EGPWS Has two databases
TCF terrain clearance floor
TAAD terrain obstacle awareness alerting display
What does TCF terrain clearance floor database include
Airports with runways longer than 3500 feet
What does TAAD terrain obstacle awareness alert and display data base give us
Predicts potential conflict at all phases of flight
Compares parameters(Aircraft altitude vertical speed flight bath groundspeed)to generate warnings
The terrain function can be overlaid on
NAV SECTOR
FMS MAP
Can weather radar and terrain be displayed at the same time
Nope!!
TCAS is controlled via the
DCPs
RTUs
Tilt for weather radar?
