2.3.1.3. Altitude Tape and Alerter
Altitude is indicated by a moving altitude tape against a xed position altitude
pointer (Figure 2-2, No. 24), shown on the right-hand side of the Attitude Display
(Figure 2-31). A digital, rolling drum readout indicating altitude values to the closest
20 feet is provided adjacent to the xed pointer. Minor tick marks are provided on the
tape at 20-foot intervals, and major tick marks are provided at 100-foot intervals. The
thousands and ten-thousands digits are larger than other digits on the tape. Negative
altitudes are indicated by a “-“ sign preceding the numerical altitude value in the drum.
The current altimeter barometric setting is shown just below the Altitude tape in the
Data Bar (Figure 2-2, No. 37), and can be adjusted using the Right Knob.
The Airspeed Tape also includes a built-in altitude alerter, which consists of an
Altitude Bug on the Airspeed Tape (Figure 2-2, No. 25), a Selected Altitude display
(Figure 2-2, No. 22), a visual Altitude Alert (Figure 2-2, No. 23), and optionally, an
audio alert. For more information on using the Alerter see Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is shown on the Navigation Display (Figure 2-31 and
Figure 2-2, No. 55), to the right of the HSI.
