5-40 Cruise / Enroute
Either terrain or obstacles can trigger FLTA alerts and they are
distinguished via the CAS messaging and aural alerting. The
difference between FLTA warnings and cautions is exclusively
based on distance-to-go to projected impact points or reduced
clearance areas.
The projected imminent impact location or the projected reduced
terrain and obstacle clearance area is depicted on the SynVis
scene and the maps with a solid yellow (caution) or red (warning)
“flashlight” elliptical depiction. Depending on aircraft dynamics, it
may be possible for a solid red FLTA “flashlight” projected terrain
impact point to appear on top of a larger hatched yellow SV-TA
depiction.
NOTE
If a DFC100 autopilot is not installed and functional,
then there will be no FLTA aurals. This is because
the aural alert files are housed inside the DFC100.
FLTA CAS messages and map depictions will still
be provided.
