Terrain System Self-Test

During power-up of the GDU 620, the terrain/obstacle database versions are
displayed along with a disclaimer. At the same time, the Terrain system self-test
begins. A failure message is issued if the terrain test fails (a message will not be
issued for Terrain Proximity).

* SVT Terrain/Obstacle shading is only available when SVT is enabled and displayed.
** If the Garmin GPS/TAWS is not available, the G500/G600 Terrain-SVT will generate PFD annunciator
text and aural callouts. An advisory message will indicate when reversion to Terrain-SVT alerting has
occurred.
*** GTN v5.10 and later with GDU v7.00 and later.
GNS/GTN TAWS may be provided by a GNS 500WT-series or GTN-series
navigator with TAWS. The GNS/GTN TAWS must be interfaced to the G500/
G600 as GPS 1.
Each of the terrain awareness configurations are detailed in the following
sub-sections.
