3.10 Category 8 – Radio Altitude Input Select
Category 8 defines the Radio Altitude and Decision Height interface.
3.10.1 Radio Altitu de Input
Appendix E Table 5.3.8 defines the Radio Altitude Types and identifies the first MK VI/MK VIII EGPWS version
in which the option was available (see Effectivity entry).
Appendix E Tables 5.3.8-x, where x is the Radio Altitude Type number, define the format and electrical
interfaces required to support each Radio Altitude Type.
3.10.2 Decision H eight Discrete Input
The Decision Height discrete (J1-33, Category 8) indicates to the MK VI/MK VIII EGPWC whether the aircraft is
above or below the selected Decision Height.
This discrete is typically connected to the Decision Height output on the Radio Altimeter indicator. If the
‘Minimums-Minimums’ callout is not wanted the Decision Height discrete should be left open.
