3.15.1.3 Audio Inhib it Discrete

The Audio Inhibit discrete is an optional input but is strongly recommended to maintain audio and visual
prioritization. When activated, this discrete inhibits all audio (Ground Proximity and Terrain Awareness).
Activation of the Audio Inhibit input for more than 60 seconds will result in the “All Modes Inhibit” fault.

The Audio Inhibit discrete input can be connected to any or all of the following (as applicable to the aircraft
configuration):

-

the Stall Warning computers (this is required for CAA-registered aircraft)

-

the Predictive Windshear (PWS) Audio Inhibit output discrete

-

a separately labeled guarded cockpit switch

-

the reactive Windshear system if separate from the EGPWS.

For some existing GPWS installations, this discrete may have been tied to the analog Radio Altimeter Receiver-
Transmitter Self-Test output. This connection is no longer required but may be left intact for retrofit installations.

3.15.1.4 Landing Ge ar Discrete

Landing Gear discrete is supplied by the Gear (or Gear handle) switch. The active position (+28V or GND)
indicates “Gear Down” and should be connected to a contact that will indicate Gear Down when the Gear are
lowered prior to 500 feet Radio altitude.

For Fixed Gear aircraft the Audio Menu in Category 5 should be ID 2 or 3 and one of the following Gear Discrete
arrangements should be used to simulate Gear Down to the EGPWS.
