Temperature CompensationofApproachMinimums
To enable temperature compensation of the minimum altitude, a new option, “TEMP COMP”, has been
added when selecting the minimum altitude reference type (in addition to “OFF”, “BARO”, and “RAD ALT”).
The temperature at the destination airport is used for this purpose. The compensated value is displayed
below the entered, uncompensated value (Figure 28). If a temperature has been entered for
compensating waypoint altitudes on the active flight plan page, it is used as the default here, and
vice-versa. Similar functionality exists in the minimums selection field on the approach selection pages
(Figure 29).
The temperature at the destination airport is invalidated when a different approach is loaded into the active
flight plan or when the system powers up. This disables temperature compensation of both the published
approach waypoint altitudes on the active flight plan page and the minimum altitude. The minimum altitude
selection type changes to “BARO” if it was previously set to “TEMP COMP”. Temperature compensation of
the minimum altitude is not dependent on use of barometric altitude for vertical guidance on the FAS, and is
therefore available for any type of approach; in fact, only the destination airport and temperature are
required. Compensating the approach minimums bug simply determines where the minimums reference
is displayed on the altimeter. No adjustment to the barometric altitude is made as a result of temperature
compensating the minimums reference.
