Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)
TAWS is a system designed to keep the pilot
alert of altitudes that could result in Controlled
Flight into Terrain (CFIT). Terrain is shaded in
yellow or red based on the altitude of the
aircraft and the altitude of the terrain below.
When the distance between the aircraft and
terrain below becomes close enough to present
a conflict, the terrain is colored yellow or red.
When enabled, TAWS arms automatically when
airspeed is above the TAWS airspeed shutoff
setting.
This is to prevent false warnings in the traffic
pattern.
TAWS Terrain Colors:
RED - Aircraft is within 100ft AGL of the terrain
YELLOW - Aircraft is between 1,000ft AGL and 100ft AGL of the terrain.
