
band (+/- 200 ft. of the reference altitude), an aural alert
is generated and the reference altitude flashes (yellow on
black) for 5 seconds.
