DISPLAYING TAWS DATA

TAWS uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain and obstacles (with heights greater than 200

feet above ground level, AGL) alerts relative to aircraft altitude. Colors are adjusted automatically as the aircraft
altitude changes. The colors and symbols in Figure 6-51 and Table 6-5 are used to represent terrain, obstacles,
and potential impact points.

WARNING: Red obstacle is above or within
100’ below current aircraft altitude

CAUTION: Yellow obstacle is between 100’
and 1000’ below current aircraft altitude

Table 6-5 TAWS Obstacle Colors and Symbology

TAWS information can be displayed on the following maps:

• PFD Inset Map

• Navigation Map Page

• TAWS Page

• Trip Planning Page

• Flight Plan Pages

Displaying terrain and obstacle information (maps other than the TAWS Page):

1)

Press the MAP Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, press the INSET Softkey).

2)

Press the TERRAIN Softkey to display terrain and obstacle data.

When TAWS is selected on maps other than the TAWS Page, an icon to indicate the feature is enabled for

display and a legend for TAWS terrain colors are shown (Figure 6-58).

The Navigation Map Page Setup Menu provides a means in addition to the softkey for enabling/disabling

display of terrain and obstacles. The setup menu also controls the map range settings above which terrain and
obstacle data are decluttered from the display. If a map range larger than the map range setting is selected, the
data is removed from the map.
