HAZARD AVOIDANCE

TAWS ALERTS

Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within TAWS software algorithms.

TAWS alerts typically employ a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity level, or both. When an alert is issued,
visual annunciations are displayed and aural alerts are simultaneously issued. Table 6-8 shows TAWS alert
types with corresponding annunciations and aural messages.

When an alert is issued, annunciations appear on the PFD and MFD. The TAWS Alert Annunciation is shown

to the upper left of the Altimeter on the PFD and below the Terrain Legend on the MFD. If the TAWS Page is
not displayed at the time, a pop-up alert appears on the MFD. To acknowledge the pop-up alert:

• Press the CLR Key (returns to the currently viewed page), or

• Press the ENT Key (accesses the TAWS Page)
