Setting the Barometric Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height and
Bug:
1) While viewing the Active Flight Plan Page of the FPL page group, press the
small MFD knob. Turn the large MFD knob to activate the Baro Minimums
Altitude.
2) Turn the large and small MFD knobs to change the Baro Minimums Altitude
value. Resolution is ten feet.
Figure 2-21 Barometric Minimums Altitude Selection
3) Press ENT to activate the selected value.
Alerting is inhibited while the aircraft is on the ground and until the aircraft
reaches 150 feet above the selected Minimum Altitude. Normally the altitude
alerter only allows selection of altitudes in 100 foot increments. When a value
other than 100 feet is set for Baro Mins, it becomes a selectable value in the
altitude alerter.
In dual installations, the minimums alerting altitude value may be set from
either GDU 620 and will be synchronized on both units.
To set the descent altitude and enable the Altitude Minimums Bug, refer to
Section 3, MFD, Flight Plan Pages.
NOTE: If you highlight the minimums Altitude field on the FPL page and hit the CLR key,
it will turn the minimums alerting functionality off.
