Terrain Configurations

The following terrain awareness configurations and alerting are available in
the G500/G600 system:
• TAWS-B - A system developed to meet the terrain alerting and ground
proximity requirements for Class B TAWS systems as defined in TSO-C151c.
Garmin' s G500/G600 Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS-B) is
an optional feature and is intended to provide the flight crew with both
aural and visual alerts to aid in preventing inadvertent Controlled Flight
Into Terrain (CFIT).
• Terrain-SVT - Refers to a subset of Class B TAWS that will meet the terrain
alerting requirements outlined in Section 7.b of AC 23-26. Terrain-SVT is
a subset of Class B TAWS that provides a Class B TAWS FLTA functionality,
including visual alerting and aural alerting. Terrain-SVT is provided with
the Synthetic Vision functionality and not marketed separately.
NOTE: Terrain-SVT is not a fully functional TAWS and does not meet the
TAWS TSO-C151c.
• Terrain-Proximity - Refers to the display of the relative terrain elevations
on the moving map. No aural or visual alerts of any type are provided by a
Terrain-Proximity configuration.
