Audio Altitude Alert
The Audio Altitude Alert allows you to receive an audible signal
when the aircraft approaches the altitude set in the autopilot. The
Audio Altitude Alert is played at a distance from the set altitude. You
define this distance by entering a number in the A/P Audio Altitude
Alert box below. The default value for this distance is 900ft.
To illustrate how the Audio Altitude Alert works, let’s say that you are
cruising at 20.000ft, and starting the descent to land. You have
programmed the autopilot to an altitude of 5000ft, and the distance
set in the A/P Audio Altitude Alert box is kept at the default value of
900ft. In this case, the alert will be given as you pass an altitude of
5900ft. If you are climbing from takeoff, however, and have the
autopilot set to 20.000 ft, the alert will be given as you pass
19.100ft.
Note! While the other GPWS calls are voice recordings, the Audio
Altitude Alert is a beep.
