Altitudes associated with arrival and approach procedures are “auto-designated”.
This means the system will automatically use the altitudes loaded with the arrival
or approach for giving vertical flight path guidance outside the FAF. Note that these
altitudes will be displayed as small light blue text.
Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical navigation may also be
made “non-designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing
the
CLR Key. The altitude is now displayed only as a reference. It will not be used
to give vertical flight path guidance. Other displayed altitudes may change due to
re-calculations or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an altitude to a
non-designated altitude.

in determining vertical
flight path guidance. Altitude has been
entered by the pilot.
Altitude is designated
for use in giving
vertical flight path
guidance. Altitude
does not match the
published altitude in
navigation database or
no published altitude
exists. The system cannot
use this altitude in
determining vertical
flight path guidance.
