EGPWS Introduction
37
Should the aircraft fly into danger where a conflict with terrain or a known
obstacle is imminent, the system will provide both visual and aural alerts
and warnings to the pilot. The system also provides alerts and warnings
for excessive rates of descent and inadvertent descents or altitude loss
after take-off.
The system provides an aural altitude callout when 500 feet above run-
way elevation during a landing approach, and also monitors altimeter
systems in the aircraft to provide alerts for possible altimeter malfunc-
tions or errors.
Pilot reactions to alerts and warnings differ according to weather condi-
tions, visibility, type of warning, phase of flight and aircraft performance
considerations. Pilots should be thoroughly familiar with FAA, company,
or other approved operational procedures as required by their aircraft
and type of operation. Pilots should train to react properly to GA-
EGPWS alerts and warnings just as one would train to react to an aircraft
stall, engine failure or any other emergency situation.
REGULATORY STANDARDS
The GA-EGPWS satisfies the requirements for Terrain Avoidance &
Warning Systems (TAWS) as defined by FAA TSO C151b, Class B and
C, when installed in aircraft in accordance with approved procedures.
