When both gear and flaps are in the up position when the aircraft passes

BANK ANGLE ALERT (KGP 860 ONLY)

The KGP 860 will provide excessive Bank Angle alerting (when config-
ured during installation). The bank angle feature provides protection for
over-banking during maneuvering on approach or climb-out and while at
altitude. In addition, it protects against wing or engine strikes close to the
runway.

The aural call-out “Bank Angle, Bank Angle” is given when the aircraft
exceeds the roll angle as shown in the following illustration. Follow-on
aural messages are given when the aircraft roll angle increases an addi-
tional 20% from the previous alert.

The bank angle call-out is based on the aircraft’s roll angle versus
Computed Terrain Clearance. Bank Angle alerting for the KGP 860 is
shown in the following figure. The Bank Angle alert is triggered when the
aircraft banks greater than 40 degrees from 50 to 150 feet AGL The
alert value limit then varies linearly form 40 degrees at 150 feet AGL to
where the roll angle limit is 50 degrees at 1600 feet AGL and above.
