HAZARD AVOIDANCE
USING TAWS
TAWS information can be displayed on the following pages:
• TAWS Page • AUX - Trip Planning Page
• Navigation Map • Flight Plan Pages (except VNAV)
• PFD Inset Map
To display TAWS data on any page other than the TAWS Page, press the MAP Softkey, then press the TERRAIN
Softkey. Obstacles with heights greater than 200 feet above ground level (AGL) are displayed in three color
levels (Table 6-9). The G1000 adjusts colors automatically as the aircraft altitude changes.
During G1000 power-up, the terrain/obstacle database versions are displayed along with a disclaimer to the
pilot. At the same time, TAWS self-test begins. One of the following aural messages is generated:
• “TAWS System Test OK”
• “TAWS System Failure”
TAWS PAGE
The TAWS Page is in the MAP group of pages and displays the following:
• GPS-derived MSL altitude in increments of 20 feet or 10 meters, depending on unit configuration
• Aircraft ground track
• Terrain Range - Indicates the terrain elevation in colors relative to the aircraft altitude
• Range marking rings (1 nm, 1 and 2 nm, 2.5 and 5 nm, 5 and 10 nm, 12.5 and 25 nm, 25 and 50 nm, 50
and 100 nm, 100 and 200 nm)
• Heading Box (North Up, Track Up, DTK Up, HDG Up) - Heading on the TAWS Page displays ‘HDG Up’
map data, unless there is no valid heading
• Obstacles
TAWS can also be displayed on the PFD Inset Map by pressing the INSET Softkey, then the TERRAIN
Softkey. TAWS display may also be deselected from the Inset Map without affecting the display on the MFD
maps.
Displaying the TAWS Page:
1) Select the NAV Page Group.
2) Select the last rectangular page icon.
3) Turn the Joystick clockwise to display a larger area or counter-clockwise to display a smaller area.
