KGP 560 SUPPLEMENT LIMITATIONS

SECTION II - LIMITATIONS
Navigation must not be predicated upon the use of the Terrain
Awareness Display. The Terrain Awareness Display is intended to
serve as a situational awareness tool only, and may not provide the
accuracy and/or fidelity on which to solely base terrain or obstacle
avoidance maneuvering decisions.

KGP 560 SUPPLEMENT NORMAL PROCEDURES

SECTION IV - NORMAL PROCEDURES

A. PREAMBLE
The operating procedures contained in this supplement have been
developed and recommended by the manufacturer and approved by
the FAA for use in the operation of this system. These procedures
are for guidance only in identifying acceptable operating
procedures.
B. SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The GA-EGPWS is active when electrical power is on, the TERR
N/A annunciator is not on and the following systems are
operational:
Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Computer (EGPWC)
Encoding Altimeter
An INOP indication (TERR N/A lamp) is provided for the GA-
EGPWS.
If the EGPWS aircraft position GPS input is unavailable, the GA-
EGPWS will not be available.
Perform a system self test on the ground prior to every flight to
verify proper operation of the KGP 560 GA-EGPWS.
C. GPWS INDICATORS AND CONTROLS
The Mid-Continent Instrument Company MD41-1208 Terrain
Awareness Control Unit (shown below) incorporates all of the
terrain annunciations and control functions into a single panel
mounted unit. All annunciation colors are as described below. The
two push buttons are black legends on white switches. These
switches are dimmed via the instrument panel lighting bus.

E. SYSTEM SELF TEST

Proper operation of the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning
System can be verified when the aircraft is on the ground as
follows:
Select the TERR display mode on the MFD.
Ensure that the TERR INHB switch is NOT ENGAGED, and
momentarily push the TST switch:
The amber TERR N/A light illuminates.
The red TERR light illuminates.
An aural “EGPWS SYSTEM OK” message is enunciated over
cockpit speaker.
The red TERR light extinguishes.
The amber TERR light illuminates.
A terrain self-test pattern appears on the MFD.
The terrain self-test pattern disappears after several sweeps of the
terrain display.
The amber TERR light extinguishes.
The amber TERR N/A light extinguishes.

NORMAL PROCEDURES KGP 560 SUPPLEMENT

F. RESPONSE TO GROUND PROXIMITY WARNINGS (MODES 1

AND 3)
Respond to Ground Proximity warnings as follows:
When an aural "PULL UP" warning occurs, the following procedure
should be followed:
1. Level the wings, simultaneously adding maximum power.
2. Smoothly pitch up at a rate of 2 to 3 degrees per second
towards an initial target pitch attitude of 15 degrees nose up.
3. Adjust pitch attitude to ensure terrain clearance, while
respecting stall warning. If flaps are extended, retract flaps to
the up position.
4. Continue climb at best angle of climb speed (Vx) until terrain
clearance is assured.
• Only vertical maneuvers are recommended unless
operating in VMC or the pilot determines, using all
available information and instruments, that a turn, in
addition to the vertical escape maneuver, is the safest
course of action.
• Pilots are authorized to deviate from their current
air traffic control (ATC) clearance to the extent
necessary to comply with an EGPWS warning.
When an aural warning other than "PULL UP" occurs, initiate
corrective action to remove the cause of the warning. The following
aural warnings can occur:
Mode 1: "SINK RATE"
Mode 3: "DON’T SINK"
NOTE: During operations at certain locations,
warning thresholds may be exceeded due
to specific terrain or operating procedures.
During day VFR, these expected warnings
may be considered as cautionary and the
approach continued.

G. ADVISORY CALLOUTS (MODE 6)

The following advisory callouts are provided in this installation:
"FIVE HUNDRED" (‘Smart’ callout) Occurs at 500
feet AGL.
H. RESPONSE TO TERRAIN/OBSTACLE AWARENESS ALERTS
1. CAUTION ALERT
When an aural “CAUTION TERRAIN” or a “CAUTION
OBSTACLE” alert occurs, take positive corrective action
until the alert ceases. Stop descending, or initiate a climb
and/or turn as necessary, based on analysis of all available
instruments and information.
If the GA-EGPWS issues a caution when the terrain display
page is not selected, a pop up message will appear on the
active display page of the MFD. The pilot must
acknowledge the pop up message by pressing the Power Key
next to the “OK” Soft Label to clear it.
2. WARNING ALERT
When an aural "TERRAIN TERRAIN, PULL UP" or a
“OBSTACLE OBSTACLE, PULL UP” warning occurs,
follow the procedure described for a “PULL UP” warning in
paragraph F.
If the GA-EGPWS issues a warning when the terrain display
page is not selected, a pop up message will appear on the
active display page of the MFD. The pilot must
acknowledge the pop up message by pressing the Power Key
next to the “OK” Soft Label to clear it.

I. USE OF TERRAIN AWARENESS DISPLAY

The terrain awareness display is selected by depressing the TERR
function key on the MFD. The display is intended to enhance
situational awareness with respect to separation from terrain or
obstacles.
The display is not intended to be used for navigation purposes.
Color and intensity variations are used to show terrain/obstacle
heights relative to the airplane (Refer to Table 1, section I paragraph
D.).
The 500/250-foot GREEN to YELLOW boundary is BELOW the
airplane in order to account for altimetry and/or terrain/obstacle
height errors. For situational awareness with respect to
terrain/obstacle shown on the display, the pilot should assume that
the YELLOW or RED terrain or obstacle is at or above the airplane;
GREEN terrain is below the airplane. These boundary levels are
biased upwards by half an aircraft’s descent rate greater than 1000
feet per minute.
If there is no terrain data in the database for a particular area, that
portion of the display is colored a MAGENTA dot pattern. Terrain
is not shown (black) if it is below the lowest band and/or is within
400 feet of the runway elevation nearest the aircraft.
Two elevation numbers indicate the highest and lowest terrain
currently displayed on the screen. The elevation numbers indicate
terrain in hundreds of feet above sea level (e.g., “125” is 12,500 feet
MSL) and are color matched to the display. In the event that there
is no appreciable difference between the highest and lowest
elevations (flat terrain or over water), only the highest numeric
value is displayed.

J. SYSTEM CONSTRAINTS
1. If there is no terrain data in the database for a particular area,
then Terrain/Obstacle Awareness alerting is not available for
that area. The affected display area is colored with
MAGENTA dot pattern.
2. If the Terrain/Obstacle Awareness features of the KGP 560
GA-EGPWS have been inhibited (e.g. selected OFF due to
excessive navigation system position error), the GA-EGPWS
will not give aural alerts. A WARNINGS INHIBITTED
message will be annunciated on the MFD.
