Rather than adjusting the measured altitude (displayed as uncompensated barometric altitude on the
altimeter), temperature compensation is applied to each published approach waypoint altitude shown in the
active flight plan. This includes approach waypoints in the initial, intermediate, final, and missed approach
segments. When the altimeter reaches the barometric altitude displayed in the active flight plan for the
waypoint, this geopotential altitude is the original published MSL altitude for the waypoint.
Only published approach waypoint altitudes shown on the active flight plan are temperature
compensated. No altitude outside a published approach procedure, no user entered altitude, and
no altitude shown as a flight level is temperature compensated.
Temperature compensation of published waypoint altitudes on the active flight plan page is not
dependent on use of barometric altitude for vertical guidance on the final approach segment, and is
therefore available for any type of approach. Use of temperature compensation to adjust the vertical
deviation along the final approach segment and display of temperature compensated waypoint altitudes
on the active flight plan page are two separate features. Enabling the display of temperature
compensated altitudes on the active flight plan page for published approach waypoints is independent
of using temperature compensated altitude to compute vertical deviation along the final approach
segment.
