(Figure 2-31). A numerical rolling drum readout indicating altitude values to the closest
20 feet is provided adjacent to the xed pointer. When climbing or descending, a
magenta Altitude Trend Vector displays above or below the altitude pointer, indicating
the altitude that will be reached in six seconds if the current rate of climb or descent is
maintained.
Minor tick marks are provided on the tape at 20-foot intervals, and major tick marks are
provided at 100-foot intervals. The thousand and ten-thousand 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 pressure setting is shown just below the Altitude tape
in the Data Bar (Figure 2-2, No. 39), and can be adjusted by pressing the BARO Hot Key
and rotating the Right Knob.
The Altitude Tape also includes a built-in Altitude Alerter, which consists of an
Altitude Bug on the Altitude Tape (Figure 2-2, No. 26), a Selected Altitude Field
(Figure 2-2, No. 22), a visual Altitude alert (Figure 2-2, No. 23. For more information
on using the Altitude Alerter, see Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
A Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is shown as a tape on the Navigation Display (Figure
2-48 and Figure 2-2, No. 57) to the right of the CDI in 360 Compass mode. A
numerical vertical rate is shown in the upper right-hand corner of the Navigation
Display during climbs and descents (Figure 2-2, No. 56). The VSI tape is not shown in
ARC Compass mode, but the numerical value display is shown in both 360 and ARC
Compass modes.
