ALTIMETER
The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a rolling number gauge using a
moving tape. Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at
intervals of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer.
The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug
corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape; if the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on the
tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. See the AFCS Section for more information about
how the G1000 uses the Selected Altitude.
Setting the Selected Altitude:
Turn the
ALT SEL
Knob to set the Selected Altitude in 100-ft increments (if baro-min reference is set, the selected
altitude can be set in 10 feet increments to match the baro-min value).
If an altitude is set in the Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height (MDA/DH), it is also available for the
altitude preslector Selected Altitude.
