ALTITUDES

Displays altitude rounded to 100 ft.
Displays cyan dashes on ground power-up.
Altitude alerter sounds when the aircraft is within 1.000 ft of selected altitude.
After altitude capture, when the aircraft departs more than 200ft from the selected altitude, altitude alerter sounds.

Alternately displayed or removed by the PUSH FT-M switch that is integral on the ALT knob.
An M indicates meters with a resolution of 50 meters.

Actual altitude rolled to a resolution of 1 foot but labeled every 20 feet.
For negative altitudes a (-) is displayed in the place of the thousands digit.
The ten-thousands, thousands and hundreds digits are taller.
Altitudes above 0 but less than 10.000 ft have a green/black hashed box symbol that replaces the ten-thousands digit.

Alternately displayed or removed from display by the PUSH FT-M switch that is integral to the ALT knob.
Current altitude in meters is displayed to a resolution of 5 meters. An M indicates meters.

Corresponds to the altitude value set in the altitude alert select digital display.
When the selected altitude is off the displayed range, half of the bug remains on the top or bottom of the scale to indicate the direction to the selected altitude.

White thermometer starting at the altitude reference line and extends to the altitude the aircraft is at in 6 seconds, based on current vertical speed.

White tick marks are at 100-foot increments, except the white chevrons are at the 500-foot increments.
When barometric altitude status or BARO correction data is invalid, altitude data is removed and a X is placed over the entire altitude tape area.

Value is adjusted with BARO SET knob on the guidance panel.
When the PUSH STD button on the BARO SET knob is pushed the altimeter setting window changes to STD and the correction is set to 29.92 inHg or 1013 hPa.

Displayed when VS is the active vertical flight director mode.
Vertical speed is manually entered by using the VS wheel when the FGCS is in VS mode.
Cyan filled bug is displayed on the vertical speed scale and is positioned at the selected vertical speed readout value.
Cyan arrows above or below the display indicate the aircraft must climb or descend to attain the target vertical speed.

Displays digital vertical speed.
If TCAS RA is active, vertical speed readout is removed.
At vertical speeds greater than +- 9.900 FPM, when the pressure altitude data received is invalid or when the altitude rate data is invalid the readout displays ----

Red trapezoid indicating the pitch that should be left to prevent collision with other aircrafts.

Green rectangle indicating the pitch that should be followed to prevent collision with other aircrafts.

Only displayed when radio altitude is valid and less than 2.500 ft.
RALT 1 is displayed on PFD 1, and RALT 2 is displayed on PFD 2.
When one radio altimeter is invalid, the system automatically selects the other radio altimeter. Both displays turn amber and a CAS message is posted for the non-valid radio altitude system.
When a miscompare occurs between system 1 and 2, an RA source data miscompare annunciator is displayed above the digital readout box (RA).
When the radio altitude is invalid in both RA systems, the radio altitude readout is removed and is displayed. Corresponding CAS message is posted indicating both radio altitude systems have failed (-RA-).

Set using the MINIMUMS rotary knob when BARO is selected on the MINIMUMS RA/BARO select switch.
If additional counterclockwise clicks occur after the display reads 0 it will display OFF. After 5 seconds display is removed from view.
Selected BARO altitude bug (with a horizontal L that sticks out from the left edge of the altitude tape).
When barometric altitude is equal to or less than the approach minimums set value the bug and MIN annunciator turn amber.
BARO minimum bug has priority over the trend vector.
