BFGoodrich Launches First Terrain Awareness
and Warning System Interactive Website
BFGoodrich Aerospace has launched what it says is the first
multimedia website designed to educate and demonstrate the new
terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) requirements. Entitled,
"Discover," the interactive website content can be
found at
www.bfgavionics.com/discover. Immersing users into real case
flight scenarios, the website demonstration issues aural and visual
warnings whenever controlled flight into terrain situations arise.
Visitors can also experience flight situations when encountering
premature descents, reduced required terrain clearance and imminent
terrain impact. FAA's TAWS mandate applied to all fixed-wing aircraft
turbine aircraft equipped with six or more passenger seats, and
operated under Parts 91, 121 and 135.
