KMD 550/850 Terrain Addendum

Rev 3 Jun/2004

INTRODUCTION

The Terrain Function of the Bendix/King KMD 550/850 Multi Function
Display allows for the display and control of several models of
Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS).
EGPWS provides terrain display, situational awareness, terrain alerting
and warning, and obstacle alerting and warning to the pilot. It is intended
to give advanced alerting and warning to the pilot to help reduce the
possibility of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT).

This Pilot’s Guide Addendum describes the operation of the KMD
550/850 display for controlling the EGPWS sensor. The detailed descrip-
tion of the general operation of the KMD 550/850 is contained in the
other sections of the KMD 550/850 Pilot’s Guide. For detailed informa-
tion on the proper use and interpretation of the displayed EGPWS data
please reference the pilot’s guide that is provided with the EGPWS
sensor.

The Bendix/King KMD 550/850 is shown below with the Terrain Page
selected.
