CARP ALERT MESSAGES
The FMS monitors the altitude, speed, and cross-track error during a CARP procedure. The altitude and speed
errors are obtained using the entered mission Indicated Air Speed (IAS) and Height Above Terrain (HAT) values
on the CARP PLAN pages. The errors may be sub-divided in three areas, per the following figure:
TAS
Error
(kts)
20
-20
150
-150
Alt Error (ft)
-1000
1000
50
-50
A
B
C
Figure 11- 14
The FMS response, per area in the figure, is:
A. No alert messages signalled.
B. At one minute from the CRP waypoint, the alert message “CARP ALT NOT MET” or “CARP TAS NOT MET”
is raised. The message is displayed until the error is removed.
NOTE: At 10 seconds prior to reaching the CRP waypoint, the TARGET TAS and ALTITUDE (seen on the
CARP PROGRESS page) are updated to the current TAS and altitude, if the NO CARP SOLUTION
message is not present. For the case when the NO CARP SOLUTION message is present, the
TARGET TAS and ALTITUDE will remain to the last target values prior to the NO CARP SOLUTION
message appearing.
The alert message(s) is, however, still displayed if the error condition persists, leaving the operator
the choice to continue the mission or not. CARP advisory messages and remote annunciators are
provided as usual, allowing the operation to continue.
