Next, we set our assigned initial altitude of 7,000 feet into the Altitude Alerter. We press
the Right Control Knob twice, changing the legend above the knob to ALT in magenta.
Then we turn the right knob to set 7,000 into the Selected Altitude Field. This will help
us capture and maintain our assigned altitude.
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 go black upon attaining the target altitude.
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.
Set the Altitude Alerter
1. Press the Right Knob until ALT displays above the Right Knob and the
Altitude numerical eld and bug are enabled for editing, all three rendered in
magenta (Figures 3-18 and 3-19).
2. Rotate the Right Knob to change the value of the Altitude eld. Rotate
clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease, the value. Once the
correct value is selected and after 10 seconds of inaction, the eld is disabled
and the label, numerical eld, and bug are rendered in cyan (Figure 3-20).
NOTE
Synchronizing the altitude sets the selected altitude to the current
altitude, see Section 2.2.1.3.
