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). 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.

Rotating the knob quickly will change the altitude
value in larger increments.

NOTE
Setting the Altitude Alerter provides visual 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; 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 to thedeviation.
