BendixKing KGP 860 - Manual (Page 6)

Rev 5 Jul/2004 KGP 560/860 Pilot's Guide
Introduction
2
Use of a terrain display is optional, but recommended in order to
enhance full situational awareness. If a terrain display is not installed in
the system, all alerts and warnings are still present.
This Pilot’s Guide outlines the basic requirements for system operation
and recommended procedures for use of the KGP 560/860 GA-EGPWS.
This Guide does NOT supersede FAA Approved Data or FAA Flight
Manual Supplements, or FAA Required Procedures. Each pilot should
be thoroughly familiar with his or her aircraft, its systems, and FAA
and/or company requirements for that aircraft as equipped with the KGP
560/860 General Aviation Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System.
WHAT IS THE GA-ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY
WARNING SYSTEM?
The Bendix/King KGP 560/860 GA-EGPWS is a small lightweight com-
puter that can be installed in most single- and multi-engine piston aircraft,
small turboprop aircraft and other aircraft in which a Terrain Avoidance &
Warning System is applicable. Additional interface capability with the
KGP 860 allows the system to be installed in larger corporate and busi-
ness aircraft.
The KGP 560/860 computer is compact and rugged, and can be
mounted in any number of orientations to meet the requirements of the
aircraft and space limitations. The computer weighs less than 1.5
pounds.
The system uses information from an existing GPS (already in the air-
craft) or internal GPS receiver contained in the KGP 560/860 computer.
The only other required input is uncorrected barometric pressure from
the aircraft’s transponder or altitude reporting/encoding device. An addi-
tional input of Outside Air Temperature (OAT) is optional. See section
on Aircraft Altitude.
The system can also accept inputs from various digital air data com-
puters, when such equipment is available on an aircraft. The terrain
database, obstacle database, runway database and alerting/warning
functionality are contained in the KGP 560/860 computer, and require no
pilot action for system operation.
Outputs generated by the system are:
* Terrain / Obstacle Display
* Voice alerts / Warnings / Call-outs
* Visual alerts / Warnings
