Figure 2-41 Barometric MDA/DH
Alerting is inhibited while the aircraft is on the ground and until the aircraft reaches 150 feet above the MDA.
If the aircraft proceeds to climb after having reached the MDA, once it reaches 50 feet above the MDA, alerting
is disabled.
RADAR ALTIMETER
If an optional radar altimeter is installed, when the radar height (the aircraft altitude above ground level
detected by the radar altimeter) is between zero and 2500 feet, the current value is displayed in green to the
right of the current aircraft heading (Figure 2-42). Display of radar height becomes more sensitive as the height
above ground decreases (Table 2-3).
