Section 1 - General

The airplane is equipped with an Honeywell KGP 560 Terrain
Awareness and Warning System that performs the functions of a
Class C Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) in
accordance with TSO C151b.

Incorporating much of the technology found in TAWS for air transport
aircraft, the KPG 560 supports:

• Alerting for premature descent.

• Alerting for excessive rate of climb/descent.

• Altitude callout (500 ft) and alerting within 5 nm of 2000 ft public
runways.

• Look-ahead algorithms and integrated terrain/obstacle
database.

The system consists of the 560 GA-EGPWS Processor mounted on
the underside of the pilot-side kickplate, a Terrain/Obstacle Database
integral to the processor, the Configuration Module integral to the
system’s wire harness, and the TAWS annunciator panel mounted on
the lower LH portion of the instrument panel.

The KGP 560 receives data from the GPS sensor, Transponder,
Primary Flight Display, and the Multifunction Display (MFD). Aural
alerts are communicated to the pilot via the GMA 340 Audio Panel. To
enhance the situational awareness to the pilot, color-coded terrain
display is interfaced on the MFD.

For specific MFD operational details refer to the Avidyne FlightMax
EX5000C Pilot’s Guide.

For specific KGP 560 operational details, refer to the KGP 560 & 860

EGPWS Pilot’s Guide, P/N 006-18254-001, Revision 4 or later.

Section 2 - Limitations

1. Do not use the Terrain Awareness Display for navigation of the
aircraft. The KGP 560 Terrain Awareness and Warning System is
intended to serve as a situational awareness tool only and may not
provide the accuracy fidelity on which to solely base terrain or
obstacle avoidance maneuvering decisions.

Section 3 - Emergency Procedures

Off-Airport Landings

1. For ditching or other off-airport landings, inhibit the Terrain
Awareness System functions by selecting the TERR INHIBIT
switch on the annunciator panel to prevent unwanted aural
alerting.

Section 4 - Normal Procedures

• Note •

Only vertical maneuvers are recommended responses to
warnings and alerts unless operating in VMC or the pilot
determines, using all available information and instruments,
that a turn, in addition to the vertical escape maneuver, is the
safest course of action.

During certain operations, warning thresholds may be
exceeded due to specific terrain or operating procedures.
During day VFR flight, these warnings may be considered as a
cautionary.

If the TAWS issues an alert when the Terrain Awareness
Display Page is not selected, a pop up message will appear
on the active display page of the MFD. To clear the alert, the
pilot must acknowledge the pop up message by pressing the
Soft Key next to the displayed “OK”.

Pilots are authorized to deviate from their current air traffic
control (ATC) clearance to the extent necessary to comply
with a TAWS warning.

If the aircraft horizontal position derived from the Garmin
Navigator (GPS 1) is invalid, TAWS will be inoperative and the
TERR INOP annunciator will illuminate.

Response To Ground Proximity Warnings

Aural “PULL UP” Warning
Red TERR WARN Annunciation

1. Level the wings, simultaneously adding full power.

2. Increase pitch attitude to 15 degrees nose up.

3. Adjust pitch attitude to ensure terrain clearance while respecting
stall warning. If flaps are extended, retract flaps to the UP position.

4. Continue climb at best angle of climb speed (V

x

) until terrain

clearance is assured.

Aural “SINK RATE” Warning
Aural “DON’T SINK” Warning
Amber TERR CAUT Annunciation

1. Initiate appropriate corrective action to remove the cause of the
warning.
