HAZARD AVOIDANCE
TAWS INHIBIT
TAWS also has an inhibit mode that deactivates the PDA/FLTA aural and visual alerts. Pilots should use
discretion when inhibiting TAWS and always remember to enable the system when appropriate. Only the
PDA and FLTA alerts are disabled in the inhibit mode. For more information, see the section on TAWS
alerts.
Inhibiting and enabling TAWS:
1) Select the TAWS Page.
2) Press the MENU Key. ‘Inhibit TAWS’ or ‘Enable TAWS’ is highlighted.
3) Press the ENT Key. The TAWS system is inhibited or enabled, depending on the previous status. The annunciation
is displayed in the terrain annunciator field whenever terrain is inhibited.
TAWS MANUAL TEST
NOTE: TAWS System Testing is disabled when ground speed exceeds 30 knots in order not to impede TAWS
alerting.
TAWS provides a manual test capability which verifies the proper operation of the aural and visual
annunciations of the system prior to a flight.
Manually testing the TAWS System:
1) Select the TAWS Page and press the MENU Key.
2) Select the ‘Test TAWS’ option.
3) Press the ENT Key to confirm the selection.
One of the following aural messages is generated:
• “TAWS System Test, OK”
• “TAWS System Failure”
TAWS TEST is annunciated in yellow on the TAWS Page and in white on the PFD.
