Flight Into Terrain Alert

Flight Into Terrain (FIT) alerts occur when the aircraft is too low with

respect to terrain based on landing gear status, flap position, and groundspeed.

FIT caution alerts are issued when flight conditions meet the criteria shown

* Flap position will not trigger alert if Flap Override option is enabled; see discussion below.

Figure 10-40 Flight Into Terrain Caution Alert Criteria

To reduce nuisance FIT alerts on approaches where flap extension is not

desired (or is intentionally delayed), the pilot may override FIT alerting based

on the flap position, while all other FIT alerting remains in effect.
