5OOO
FT
Advisory altitude calculated by the system estimating the
altitude of the aircraft as it passes over the navigation
point. No white line above or below to indicate a potential
constraint.
5OOO
FT
Altitude retrieved from the navigation database. White line
above or below indicates the type of constraint,
as shown in the preceding figure.
These altitudes are provided as a reference, and are not
designated to be used in determining vertical guidance.
Altitude is designated for use in
determining vertical guidance. A pencil
icon indicates manual designation or
manual modified data entry.
The system cannot use this altitude in
determining vertical guidance because of
an invalid constraint condition.
