SYSTEM STATUS
During power-up, TERRAIN-SVS conducts a self-test of its aural and visual annunciations. An aural alert is
issued at test completion.

System Test in Progress TERRAIN TEST None
System Test Pass None None “Terrain System Test OK”
Terrain System Test Fail TERRAIN FAIL “Terrain System Failure”
Table 6-9 TERRAIN-SVS System Test Status Annunciations
TERRAIN-SVS continually monitors several system-critical items such as database validity, hardware status,
and GPS status. If the terrain/obstacle database is not available, the aural message “Terrain System Failure”
is generated along with the ‘TER FAIL’ alert annunciation.
TERRAIN-SVS requires a 3-D GPS navigation solution along with specific vertical accuracy minimums.
Should the navigation solution become degraded or if the aircraft is out of the database coverage area, the
annunciation ‘TER N/A’ is generated in the annunciation window and on the TERRAIN-SVS Page. The aural
message “Terrain System Not Available” is generated. When the GPS signal is re-established and the aircraft
is within the database coverage area, the aural message “Terrain System Available” is generated.
