Radar Altimeter Configurations
Depending on the installation, the pilot will have one of the following options.
1) BARO or RAD ALT minimums altitude alert, pilot selectable.
• The minimums alerting value is defaulted OFF with a setting of 0 feet.
• The pilot can select alerts ON or OFF and can select the alert altitude
based on either barometric or radar altitude.
• The alert upon descending through the selected altitude is the aural
“minimums, minimums” callout.
• The altitude required to arm the alerting is 150 feet above the selected
altitude.
Additionally, the unit may be configured by the installer for the following alerts.
• An aural “One Hundred Feet” alert is always provided when descending
through 100 ft radar altitude.
• An alert will arm as soon as the radar altitude is above 100 feet.
