HTAWS Alerts
NOTE: HTAWS Caution Alerts are displayed as
constant black text on a yellow background;
HTAWS Warning Alerts are displayed as constant
white text on a red background.
Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance
The unit will issue terrain alerts not only when the
aircraft altitude is below the terrain elevation but also when
the aircraft is projected to come within minimum clearance
values of the terrain. This alerting, called Forward Looking
Terrain Avoidance (FLTA), is also provided for obstacles.
The FLTA functionality looks ahead of the aircraft using
GPS position information and the terrain and obstacle
databases to provide alerts when the predicted flight path
does not clear the terrain or obstacle by the required
clearance. The amount of clearance required varies
depending on position relative to airports and heliports, in
order to reduce the occurrence of nuisance alerting.
Any potential impact points are depicted on the display.
There are 2 levels of severity for FLTA alerts. They are
cautionary (amber) and warning (red) in nature and are
described in further detail below.
FLTA CAUTION—Estimated potential impact in approximately
30 seconds after a caution pop-up alert and annunciation. FLTA
caution alerts are accompanied by the aural message Caution
Terrain; Caution Terrain OR “Terrain Ahead; Terrain Ahead.
Similarly, a “Caution Obstacle; Caution Obstacle” or “Obstacle
Ahead; Obstacle Ahead” alert is also provided. The time to an
alert can vary with conditions, therefore there is no guarantee
of a 30 second caution alert being issued.
FLTA WARNING— Warning pop-up alerts are issued 15 seconds
prior to an estimated potential impact in normal mode and
approximately 10 seconds in RP Mode. FLTA warning alerts are
accompanied by the aural message Warning - Terrain, Terrain .
Similarly, a “Warning - Obstacle, Obstacle alert is also provided.
The time to an alert can vary with conditions, therefore there is
no guarantee of a 15/10 second warning alert being issued.
The alerts are annunciated visually through the
annunciator status bar, a pop-up alert box, and the red and
yellow X’s on the HTAWS page. The alerts are annunciated
aurally through a voice message indicating the potential
threat, such as “Caution - Terrain, Terrain” or “Warning -
Obstacle, Obstacle”.
Voice Call Out Aural Alert
The purpose of the Voice Call Out aural alert messages
are to provide an advisory alert to the pilot that the aircraft
is between 500 feet and 100 feet above terrain in 100 foot
increments. When the aircraft descends within the selected
distance from the terrain, the aural message for the selected
distance is generated. There are no display annunciations
or pop-up alerts that accompany the aural message.
