GENERAL INFORMATION
The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) integrates two alerting functional
areas into a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning
Computer (EGPWC).

These functional areas are:

• Ground Proximity Warning (including altitude callout and bank angle alerting)

• Terrain (or obstacle) Awareness and Display (TAD)

The system operates by accepting a variety of aircraft parameters as inputs and applying alerting
algorithms. In the event that the boundaries of any alerting envelope are exceeded, the EGPWS
provides the flight crew with aural alert annunciations and visual display on the Avidyne EX600
MFD.

The EGPWS comprises the following groups of components:

• Aircraft sensors and other systems inputs

• The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Computer (EGPWC)

• Cockpit audio system

• Alert lamps, mode and selector pushbuttons, and a display of terrain data.

The EGPWS is designed to be fully compatible with normal aircraft operations. Unwanted alerts
will be very rare if the pilot maintains situational awareness with respect to the terrain. The only
required pilot input is to initiate preflight test.

This Flight Manual Supplement is applicable to EGPWS computer P/N 965-1595-028 with software
Version 028 interfaced to an Avidyne EX600 MFD with software Version 4 (or later) for the display
of the terrain data.

Mode 6 Advisory Callouts “Two Hundred, etc.”
Bank Angle Callouts “Bank Angle”
Tail Strike Callouts “Tail Too Low”
Be Alert Terrain INOP Advisory “Be Alert Terrain INOP”

TERRAIN (OR OBSTACLE) AWARENESS DISPLAY

The enhanced functions of the EGPWS are the Terrain (or obstacles) Awareness and Display
(TAD). Obstacles of 100 feet or more have been included from a database provided by National
Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that covers the Unites States, parts of Canada, and
the Caribbean. These functions use geographic aircraft position, aircraft altitude, and a terrain
database to predict potential conflicts between the aircraft path and the terrain or cataloged man
made obstacles. Additionally, it provides graphics displays of the conflicting terrain or obstacle.

MODE FUNCTION CAUTION WARNING

TAD Terrain Awareness “Caution Terrain” “Warning Terrain”
“Caution Terrain” “Warning Terrain”
TAD Obstacle Awareness “Caution Obstacle” “Warning Obstacle”
“Caution Obstacle” “Warning Obstacle”

The Terrain (or obstacle) Awareness Display (TAD) algorithms continuously compute terrain
clearance envelopes ahead of the aircraft. If the boundaries of these envelopes conflict with
terrain elevation data in the terrain database, alerts are issued. Two envelopes are computed, one
corresponding to a Terrain Caution Alert level and the other to a Terrain Warning Alert level.

If the aircraft penetrates the Caution envelope boundary, the aural message "Caution Terrain,
Caution Terrain" or "Caution Obstacle, Caution Obstacle" is generated and the alert discrete is
provided for activation of a visual amber TERRAIN annunciator. Simultaneously, terrain areas of
obstacles that conflict with the caution criteria are shown in solid yellow color on the display.

ii 23 JAN 2013 Export Classification C, ECCN EAR99

 BHT-429-FMS-14

If the aircraft penetrates the Warning envelope boundary, the aural message "Warning Terrain" or
"Warning Obstacle" is generated, and the alert discrete is provided for activation of a visual red
TERRAIN annunciator. Simultaneously, terrain areas of obstacles that conflict with the warning
criteria are shown in solid red color on the display.

Terrain picture data may be selected at any time by depressing the TAWS key on the Avidyne
EX600 MFD.

When conditions exist for either Terrain Caution or Terrain Warning to be announced, the display
will automatically change from a map or traffic advisory picture to the terrain picture. The display
will automatically change to a 5NM range. The Avidyne EX600 MFD does not feature auto-ranging
in Low Altitude mode, therefore whenever LOW ALT mode is selected the pilot must have the
terrain display preselected with a range of 5NM.

Terrain that is sufficiently close to the aircraft, but does not satisfy the Caution or Warning
criteria, is shown in varying density levels of red, yellow, or green dot patterns with a black
background. The density of the dot pattern is coarsely varied to depict terrain altitude with
respect to the aircraft. All displayed terrain areas or obstacles are shown as rectilinear shapes,
which are designed to be easily distinguished from the display of weather radar images. Magenta
(purple) dot patterns are used to indicate areas where terrain information is unavailable.

"Peaks" display mode provides additional terrain display features for enhanced situational
awareness, independent of the aircraft's altitude. This function is evidenced by the presence of
three-digit elevation numbers indicating the highest and lowest terrain/obstacle elevation within
the selected map range. These elevations are expressed in hundreds of feet above sea level (e.g.,
125 is 12,500 feet MSL). In the event there is no appreciable difference between highest and
lowest terrain/obstacle elevations (flat terrain), only the highest value is displayed. The colors of
the elevation numbers match the color of the terrain that is represented.

System Pilot's Guide, 060-4314-200, Rev. C (or later), and the Avidyne EX500/EX600 MFD Pilot's
