13. Terrain Awareness and
Warning System (TAWS) View
INTRODUCTION
The TAWS view displays enhanced ground proximity warning systems
(EGPWS) displays. EGPWS gives 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).
NOTE: This section does not supersede FAA--approved data, FAA
flight manual supplements, or FAA required procedures. In
addition, this guide is not intended to give all the details of
proper usage and interpretation of EGPWS information.
Reference the pilot’s guide that is given with the EGPWS
sensor for more information.
TAWS OVERVIEW
The TAWS view is different from the terrain view as the TAWS view
uses an external TAWS sensor and the terrain view uses an internal
terrain database. TAWS is an optional feature and requires an external
TAWS sensor and optional interface circuit card. The KSN 765/770
supports the display and control of the following external TAWS
sensors:
D
BendixKing KGP 560/860 General Aviation EGPWS

BendixKing KMH 880/980 Multi--Hazard Awareness System

Honeywell MK--VI/MK--VIII EGPWS.
