Click the joystick or move it left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
(BARO) will now display just above that joystick. The barometer setting on the PFD will be
outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the barometer setting. Note that
while the barometer setting is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to draw your
attention to it.
To quickly sync the barometer, press and hold the joystick to the left or right for 2 seconds or
middle (½ second click). When BARO is synchronized a message will appear above the knob. If
no GPS position source is available when the airplane is on the ground, the altimeter will not
synchronize and “NO SYNC” will appear
in the altimeter box on the PFD. Table 6 below details
how the BARO setting is synchronized:
On the Ground:
Adjusts the altimeter based on
the current GPS Altitude. After
the (BARO) is synchronized a
GPSALT message will appear in
the altimeter box on the PFD.
In the Air:
Adjusts the altimeter to the
standard pressure setting (i.e.,
29.92 in Hg, 1013 mbar, or 760
mm Hg).
Above 18,000
ft. indicated
altitude
Resets the altimeter to standard
pressure altitude for use in the
flight levels (i.e., 29.92 in Hg,
1013 mbar, or 760 mm Hg).

Altitude Bug
The altitude bug is displayed in cyan on the altitude tape and its associated digital readout is
displayed at the top of the altimeter.
The altitude bug is used as a target for the pitch axis of the
SkyView Autopilot when a pitch axis servo is installed.
The reaction of the autopilot to an altitude bug change depends on the state of the pitch axis,
its armed mode of operation, and the current state of the aircraft. See the Autopilot Operation
chapter for more information about how the autopilot uses the altitude bug.
To set the altitude bug:
1.
Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2.
Move the joystick up or down to highlight (ALT).
3.
Click the joystick or move it joystick left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
