Foreword System Sec 1 PFD Sec 2 MFD Sec 3 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.
