MK XXII EGPWS Installation Manual

3.3.13.9 Terrain Awareness Inhibit

The Terrain Awareness inhibit discrete, inhibits the Terrain Awareness modes in the MK XXII EGPWS.

This discrete is typically connected to an “alternate action switch” in the cockpit. The recommended label for this switch is “Terrain Override” although labeling for this switch should be consistent with existing cockpit nomenclature.

“Terrain Inhibited” will be annunciated during cockpit Self-Test if these functions are inhibited.

3.3.13.10 Self Test Discrete

The cockpit Self Test discrete is provided to manually initiate test of the EGPWC, EGPWS aircraft interface, and to annunciate system configuration and status information. This discrete is typically supplied by a momentary action cockpit ‘push to test’ switch, typically part of the GPWS WARN Lamp assembly.

This discrete must be momentarily connected to ground to activate the Self Test. Activation of this discrete continuously for more than 60 seconds will result in the ‘Self Test Invalid’ fault which will cause a GPWS INOP indication.

3.3.13.11 Glideslope Inhibit Discrete

The Glideslope Inhibit Discrete, also known as the Backcourse Inhibit, provides an inhibit to the Glideslope alert when on a backcourse approach.

The Glideslope Inhibit is usually connected to the Flight Director or FMS backcourse discrete output.
