Hi,
A newbie question..... I don't understand how to get the correct information to set up the minimums on the EFIS panel with Radio or Barometric.
It is the turning knob in the upper left corner of the captains EFIS panel

Usually between 50 and 200 but I don't understand what it means and where to obtain the correct value

You need to check the charts for the facility you're arriving at. Take a look at the video below; I go over the minimums for the approach into Vancouver (CYVR).

Thanks alot

 

Is it the same number if I choose Radio instead of Baro?

As I understand it (I could be wrong) I should use Radio and not Baro for Cat 3 Autolanding?

 

Thanks again for a good video!

In the minimums table, you will typically see a series of numbers like this:

 

S-ILS 24R |    320/18  200 (200-1/2)

 

This is interpreted as 320 feet MSL / 1800' Runway Visual Range,  200 feet AGL,  (requires measured ceiling 200 feet - 1/2 mile visibility or better).

 

Since Baro = MSL and Radio = AGL,  Baro would be 320 and Radio would be 200 on the EFIS.  You would use the radio altitude for Cat II and III approaches.

Great! Thanks for the explanations. This helps me alot
