SURVEILLANCE

Question 1

TRANSPONDER:

Minimum pressure altitude for transponder altitude reporting

Answer 1

-1 000 ft

Question 2

TAWS

Answer 2

Aircraft navigation is not to be predicated upon the use of the terrain display.
The terrain display is intended to serve as a situation awareness tool only, and may not provide the
accuracy on which to solely base terrain avoidance maneuvering.
The TAWS function should be inhibited (TERR SYS button set to OFF on the MFD SURV/CONTROLS
page):
- For operation from/to runways not incorporated into the TAWS database,
- For specific approach procedures, which have previously been identified as potentially producing
false terrain alerts. The TAWS should be inhibited when the aircraft position is less than 15 NM from the airfield.
