Related EGPWS System Operation

Some installations may have a DATA--NAV (navigation display, and/or checklist), lightning sensor system (LSS), and/or traffic alert and crew alerting system (TCAS) that already share the radar indicator’s display by way of the Universal Digital Interface (UDI) connector. These systems have priority for access to the radar display screen. These systems data may be overlaid on the EGPWS display, or they may simply override the EGPWS display.

EGPWS Operation

The EGPWS system may vary, depending on the installed controls and software level of the EGPWS computer.

In some installations, the EGPWS display on the radar indicator is manually operated. It is only displayed if the pilot pushes the ON button, and it is removed if the pilot pushes the ON button a second time.

In some installations, the EGPWS display has a pop--upmode in which the terrain display is automatically displayed when the EGPWS system detects a terrain alert situation.

The pilot can remove the ground display from the radar indicator, or prevent the EGPWS system from displaying ground on the radar indicator by pushing the INHIB button.

The ↑ and ↓ range buttons on the radar indicator control the range of the ground display. The radar indicator AZ button is active, and can display or remove azimuth buttons. The other radar controls do not change the ground display, but if they are used while EGPWS is displayed, they control the radar RTA and the effects of any changes are seen when the radar image is re--displayed.

For additional information, refer to the appropriate EGPWS operating manual.
