PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY
ALTIMETER
The Altimeter displays barometric altitude values in
feet on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The
Altimeter displays the following information:
• Altitude values
• Altitude Reference Bug
• Altitude Trend Vector
• Altitude Reference Box
• Barometric Setting Box
• Metric display

Altitude Values
The numeric labels and major tick marks are shown
at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at intervals
of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black
pointer.
Altitude Reference Bug
The Altitude Reference Bug is displayed at the reference
altitude or the edge of the tape (whichever is closer to the
current altitude) to provide increased altitude awareness.
To set the Altitude Reference Bug:
Turn the
ALT
knobs to set the Altitude Reference
Bug. The
small ALT
knob sets the hundreds and
the
large ALT
knob sets the thousands. This
altitude also appears in the Altitude Reference
Box above the Altimeter.
Altitude Trend Vector
This vertical, magenta line extends up or down the
altitude scale located left of the numeric labels. The end
of the trend vector displays approximately what altitude
will be reached in six seconds if the current rate of vertical
speed is maintained. The trend vector is absent if altitude
remains constant, or if any data needed to calculate it is
not available due to a system failure.
Altitude Reference Box
The Altitude Reference Box displays the reference
altitude in feet. The metric value, when selected, is
displayed on top of the Altitude Reference Box.
NOTE: The Altitude Reference Box is not part of
the autopilot altitude preselect system and is
used to aid the pilot in altitude control.
Barometric Setting Box
The Barometric Setting Box displays the barometric
pressure in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals
(hPa).
To select barometric pressure:
Turn the large BARO (outer) knob to select
the desired setting.
