• Maximum / minimum altitude alert (sounds an alarm when
exceeded)
• Maximum / ascending, maximum descending speeds
• Current vertical speed
• Rate of altitude change
The altitude is shown it two ways, as a numeric value indicating
your current altitude, and as a bar chart indicating changes in
altitude. Both values will change as you move about.
NOTE
In ALTI-BARO Mode, the current altitude is always
displayed in larger font, in every screen except the sea pressure-
setting screen.
