HAZARD AVOIDANCE
DISPLAYING TAWS DATA
TAWS uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain and obstacles (with heights greater than 200
feet above ground level, AGL) alerts relative to aircraft altitude. Colors are adjusted automatically as the aircraft
altitude changes. The colors and symbols in Figure 6-44 and Table 6-4 are used to represent terrain, obstacles,
and potential impact points.
1000 ft

1 00 ft Threshold
Terrain Above Aircraft Altitude
Red terrain is above
or within 100 ft below
the aircraft altitude
Yellow terrain is between 100 ft and 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude
Black terrain is more than 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude

Table 6-4 TAWS Obstacle Colors and Symbology
TAWS information can be displayed on the following maps:
• PFD Inset Map
• Navigation Map Page
• TAWS Page
• Trip Planning Page
• Flight Plan Pages
Displaying terrain and obstacle information (maps other than the TAWS Page):
1) Press the MAP Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, press the INSET Softkey).
2) Press the TERRAIN Softkey to display terrain and obstacle data.
When TAWS is selected on maps other than the TAWS Page, an icon to indicate the feature is enabled for
display and a legend for TAWS terrain colors are shown (Figure 6-51).
The Navigation Map Page Setup Menu provides a means in addition to the softkey for enabling/disabling
display of terrain and obstacles. The setup menu also controls the map range settings above which terrain and
obstacle data are decluttered from the display. If a map range larger than the map range setting is selected, the
data is removed from the map.
