The TAWS is an avionic system installed in aircraft that uses sensors and computing functions to determine if the aircraft is in danger of colliding with terrain. It comprises components like the FLTA, GPWS, and processors that provide audio and video warnings to pilots if the aircraft path will intersect with high terrain. The system advantageously reduces CFIT accidents by alerting pilots with audio warnings and color-coded terrain displays when the aircraft approaches high terrain, though it has the disadvantage of sharing displays with other systems and its warnings occurring within only 1-2 minutes.

Ppt on terrain awareness warning system
- 1. TERRAIN AWARENESS WARNING SYSTEM
- 2. INTRODUCTION The TAWS generally relates to methods and systems for preventing collisions between aircraft and terrain . More particularly, the TAWS defines terrain warning systems. It is an avionic that is installed aboard the aircraft and it makes visual and sound warnings if detects that the aircraft is in a dangerous path towards terrain.
- 3. COMPONENTS • FLTA • GPWS • TAWS PROCESSOR • AUDIO OUTPUT • VIDEO OUTPUT
- 4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The TAWS comprises aircraft sensors, computing function and warning outputs. The computer receives numerous inputs from on board sensors and processes these to determine if a hazardous situation is developing. The TAWS computing function can either be from a self-contained aircraft system .
- 6. ADVANTAGE • It reduces the number of accident due to CFIT. • It gives audio warning to the pilot when the aircraft approaches a high terrain. • It also display terrain showing the height in colour code.
- 7. DISADVENTAGE • It use the same display that is used to display weather information, air traffic and pre loaded moving map as well as runway position. • It gives warning before 1 or 2 minuites .
