TERRAIN ALERTS
Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set by the configured
terrain function. Terrain alerts typically employ a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity
level, or both. When an alert is issued, visual annunciations are displayed.
Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA) compares the projected flight path as derived
from GPS data with terrain features and obstacles from the terrain and obstacle databases.
FLTA alerts are issued when the projected flight path conflicts with terrain or obstacles. The
projected flight path is a calculated area ahead of, to the sides, and below the aircraft. The size
of the projected flight path varies based on factors including ground speed (the path ahead is
larger when the ground speed is higher), whether the aircraft is level, turning, or descending,
and the proximity to the nearest runway along the current track. As the aircraft approaches
the runway, the projected flight path becomes narrower until FLTA is disabled or alerts are
inhibited. The system automatically disables FLTA alerts when the aircraft is less than 200 feet
above the destination runway elevation while within 0.5 nm of the approach runway or the
aircraft is between runway ends.
