TERRAIN SETTINGS

Use the terrain settings to set levels for terrain alerts as well as obstacles in
or near your flight path.
• Caution Elevation—The G300 will provide an alert if the terrain or obstacle is
within the default Caution Elevation or user-defined Caution Elevation.
• Look Ahead Time—Determines the maximum time when an alert annunciation
occurs. For example, if 120 seconds is selected, the G300 provides an alert up
to 120 seconds before you reach the terrain or obstacle.
• Alert Sensitivity—The three Alert Sensitivity settings (Terrain, Obstacle, and
Descent Rate) determine what level of alerts are annunciated. The G300
defaults to 'High' sensitivity, which annunciates all red and yellow alerts at
the time set in Look Ahead Time. 'Medium' sensitivity annunciates all of
the red and the highest priority of yellow alerts. 'Low' only annunciates red
alerts. 'Off' disables the alert.
