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.
Garmin International holds an FAA Type 2 Letter of Acceptance (LOA) in accordance with AC 20-153 for
database integrity, quality, and database management practices for the Terrain and Obstacle databases.
Flight crews and operators can view the LOA statuses and areas of degraded terrain performance by
selecting the Type 2 LOA status quick link at www.FlyGarmin.com.
When responding to a TAWS “Pull Up” warning, the autopilot must be immediately disconnected and the
evasive maneuver hand flown by the pilot.
TRAFFIC AVOIDANCE SYSTEM LIMITS
Use of the MAP - TRAFFIC MAP, Inset Map traffic display, or the SVS display to maneuver the airplane
for traffic avoidance without outside visual reference is prohibited. The Traffic Information System (TIS) or
optional Skywatch TAS, Skywatch HP, Honeywell KTA-870, and Garmin GTS 820/850/8000 Traffic
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. Pilots are authorized to deviate from their current ATC clearance to comply with a TCAS II
resolution advisory (RA). When responding to a TCAS RA warning, the autopilot must be immediately
disconnected and the evasive maneuver hand flown by the pilot.
