NOTE
FLTA Disabled in External TAWS Equipped
Aircraft
In order to prevent possibly conflicting alerting
information, when an external TAWS/EGPWS
system in installed in the airplane as determined by
the “External TAWS” field selection on the “Main
System Config” page at time of installation, all FLTA
functionality is turned off, including the “FLTA Off”
and “FLTA Inhibited” CAS messages in Release
10.1.1.0 or later.
Should a FLTA alert be generated, there are several courses of
action that can be taken and the specific scenario will dictate the
optimum avoidance maneuver. For example, sometimes the best
course of action is to immediately add power and climb, yet
sometimes the best course of action may be a small heading
change, especially in the case of a single obstacle off the nose.
The pilot in command must assess the specific circumstances
presented and take action to avoid flight into terrain.
500’ CALLOUT
A 500’ aural alert is played anytime the aircraft descends through
500’ AGL as calculated by comparing GPS MSL altitude with
terrain database elevation data immediately below the aircraft.
This feature is primarily intended to provide situational awareness
to the pilot when the airplane is being operated properly per
normal procedures. Therefore, it is not suppressed in FLTA
exclusion areas, however, it will not play while there is an active
FLTA caution or warning.
In aircraft that have this feature enabled, it can be optionally
turned on/off via the User Options page.
In IFD540 TAWS equipped aircraft, this feature is not de-
selectable.
