Defining Terrain Alerts
A caution alert as an alert that requires immediate pilot awareness
and corrective action usually necessary involving stop descending
or initiate either a climb or a turn, or both as necessary, based on
analysis of all available instruments and information.
A warning alert as an alert that requires immediate pilot action to initiate
and continue a climb that will provide maximum terrain clearance, or
any similar approved vertical terrain escape maneuver, until all alerts
cease. Vertical maneuvers are only recommended, unless either
operating in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), or the pilot
determines, based on all available information, that turning in addition
to the vertical escape maneuver is the safest course of action, or both.
