Navigation Page.

Figure 11-3 Target Altitude Selected

4) Turn the small right knob to select “Above

Wpt” (AGL) or “MSL” and press the ENT Key.

“Above Wpt” uses the altitude of a destination

airport as stored on the Jeppesen NavData

card. “MSL” lets you set a speciﬁc target

altitude for any waypoint category: airport,

VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint.

5) Turn the small and large right knobs to select

a distance from the target reference waypoint

and press the ENT Key. If the target altitude

should occur at the target reference waypoint,

enter a distance of zero.

6) Turn the small right knob to select “Before”

or “After” (Figure 11-4), and press the ENT

Key. This setting designates whether the offset

distance deﬁnes a point before you reach the

target reference waypoint or after you reach

the waypoint.

7) When using a ﬂight plan, the target reference

waypoint itself can be specified from the

waypoints contained in the ﬂight plan. By

default, the last waypoint in the ﬂight plan is

selected. To select a different waypoint, turn

the small right knob to select the desired

waypoint and press the ENT Key.

8) The default proﬁle utilizes a 400 foot-per-

minute descent rate. To change the rate, turn

the large right knob to highlight the “VS

Proﬁle” ﬁeld and use the small and large right

knobs to enter a new rate. Press the ENT Key

when ﬁnished.
