NEGATIVE CLIMB RATE (NCR) AFTER TAKEOFF ALERT

The NCR alert is active only during the takeoff phase of flight
and is designed to alert the pilot that the airplane is loosing alti-
tude. If the system detects an altitude loss in excess of the pre-
determined allowable limits, the following voice alert and
annunciators are provided. The alert and annunciators are
functional regardless of gear position.

TERRAIN
The NCR alert feature is cancelled when one or more of the
following conditions are met:
1. The height above the terrain exceeds 700 feet.
2. The distance from the departure airport exceeds 2 nm.
3. The heading is 110° or more from the takeoff heading.

"FIVE-HUNDRED" VOICE ALERT

This alert is provided during a descent when the airplane
reaches 500 feet above the terrain. There are no associated
annunciators. The alert is enabled during the climb when the
airplane's altitude exceeds 675 feet AGL and is disabled after
the alert is provided at 500 feet AGL during a descent.

GEOMETRIC ALTITUDE DISPLAY

This is the airplanes altitude above Mean Sea Level and is cal-
culated by the TAWS-B system using GPS altitude obtained
from the Garmin GPS system. It is displayed in the upper right
corner of the MFD and labeled GPS ALT. The displayed geo-
metric altitude will often differ from the altitude displayed on the
airplane altimeter. Although small differences between the dis-
played geometric altitude value and the indicated value on the
pilot's altimeter are normal (e.g. ± 100 feet), large differences
