RUNWAY AWARENESS AND ADVISORY SYSTEM

The Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) is designed to provide to crews information about the

aircraft's position relative to an airport's runway while operating at an airport. RAAS is a software upgrade

to the later-model Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems. It is designed to prevent runway

incursion incidents. The RAAS is automatically triggered and does not have any user interface in the aircraft.

The system comes with a configuration tool that allows you to change the settings. You can find this

configuration tool in the FSX ADDON drop down menu.

Do note that the RAAS is disabled when you installed the Airbus but that it will remember when you

activate it.

The default settings are correct for the Airbus, but you might like to change them. For example we left the

Transition Altitude empty as that differs between areas in Europe, if you always fly in the US you can set

this to 18.000 ft. The runway length is the minimum for a very light Airbus, if you fly long routes you might

use 1350 and 1100. Keep in mind that the RAAS that is included ONLY works in the Airbus. If you want this

to work for all aircraft you will need to buy a full license.
