2.4.4 Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height
Alerting
For altitude awareness, a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) alert can be
displayed on the PFD. The values are set in the Active Flight Plan page or from
the Charts page menu. When active, the minimum descent altitude setting is
displayed in the minimums window at the bottom left of the Altitude Tape when
you are within 2500 feet of the selected altitude.
NOTE
:
The Altitude Minimums Alerting Bug appears parked at the bottom
of the altitude tape as soon as a value is set in the minimums alerter. The
bug will unpark and start to move up the tape as soon as the altitude is
within the range of the tape. The bug is reset when power is cycled.
The following visual annunciations occur when approaching the MDA/DH:
•When the aircraft altitude descends to within 2500feet of theselected

text. Once in range, the Altitude Minimums Bug appears in cyan on the
