External Sensors and Switches
TAWS requires a variety of inputs from external sensors and switches to
perform its functions as follows:
1)
GPS/SBAS Receiver
: Source of aircraft position, geodetic height,
horizontal figure of merit (HFOM), vertical figure of merit (VFOM), loss
of integrity (LOI), and loss of navigation (LON) inputs.
2)
Air Data Computer
(ADC)
: Source of barometric altitude, outside air
temperature, and vertical speed.
3)
ILS Receiver
: Glideslope receiver is the source of glideslope deviation.
4)
Radar Altimeter (RA)
: Source for radar altitude.
