Radar Altimeter Minimums
When a radar altimeter is installed and configured, the pilot has the option
to select either Radar Altimeter (RAD ALT) or Barometric Altitude (BARO)
Minimums. Radar Altimeter Minimums behave the same (coloring and
operation) as the Barometric Minimums except that Baro Minimums are based
on barometric altitude, while the Radar Altimeter Minimums reflect distance
above the ground. For instance, while the Baro Minimums bug may remain
constant where in the same situation the Radar Altimeter value could move up
and down due to terrain.
