G1000 approach flight plan question

With a G1000, when you have an approach activated and go to the Flight Plan page, it lists an altitude after the MAP and the Missed Approach hold waypoint. What does this Alt. indicate? It is not the MDA as one would expect.

    Mark,

    It indicates the altitude for the initial pull up and is usually 400 AGL or the minimum altitude to be used prior to making any turns.
