"FIVE-HUNDRED" AURAL ALERT
The purpose of the aural alert message "Five-Hundred" is to provide an advisory alert to the pilot that the airplane is
500 feet above terrain. When the airplane 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.
TAWS NOT AVAILABLE ALERT
TAWS requires a 3-D GPS navigation solution along with specific vertical accuracy minimums. Should the
navigation solution become degraded or if the airplane is out of the database coverage area, the annunciation
"TAWS N/A" is generated in the annunciation window and on the TAWS Page. The aural message "TAWS Not
Available" is generated. When the GPS signal is re-established and the airplane is within the database coverage
area, the aural message "TAWS Available" is generated.
TAWS Inhibit
TAWS also has an inhibit mode that deactivates the PDA/FLTA aural and visual alerts. Pilots should use discretion
when inhibiting TAWS and always remember to enable the system when appropriate. Only the PDA and FLTA
alerts are disabled in the inhibit mode.
