4.1 Terrain Configurations
During power-up of the G500H, 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 G500H
environment:
• Terrain-HSVT - Refers to a subset of H-TAWS that meets the terrain alerting
requirements outlined in Section 7.b of AC 23-26. Terrain-HSVT is a subset
of H-TAWS that provides a FLTA functionality, including visual alerting
and aural alerting. Terrain-HSVT is provided with the Synthetic Vision
functionality and not marketed separately.
NOTE: Terrain-HSVT is not a fully functional HSVT and does not meet the
TAWS TSO-C194 requirements.
