Protection against CFIT Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity

Warning Systems (EGPWS) provides

comprehensive flight safety. Our system

uses a highly integrated and field-proven

combination of classic Controlled Flight

Into Terrain (CFIT) modes and enhanced

terrain look-ahead capabilities to provide

superior performance. Honeywell

EGPWS maximizes safety across a broad

range of flight conditions by keeping

more layers of protection active, thus

providing more warning time for pilots to

execute a safe recovery.

A system for every aircraft.With solutions certified on more than 250

aircraft types, the Honeywell Enhanced

Ground Proximity Warning System is a

leading aviation safety solution.

Whatever you fly, a Honeywell EGPWS

provides one of the most technologically

advanced solutions available.

Why choose Honeywell?Simple: safety! Honeywell is a leading

provider of safety equipment focused on

reducing the risk of CFIT accidents.

Features and capabilities:Feature sets vary by EGPWS model;

refer to individual product brochures for

the exact features and specifications for

each model.

Worldwide terrain, airport, and obstacle

databaseHoneywells exclusive

database contains more than 12,000

airports, 30,000 runways, and 108,000

obstacles throughout North America,

Europe, and Asia. The industry's most

mature, and global database

seamlessly integrates with

sophisticated monitoring, alerting, and

warning algorithms, reducing nuisance

alerts to less than 1 in 150,000 flight

hours and decreasing the risk of a

possible CFIT or runway incursion

incident. The database conforms to

WGS84 standards.

Internal GPS card optionWhen an

external GPS source is not available,

this option gives any aircraft the

position and altitude accuracy needed

to ensure that EGPWS provides the

best operation possible.

Geometric altitude-Provides

independent Mean Sea Level (MSL)

altitude using multiple sources.

Geometric altitude is independent of

atmospheric errors, temperature, non-

standard atmosphere, incorrect

altimeter settings and altitude reference

system.

Engineered and built to the highest standards,Honeywells EGPWS delivers reliable andproven real-world Performancesaving morethan 30 aircraft and all the lives on board.

Compatible displaysEGPWS systems work seamlessly with

any color display from any manufacturer.

So you can continue to use the display

already on your aircraft. But when

considering displays for new cockpits,

repairs, or retrofits, remember Honeywell

quality:

Multifunction Radar Display (MFRD)

A low-cost, high-reliability solution that

transforms your weather radar display

into a state-of the-art, multifunction

Active Matrix LCD.

TRA 45A Terrain Display/Radio Altitude

IndicatorA compact unit that

combines terrain display and radio

altitude data to maximize limited

instrument panel space.

Peaks ModeHigh terrain more than

2,000 feet below is clearly visible while

cruising, providing greater situational

awareness during initial descent or in

the event of unplanned descent.

Vertical situation displayWith

compatible displays, EGPWS provides

a vertical display of the aircraft flight

profile.

Automatic runway selectionRunway

picker independently selects the

intended runway, reducing the risk of

landing short where there are multiple

runways. It also significantly reduces

those exposed areas around runways

where there would be no warning for

landing off the runway.

Look-ahead alert/warning algorithms

These dynamic, highly sophisticated

algorithms monitor aircraft systems and

performance ahead of and along your

current flight path, providing pilots the

most reaction time possible while

virtually eliminating nuisance alerts.

Runway and terrain clearance floors

These altitude alerts work seamlessly to

provide protection against landing short

of a runway or descending into no

airport. Utilizing Geometric Altitude, the

EGPWS monitors altitude above the

airfield and provides alerts when an

aircraft prematurely descends below

the normal approach slope.

Envelope modulationIn geographic

locations with extreme terrain, envelope

modulation of the classic GPWS modes

reduces nuisance warnings and

provides added alerting time where

needed.

Automatic altitude calloutsOn

approach and landing, voice callouts

advise current altitude, increasing pilot

awareness.

Pseudo radio altitudeThis function

greatly reduces unwanted GPWS

warnings caused by loss of track in the

radio altimeter while flying through

heavy rain or hail, or over another

aircraft.

Bank angle warningDuring

maneuvering on approach or climb out,

and while at altitude, the bank angle

feature provides protection for over-

banking. It also protects against wing or

engine strikes close to the runway.

Windshear detectionTwo alerting

envelopes provide either a caution or a

warning with distinctive aural and visual

indications if the aircraft encounters

windshear.

Radar AutoTiltThe weather radar

antenna angle automatically adjusts to

the aircraft flight profile and terrain

information provided by the EGPWS.

This reduces terrain clutter while

highlighting weather buildups,

maximizing weather radar effectiveness,

and reducing pilot workload. (Requires

compatible weather radar.)

Runway Awareness and Advisory

System (RAAS)An optional software

extension for Mark V and VII EGPWS

models, RAAS increases pilot

awareness, lowering the probability of

runway incursions during taxi, takeoff,

final approach, landing, and rollout.

Outperforms all competing systems.Safety, Reliability, Proven Performance

Honeywell strives to provide advanced

safety solutions to our customers. Since
