in the TAWS display under normal circumstances and represent
the actual elevation of the terrain relative to the aircraft.
5) Terrain Data - Terrain data is depicted as colored areas
representing various elevations relative to your aircraft and
potential hazard situations. For information about the TAWS color
scale, see TAWS Display Color Coding on page 140.
6) Range Rings - Range rings are shown as solid white lines. The
distance to the outer ring is shown in the Range annunciation.
The inner ring is one-half the range of the outer ring.
Note: The EX500/EX600 displays TAWS data that is received from
the TAWS sensor. The EX500/EX600 does not generate its
own TAWS data.
7) Brg (Bearing Control) - The Brg knob (only available on the 4-
knob EX500/EX600) controls the position of the bearing line. The
digital readout at the top of the screen displays L for left, R for
right and the number of degrees relative to the aircraft heading.
Turning the left outer knob adjusts the bearing line in increments
of 5 degrees.
8) Range knob - Changes the TAWS display range. During the brief
delay between the request for a new range (by turning the range
knob) and the actual display of data at the new range, a dashed
box is displayed immediately below the Range Annunciation that
contains the new requested range.
9) Azimuth Lines (not shown) - On a 2-knob EX500, there is no
Brg knob, so the bearing line feature is not available. Instead,
there is an Azimuth Lines key. When pressed, labeled azimuth
lines appear every 20 degrees. Press it again to remove the
azimuth lines.
!
The TAWS display on the EX500/EX600 is an optional
component of any TAWS-B installation and is intended only to
enhance situational awareness. All terrain avoidance
maneuvering must be predicated on indications from the
installed TAWS system and not from the
EX500/EX600.
