Model G58
When the TAWS Page is not displayed and
a terrain or obstacle caution is issued, a
pop-up window is displayed in the lower
right corner of the MFD displaying an
appropriate annunciator. See Section 7,
SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION.
Pilots are authorized to deviate from their
current air traffic control (ATC) clearance to
the extent necessary to comply with a
TAWS caution.
The following procedure should be followed if any of the pre-
ceding cautions occur.
1. Stop descending, or climb, and/or turn as necessary,
based on analysis of all available instruments and visual
observations, in order to cancel the alert. (The voice
caution alert will be repeated until the threat no longer
exists.)
2. Advise Air Traffic Control as necessary.

EXCESSIVE DESCENT RATE CAUTION [TERRAIN]

Voice Caution Alert: "Sink Rate"
Excessive Descent Rate (EDR) Caution - A Voice caution alert
and annunciator are provided if the airplane is below 5,000 feet
and approaching the terrain at an excessive rate of descent in
relation to the altitude above the terrain. The cautions will be
provided whether or not the TAWS system is enabled. A yellow
[TERRAIN] will be displayed on the PFD and the MFD TAWS
page, if selected, and the voice caution alert "SINK RATE" will
be heard. If corrective action is not taken, an EDR warning will
follow the caution. See Section 3, EMERGENCY PROCE-
DURES.
