Altitude BufferThe ‘ALT BUF’ field, located directly below the SUAalarm settings, is an altitude buffer that allows you to seta specific altitude range for triggering SUA alerts. Thishelps add an extra margin of safety to your estimated alti-tude error to ensure you receive SUA messages in time toavoid unwanted SUA intrusions. The default altitudebuffer setting is 200 feet.The value of the altitude buffer is added to an esti-mated altitude error calculated by the GPS 92. This valueis then added or subtracted from your present GPS alti-tude. If the final adjusted altitude falls within an SUA,you’ll receive a message. If the adjusted altitude does notplace you in an SUA, you won’t receive the message.To enter an altitude buffer:1. Highlight the ‘ALT BUF’ field and press E.2. Enter a buffer value and press E.NOTE: If you fly above or below an airspace, thendescend or climb to enter the airspace, the ‘InsideAirspace’ message may be the only alert provided!
