TAWS, GPWS, AND TERRAIN SYSTEM LIMITS
Pilots are authorized to deviate from their current ATC clearance to the extent necessary to comply with
TAWS or GPWS warnings.
The TAWS databases have an area of coverage as detailed below:
a) The terrain database has an area of coverage from North 90° Latitude to South 90° Latitude in all
Longitudes.
b) The obstacle database has an area of coverage that includes the United States and Europe.
Use of the TAWS for navigation or terrain and/or obstacle avoidance is prohibited.
NOTE
The area of coverage may be modified, as additional terrain data sources become
available.
NOTE
The TAWS page and terrain display is intended to serve as a situational awareness tool only. It
may not provide the accuracy, fidelity, or both, on which to solely base decisions and plan
maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles.
To avoid unwanted alerts, TAWS and/or GPWS should be inhibited when landing at an airport that is not
included in the airport database.
TRAFFIC AVOIDANCE SYSTEM LIMITS
Use of the MAP - TRAFFIC MAP to maneuver the airplane for traffic avoidance without outside visual
reference is prohibited. The Traffic Information System (TIS) or optional Skywatch HP, Skywatch TAS,
Honeywell KTA-870 TAS, Garmin GTS 820/850 TAS, or Collins TCAS-94 or TCAS-4000 Systems are
intended as an aid for the pilot to visually locate traffic. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and
manually maneuver the airplane to avoid other traffic. Maneuvers based solely on a traffic advisory (TA)
or on information displayed on a traffic display are not authorized.
For airplanes that have a Collins TCAS-94 or TCAS-4000 TCAS II system installed, pilots are authorized
to deviate from their current ATC clearance to comply with a TCAS II resolution advisory (RA).
DATA LINK WEATHER (XM OR GFDS WEATHER)
Datalink weather information displayed by the G1000 system is limited to supplemental use only. XM or
Garmin Flight Data Service (GFDS) weather data is not a source of official weather information. Use of
the NEXRAD, PRECIP, XM LTNG and DL LTNG (Datalink Lightning) data on the MAP – NAVIGATION
MAP, MAP – XM WEATHER DATA LINK or MAP – GFDS WEATHER DATA LINK pages for hazardous
weather, e.g., thunderstorm penetration is prohibited.
NEXRAD, PRECIP, XM LTNG and DL LTNG information on the MAP – NAVIGATION, MAP – XM
WEATHER DATA LINK, or MAP – GFDS WEATHER DATA LINK pages is intended only as an aid to
enhance situational awareness of hazardous weather, not penetration. It is the pilot’s responsibility to
avoid hazardous weather using official weather data sources and the airplane’s in-flight weather radar.
