Hazard Avoidance

TERRAIN ALERTS

Terrain, Obstacle, and Descent Rate Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within the software algorithms. Terrain alerts typically employ a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity level, or both. When an alert is issued, visual annunciations are displayed and aural alerts are simultaneously issued. When the aircraft descends through 500 feet above the destination airport an audible “Five Hundred” altitude reminder occurs.

If the Terrain Page is not displayed, a pop-up alert appears in the lower left corner of the page. The Range Rings on the pop-up alert are spaced every whole mile/kilometer/ nautical mile. Press the CLR Key to acknowledge the pop-up and/or aural alert.

Enabling/Disabling terrain alerts:

From the Terrain Page, press the DISABLE Softkey.

Or:

1)From the Terrain Page, press the MENU Key to access the Page Menu.

2)Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘Disable Alerts’ or ‘Enable Alerts’ and press the ENT Key. Disabling terrain alerts is only temporary. Terrain alerts are automatically enabled when the unit is powered on.

AURAL ALERTS

“Five Hundred”—when the aircraft descends through 500 feet above the destina- tion airport.

The following aural terrain alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within the software algorithms, and are dependant on the sensitivity level set in the Terrain Setup Menu.
