Inhibit Mode

The Garmin TERRAIN system provides an
"inhibit mode". This mode is designed to deactivate
Premature Descent Alert/Forward Looking Terrain
Avoidance (PDA/FLTA) visual alerts when they are
deemed unnecessary by the pilot. Flying VFR into
an area where unique terrain exists could cause the
system to annunciate a nuisance alert. Pilots should
use discretion when inhibiting the TERRAIN system
and always remember to enable the system when
appropriate. When terrain is inhibited, the Terrain
page will still be active, but alerts and messages will
not be generated. See the Terrain Alerts section for
more information on terrain alerts.
TERRAIN configured units will restore the "inhibit
state" at startup to the last pilot-selected setting.
To inhibit TERRAIN:
1. Select the TERRAIN Page and press MENU.
"Inhibit Terrain?" is selected by default.
Press ENT. The TERRAIN system is inhibited.
