4.3 Terrain Proximity
Garmin Terrain Proximity is a non-TSO-C194-certified terrain awareness
system provided as a standard feature of GDU 620 to increase situational
awareness and help reduce controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). Terrain may be
displayed on the Map page group Navigation Map and Terrain pages.
Terrain Proximity uses information provided from the GPS receiver to
provide a horizontal position and altitude. GPS altitude is derived from satellite
measurements. GPS altitude is converted to a Mean Sea Level (MSL)-based
altitude (GPS-MSL altitude). GPS-MSL altitude accuracy is affected by factors
such as satellite geometry, but it is not subject to variations in pressure and
temperature that normally affect pressure altitude devices. GPS-MSL altitude
does not require local altimeter settings to determine MSL altitude. Therefore,
GPS altitude provides a highly accurate and reliable MSL altitude source to
calculate terrain and obstacle alerts.
Terrain Proximity utilizes terrain and obstacle databases that are referenced
