Taws Symbols; Taws Alerts - Garmin G1000 Pilot's Manual

HAZARD AVOIDANCE

TAWS SYMBOLS

The symbols and colors in Figure 6-52 and Table 6-7 are used to represent obstacles and potential impact
points on the TAWS Page. TAWS uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain information relative
to aircraft altitude.
��������
Each color is associated with an alert severity level. Terrain graphics and visual annunciations also use these
color assignments.
Unlighted Obstacle
< 1000'

Note that if an obstacle and the projected flight path of the aircraft intersect, the display automatically
zooms in to the closest potential point of impact on the TAWS Page.

TAWS ALERTS

Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within TAWS software algorithms.
TAWS alerts typically employ either a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity level, or both. When an alert is
issued, visual annunciations are displayed. Aural alerts are simultaneously issued.
