Section 3: HTAWS Alerts
Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet
parameters that are set within HTAWS software
algorithms. HTAWS alerts employ either a
CAUTION
or a
WARNING
alert severity level. When an alert is
issued, visual annunciations are displayed. Aural alerts
are simultaneously issued. Annunciations appear in a
dedicated field in the lower left corner of the display.
HTAWS Annunciation Field
HTAWS Annunciation Field
Annunciations are color-coded according to the
HTAWS Alert Summary table. Pop-up terrain alerts will
occur if an HTAWS alert is activated while not on the
HTAWS page. There are two options when an alert is
displayed:
To acknowledge the pop-up alert and return to the
currently viewed page:
Press the
CLR
button.
To acknowledge the pop-up alert and quickly
access the HTAWS Page:
Press the
ENT
button.
NOTE:
To further capture the attention of the pilot,
HTAWS issues aural (voice) messages that accom-
pany visual annunciations and pop-up alerts. Some
aural messages are configurable during installation of
the system. For a summary of aural messages, see the
HTAWS Alert Summary table.
