10 TERRAIN
10.1 Terrain Configurations
NOTE:
Obstacles are removed from the Terrain and TAWS pages at ranges
greater than 10 NM.
During power-up of the GTN 6XX, the terrain/obstacle database versions are
displayed along with a disclaimer. At the same time, the Terrain system self-test
begins. A failure message is issued if the terrain test fails.
Garmin provides the following terrain awareness solutions within the GTN
6XX environment.
Alerting functions are designed to increase situational awareness
and help reduce controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).
