Alerting is inhibited while the aircraft is on the ground and until the aircraft
reaches 150 feet above the selected Minimum Altitude. Normally the altitude
alerter only allows selection of altitudes in 100 foot increments. When a value
other than 100 feet is set for Baro Mins, it becomes a selectable value in the
altitude alerter.
In dual installations, the minimums alerting altitude value may be set from
either GDU 620 and will be synchronized on both units.
Details on using a Radar Altimeter as the source for setting minimums is in
Section 2 - PFD - Radar Altimeter.
