sAlert Sensitivity—The three Alert Sensitivity settings (Terrain, Obstacle, and Descent
Rate) determine what level of alerts are annunciated. The aera 660 defaults to
‘High’ sensitivity, which annunciates all red and yellow alerts at the time set in
Look Ahead Time. ‘Medium’ sensitivity annunciates all of the red and the highest
priority of yellow alerts. ‘Low’ only annunciates red alerts. ‘Off’ disables the alert.

Terrain, Obstacle, and Descent Rate Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet
parameters that are set within the software algorithms. Terrain alerts typically employ
a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity level, or both. When an alert is issued, visual
annunciations are displayed and aural alerts are simultaneously issued. When the
aircraft descends through 500 feet above the destination airport an audible “Five
Hundred” altitude reminder occurs.
The Terrain Alert Annunciation is shown to the lower left corner of the screen. If the
Terrain Map is not displayed, a pop-up alert appears. The Range Rings on the pop-
up alert are spaced every whole mile/kilometer/nautical mile. Touch the Terrain Alert
Annunciation to acknowledge the pop-up and/or aural alert.
