Part Three: Section 3 TAWS Alerts WARNING- Estimated potential impact in approximately 15 seconds after a FLTA warning pop-up alert. FLTA warning pop-up alerts are accompanied by the aural message "Terrain, Terrain; Pull Up, Pull Up" or "Terrain Ahead, Pull Up; Terrain Ahead, Pull Up". Similarly, a "Obstacle, Obstacle; Pull Up, Pull Up" or "Obstacle Ahead, Pull Up; Obstacle Ahead, Pull Up" alert is also provided. The time to an alert can vary with conditions, therefore there is no guarantee of a 15 second warning alert being issued. Phase of Flight Level Flight Descending En Route 700 ft. 500 ft.

Premature Descent Alerting (PDA) The TAWS system issues a Premature Descent Alert (PDA) when the system detects that the aircraft is significantly below the normal approach path to a runway. PDA begins when the aircraft is within 15 NM of the destination airport. PDA ends when the aircraft is either: • 0.5 NM from the runway threshold OR • is below an altitude of 125 feet AGL while within 1.0 NM of the threshold.
