Temperature Compensated Altitude
Unusable/Invalid Altitude
Altitudes associated with approach procedures are “auto-designated”. This means
the system automatically uses the altitudes loaded with the approach for giving vertical
flight path guidance outside the FAF. Note these altitudes are displayed as light blue text.
Altitudes associated with arrival procedures are “manually-designated”. This means
the system does not use the altitudes loaded with the arrival for giving vertical flight
path guidance until designated to do so by the pilot. Note that these altitudes are
initially displayed as white text. These altitudes may be “designated” by pressing the
desired altitude on the Touchscreen Controller, and pressing the Enter Button. After
designation, the text changes to light blue and displays the pencil icon.
Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical navigation may also be made
“non-designated”. When non-designated, the altitude is displayed only as a reference.
It will not be used to give vertical flight path guidance. Other displayed altitudes may
change due to re-calculations or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an
altitude to a non-designated altitude.

Altitude calculated by the
system estimating the
altitude of the aircraft as it
passes over the navigation
point, or altitude retrieved
from the navigation
database. The altitude is
provided as a reference
and is not designated to
be used in determining
vertical speed and deviation
guidance.
Altitude is designated for
use in giving vertical speed
and deviation guidance.
Altitude does not match
the published altitude in
navigation database or no
published altitude exists.
The pencil icon indicates
manual designation or
manual data entry.
The system cannot use this
altitude in determining
vertical speed and deviation
guidance because of an
invalid constraint condition.
