EXCESSIVE DESCENT RATE ALERT
The purpose of the

aircraft is determined to be closing (descending) upon terrain at an excessive speed. Figure 6-114 shows the
parameters for the alert as defined by TSO-C151b.

FORWARD LOOKING TERRAIN AVOIDANCE
Reduced Required Terrain Clearance (RTC)
and
Reduced Required Obstacle Clearance (ROC)
alerts are issued when the aircraft flight path is above terrain, yet is projected to come within the minimum
clearance values in Figure 6-115. When an RTC alert is issued, a potential impact point is displayed on the
TAWS-B Page.
Imminent Terrain Impact (ITI)
and
Imminent Obstacle Impact (IOI)
alerts are issued when the
aircraft is below the elevation of a terrain or obstacle cell in the aircraft’s projected path. ITI and IOI alerts
are accompanied by a potential impact point displayed on the TAWS-B Page. The alert is annunciated when
the projected vertical flight path is calculated to come within minimum clearance altitudes in Figure 6-115.
