4.2.3.3. Altitude Level-O and Deviation Alert
The Altitude (level-o ) Alert is ARMED and rendered on-screen as a yellow alert ag
next to the Selected Altitude value when the aircraft altitude transitions to within 200
feet or 15 seconds of reaching the selected altitude (Figure 4-23).
When an optional Sonalert tone generator device is installed, a one-second tone
also sounds. Once the current altitude is within ± 25 feet of the Selected Altitude, the
Altitude Alert extinguishes (Figure 4-24).
After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the aircraft’s current altitude diers from
the selected altitude by more than 200 feet, the yellow alert ag ashes. When an
optional Sonalert tone generator device is installed, a one-second tone also sounds.
NOTE
Rotating the knob quickly will change the altitude
value in larger increments.

NOTE
Setting the Altitude Alerter provides visual and aural cues to help the pilot capture and
maintain target altitudes. When set to a new altitude, the Alerter will illuminate a yellow ag
adjacent to the target altitude display and sound a one-second tone; 15 seconds (or 200 feet)
before the aircraft will reach the target altitude (based on current rate of climb or descent).
The yellow ag will extinguish once the target is reached. Subsequently, if the aircraft deviates
more than 200 feet above or below the target altitude, the ag will again illuminate, and
another one-second tone will sound to alert the pilot to thedeviation.
