Displaying Taws Data - Garmin G1000:Socata Pilot's Manual

DISPLAYING TAWS DATA

TAWS uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain and obstacles with heights greater than 200
feet above ground level, AGL. Alerts are given relative to aircraft altitude. Colors are adjusted automatically as
the aircraft altitude changes. The colors and symbols shown in the figure and table below are used to represent
terrain, obstacles, and potential impact points.
