Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) Training

Course Description

Controlled flight into terrain remains one of the leading causes of aviation accidents. To help prevent such incidents, Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) have been developed. This online TAWS course is designed to provide essential academic knowledge and meets the requirements of GM1 CAT.OP.MPA.290 for Ground Proximity Detection and TAWS Flight Crew Training.

Focusing on system operation, functions, limitations, and inhibits, the course is based on the EGPWS installed in ATR aircraft, though content may vary depending on specific aircraft or TAWS configurations. It covers the six basic GPWS modes and includes a chapter on operating procedures.
