5.22 Use of Altitude Selector
Setting theALTITUDE SELECTOR shall follow the procedure below:
When receiving a clearance, the PF/ PM shall set the altitude on theindicator and then call for eg.
“4.000 feet set.”
The PF/PM shall verify that the setting iscorrect and call
“check
,” the PM shall then
transmit to ATC the level set onthe indicator.
1.
Autopilot engaged, PF makes changes to Altitude Selector.
2.
Autopilot not engaged (hand flying) PM sets Altitude Selector.
3.
Missed approach altitude shall be set upon intercepting the glide slope on anILS
approach.
4.
For Non Precision approaches set minimums upon leaving the FAF. Onceinitiating the
missed approach, crew shall set the missed approach altitude.
5.
Where no FAF exists,crew shall set minimums upon leaving the last level segment.
When within 1.000 feet of the selected altitude the altitude alerter will give an audiblewarning that
there is 1.000 feet to go to which the PM shall respond
“passing altitude, descending/climbing to
assigned altitude
.”
If the altitude alerter
failsor is unserviceable
, it is the PM’s responsibility to alert the PF whenever
thereis 1.000 feet to go, by calling
“passingaltitude, descending/climbing to assigned altitude
.”
The example of the altitude callout would be:
“Passing Four Thousand climbing Five Thousand” or
“Passing Eight Thousand descending Seven Thousand”
Where ATC issue a climb or descent which is less than 1.000 feet from currentlevel the PF shall use
the same call using actual altitudes.
It is vital that crews anticipate the 1000 ft altitude alert and do not blindlyrely on the Altitude
Selector aural alert for maintaining situationalawareness.
