Overview System Instruments Flight EIS CNS Interface GPS Navigation Flight Instruments Syncing to the current altitude: 1) From the PFD Page (one display) or PFD (two display), press the ALT (or ALT/PTCH if the Integrated Autopilot is configured) Softkey. 2) Press and hold the FMS Joystick. The current altitude is now displayed as the Selected Altitude. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE The barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa) when metric units are selected. Selecting the altimeter barometric pressure setting: 1) From the PFD Page (one display) or PFD (two display), press the BARO Softkey to highlight the barometric pressure setting. 2) Turn the FMS Joystick to display the desired barometric pressure setting and press the ENT Key. Syncing to the local barometric pressure setting: 1) From the PFD Page (one display) or PFD (two display), press the BARO Softkey. 2) While stationary on the ground, press and hold the FMS Joystick. 3) Verify indicated altitude matches local field elevation. BAROMETRIC MINIMUM ALERT For altitude awareness, a barometric Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision Height (DH) can be set by the user and is reset when the power is cycled. Once the user-defined altitude is within the range of the tape, a cyan bug appears at the reference altitude on the Altimeter. Once the aircraft reaches the user-defined MDA/ DH, the bug and text turn yellow and the aural alert, "Minimums. Minimums", is heard.
