4.4.5 TAWS Alerts
Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within
TAWS software algorithms. When an alert is issued, visual annunciations are
displayed and aural alerts are simultaneously issued. TAWS alert types are shown
in the TAWS Alerts Summary (Table 4-4) with corresponding annunciations
and aural messages.
When an alert is issued, annunciations appear on the PFD and MFD (TAWS
map page only). The TAWS Alert Annunciation is shown to the upper left of
the Altimeter on the PFD and below the Terrain Legend on the MFD. If the
TAWS page is not displayed at the time, a pop-up alert appears on the MFD on
the page being viewed.
