6.1.

Syncing  the  altimeter  

Sync  the  altimeter  as  part  of  pre-­‐takeoff  
checklist!  

The  autopilot  has  a  built  in  altimeter  that  must  be  synced  to  the  

aircraft  altimeter  for  proper  operation  of  the  altitude  select  and  pre-­‐
select  modes.      

This   is   accessed   by   pressing   the   ALT   button   twice   from   the  

normal   operating   home   screen   (not   in   a   setup   mode,   or   in   the  
altitude  select  setup  screen).    The  first  press  of  the  ALT  button  is  the  
altitude   select   setup   screen,   the   second   press   is   the   altimeter   sync  
setup  screen.      

Rotate   the   KNOB   to   set   the   altimeter   to   the   aircraft   altimeter  

reading,   in   feet,   and   then   press   the   KNOB.     Each   time   the   power   is  

cycled   on   the   autopilot,   the   altimeter   will   return   to   an   equivalent  
baro   setting   of   29.92.     When   the   autopilot   is   disengaged,   the  
transition  to  altimeter  sync  setup  screen  is  shown  in  Figure  6.1a.
