ALTITUDE could just mean you've strayed plus or minus whatever tolerance away from an assigned barometric altitude.
Barometric altitude bug: when the a/c descends below the preset altitude you get a "
MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS" aural alert. I suppose that makes sense as the
minimums used for normal instrument approaches are
altitudes (DA, MDA).
When the a/c descends below the
RADALT bug, you get an "
ALTITUDE, ALTITUDE" aural alert.
Yes even though it's a
height it is referring to; I suppose an alert "Height, Height" doesn't do as well phonetically!
