TAWS/TERRAIN
TAWS
Garmin' s Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS)
satisfies TSO-C151b Class B requirements for certifica-
tion. Class B TAWS is required for all Part 91 aircraft
operations with 6 or more seats and for Part 135 turbine
aircraft operations with 6 to 9 passenger seats (FAR Parts
91.223, 135.154). Garmin TAWS greatly increases situ-
ational awareness and aids in reducing accidental Con-
trolled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT).

rain features.

In order to operate properly, the Garmin TAWS/Terrain
system requires a valid 3D GPS position solution and a
valid terrain/airport terrain/obstacle database.
CAUTION: It is always the ultimate responsibility
of the crew to navigate safely throughout the
course of flight. Garmin TAWS is designed to be
an aid to situational awareness, not to be relied
on as a primary source of terrain and obstacle
avoidance.
