TAWS ANNUNCIATIONS

Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) annunciations appear on the PFD to the upper left of the

Altimeter (also where the marker beacon annunciations appear). Refer to the Hazard Avoidance section and
Appendix A for information on TAWS alerts and annunciations.

ALTITUDE ALERTING

The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with visual and aural alerts when approaching the Selected

Altitude. Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset. The Altitude Alerter is
independent of the installed AFCS. The following occur when approaching the Selected Altitude:

• Upon passing through 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter)

changes to black text on a light blue background, flashes for five seconds, and an aural tone is generated.

• When the aircraft passes within 200 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude changes to light blue

text on a black background, flashes for five seconds, and an aural tone is generated.

• After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band (±200 feet of the Selected

Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text on a black background, flashes for five seconds, and an
aural tone is generated.
