EXAMPLE FLIGHT
To demonstrate the use of the terrain page we will look at a sample flight
from McElroy Airport (20V) to KGNB in Colorado. This flight goes down a
mountain pass with high terrain on both sides.
Prior to take off the EGPWS can be tested by putting it into self test
which is can be done by a remote mounted TEST switch for the
EGPWS, or by putting the Outer Rotary Knob into the TST position (if
available). The TEST CONT. softkey can be used to initiate deeper
levels of self-test as available.
During EGPWS self test the following Test Pattern should be displayed
on the KMD 550/850 Terrain Page.
Once self test is completed the EGPWS will be acquiring a GPS position.
This may take several minutes and during this time the display will show
a display similar to the following:
