loW Altitude AnnunciAtion
note:
The Low Altitude Annunciation is available only when SBAS is available. This annunciation is not
shown for systems with TAWS or Terrain SVT, unless terrain alerting is inhibited.
When the Final Approach Fix (FAF) is the active waypoint in a GPS SBAS approach using vertical guidance,
a Low Altitude Annunciation may appear if the current aircraft altitude is at least 164 feet below the prescribed
altitude at the FAF. A black-on-yellow ‘LOW ALT’ annunciation appears to the top left of the Altimeter, fl ashing
for several seconds then remaining displayed until the condition is resolved.

Altimeter
minimum deScent Altitude/ deciSion height Alerting
For altitude awareness, a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision Height (DH), based on
barometric or temperature compensated altitude can be set. When active, the altitude setting is displayed
to the bottom left of the Altimeter. Once the altitude is within the range of the tape, a bug appears at the
reference altitude on the Altimeter. The following visual annunciations occur when approaching the
MDA/DH:
• When the aircraft altitude descends to within 2500 feet of the MDA/DH setting, the ‘BARO MIN’ or ‘TEMP
COMP’ box appears with the altitude in light blue text (or magenta for TEMP COMP). The bug appears on
the altitude tape in light blue (or magenta for TEMP COMP) once in range.
• When the aircraft passes through 100 feet of the MDA/DH, the bug and text turn white.
• Once the aircraft reaches the MDA/DH, the bug and text turn yellow and the aural alert, “Minimums
Minimums”, is heard.
