4.4.5Using TAWS

During G600 power-up, the terrain/obstacle database versions are displayed along with a disclaimer to the pilot. At the same time, TAWS self-test begins. One of the following aural messages is generated:

“TAWS System Test OK”

“TAWS System Failure”

TAWS information can be displayed on the MFD in the TAWS page of the MAP page group. Terrain and obstacles with heights greater than 200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) are displayed in yellow and red. The G600 adjusts colors automatically as the aircraft altitude changes.
