visual alerts. Pilots should use discretion when inhibiting TAWS and always
remember to enable the system when appropriate. Only the PDA and FLTA

Five-Hundred Aural Alert

The purpose of the aural alert message "Five-hundred" is to provide an advisory
alert that the aircraft is 500 feet above terrain. When the aircraft descends within
500 feet of terrain, the aural message "Five-hundred" is generated. There are no
display annunciations or pop-up alerts that accompany the aural message.
NOTE: The five-hundred aural callout provided by TAWS-B is not in relation
to the optional radar altimeter, if installed.
