Section 3: TAWS Alerts<br />
Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within TAWS software algorithms.<br />
TAWS alerts typically employ either a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity level, or both. When an<br />
alert is issued, visual annunciations are displayed. Annunciations appear in a dedicated field in the lower<br />
left corner of the display (Figure 3-1). Annunciations are color-coded according to Table 3-2 (page 63).<br />
Pop-up terrain alerts can also appear during an alert, but only when the TAWS Page is not displayed.<br />
There are two options when an alert is displayed:<br />
To acknowledge the pop-up alert and return to the currently viewed page:<br />
1. Press the CLR button.<br />
To acknowledge the pop-up alert and quickly access the TAWS Page:<br />
1. Press the ENT button.<br />
To further capture the attention of the pilot, TAWS issues aural (voice) messages that accompany visual<br />
annunciations and pop-up alerts. Some aural messages are configurable during installation of the<br />
system. For a summary of aural messages, see Table 3-2.<br />
