TheSUA Alarms Page provides an altitude buffer which is used to define at whatvertical distance from an SUA the messages (alerts) will be displayed. Forexample, if you enter 500 feet and are flying above Class B airspace, the GPS95 will provide SUA messages when you are less than 500 feet vertically(plus the current position error) from the Class B ceiling.CAUTION: If you fly above or below an SUA, then enter the SUA, the “InsideSUA” message may be the only message provided! The “SUA Ahead”and/or “SUA Near” messages will not occur if you are outside the verticallimits defined by the airspace floor/ceiling plus the altitude buffer setting.Some SUA altitude limits may be charted in terms of altitude above groundlevel (AGL). If the actual lower limit of an SUA is charted in terms of AGL,then the GPS 95 will alert you at any altitude below the upper limit. However,if the actual upper limit is also charted as an AGL altitude, the GPS 95 willprovide the alert at all altitudes.
