VS RATE (Vertical Speed Rate)
This field is the typical vertical speed for climb/descent of the
aircraft. The settable number determines the rate of climb the
GTX 330 assumes as liftoff for starting the flight timer and operational functions. The range is 100 feet
per minute to 9999 feet per minute, and is set to 500 fpm at the factory.
FORMAT (Altitude Format)
This field determines how the pressure altitude is shown on the GTX 330 display.
VFR ID (VFR Transponder Code)
This field is the four-digit code that is selected when the user presses the GTX 330 VFR key. In the United
States, 1200 is the VFR code for any altitude. The default is set to 1200.
ALTITUDE ALERT DEVIATION (Altitude Format)
This field determines the amount of altitude difference from selected altitude to generate an altitude alert
deviation. It is set to 200 feet, the minimum altitude, at the factory.
SQUAT SWITCH
The squat switch field may be set to either YES or NO.
Selecting YES in this field sets the GTX 330 to use the squat
switch to determine lift off. Selecting NO sets the GTX 330
to use Automated Airborne Determination from other sources.
