Key features
Terrain Awareness Warning Systems (TAWS)
This Class A TAWS system is a safety enhancer, appropriate for any air transport, regional, business or military aircraft that provides pilots and crews with the appropriate amount of time needed to clear terrain with a greater margin to maneuver and avoid a Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) incident. The Terrain Advisory Line is a patented feature that indicates an impending alert, should the aircraft continue on its flight path.
Mode S transponders are certified to DO-260B standards, and meet the ADS-B Out mandates for impending airspace initiatives, including the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) NextGen and Europe’s SESAR. DO-260B enables transmission of ADS-B information about an aircraft’s position, speed and intent.
