Altitude Bug
The selected altitude is displayed in the Altitude Preselect Window located above the altimeter
tape and is marked on the altimeter tape itself by a magenta rectangle “bug” with a notch. The
altitude bug serves two functions:
�
The commanded altitude for the autopilot to climb/descend to (Mini-AP) and hold.
�
A reminder for a cruise altitude or any other altitude the pilot wishes to remember.
To set the altitude bug:
1. Press the knob twice to access the Vertical Autopilot menu.
1. Turn the knob to enter the desired altitude into the Altitude Preselect Window.
2. Press the knob to set the bug to the selected altitude.
3. If an autopilot with vertical navigation capability is
connected and engaged, the system will then display
a message to verify the speed or rate of the climb or
descent desired to fly to the set altitude. See GRT
Autopilot User Manual for more information.
Altitude Deviation Alerts
An alert can be set to flash on the Mini when the altitude
specified in the Altitude Preselect Window is exceeded
by a certain amount. To set an Altitude Alert:
1. Access Set Menu > Primary Flight Display
2. Scroll to
Altitude Alerting
