Altitude
Next, we set our assigned initial altitude of 7,000 feet in the Selected Altitude Field. We
press the Right Knob twice, changing the legend above the knob to ALT in magenta.
Then we turn the Right Knob to set 7,000. This will help us capture and maintain our
assigned altitude.
Set the Altitude
1. Press the Right Knob until ALT displays above the Right Knob and the
Selected Altitude numerical field and Bug are enabled for editing, all three
rendered in magenta (
Figures 3-11 and 3-12
).
2. Rotate the Right Knob to change the value of the Selected Altitude field.
Rotate clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease, the value.
3. Once the correct value is selected, and after 10 seconds of inaction, the field
is disabled and the label, Selected Altitude field, and Bug are rendered in cyan
(
Figure 3-13
).
