FORWARD LOOKING TERRAIN AVOIDANCE

The Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA) alert is used by TAWS and is composed of:

RTC

AND

ROC

Reduced Required Terrain Clearance (RTC) and Reduced Required Obstacle Clearance (ROC) alerts are

issued when the aircraft flight path is above terrain, yet is projected to come within the minimum clearance
values in Table 6-7. When an RTC alert is issued, a potential impact point is displayed on the TAWS
Page.

ITI

AND

IOI

Imminent Terrain Impact (ITI) and Imminent Obstacle Impact (IOI) alerts are issued when the aircraft

is below the elevation of a terrain or obstacle cell in the aircraft’s projected path. ITI and IOI alerts are
accompanied by a potential impact point displayed on the TAWS Page. The alert is annunciated when the
projected vertical flight path is calculated to come within minimum clearance altitudes in Table 6-7.

Table 6-7 Minimum Terrain and Obstacle Clearance Values for FLTA Alerts

During the final approach phase of flight, FLTA alerts are automatically inhibited when the aircraft is

below 200 feet AGL while within 0.5 nm of the approach runway or below 125 feet AGL while within 1.0
nm of the runway threshold.
