2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
2.1 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The purpose for the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) is to help prevent accidents caused by
Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT), obstacles, or severe windshear. The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning
Computer (EGPWC) accepts a variety of aircraft sensors and system inputs and applies alerting algorithms to
provide the flight crew with aural messages and visual annunciations when the boundaries of alerting envelopes are
exceeded. A graphic depiction of terrain and obstacles within the range selected on an EFIS or Weather Radar
display may be configured for enhanced situational awareness with respect to terrain and obstacles. Figure 2-1
provides an overall system block diagram.
Figure 2-1: Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System
The EGPWS is comprised of the following:

• Aircraft sensors and systems providing input signals
• The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Computer (EGPWC)
• Flight deck audio systems (speaker and interphone)
• Alert lamps and/or EFIS or EICAS displays (for alert and system status messages)
• EFIS Navigation Display (ND), Multi-Function Display (MFD), or Weather Radar Indicator for display of terrain
• Switching relay(s) when required for switching display inputs from weather display to terrain display
• GPS antenna for direct connection to EGPWC with internal GPS sensors
2.1.1 ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING COMPUTER (EGPWC)
All EGPWS functions are processed by a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) called the Enhanced Ground Proximity
Warning Computer (EGPWC).
The MK V and MK VII EGPWC are digitally controlled computers housed in a 2 MCU ARINC 600-6 form factor
chassis intended for Air Transport type aircraft. Installation configuration is defined by program pin strapping in the
aircraft.
The MK VI and MK VIII EGPWC are digitally controlled computers housed in a non-ARINC form factor chassis
intended for Business and General Aviation and Regional Turboprop type aircraft. These models have fewer
interface and functional options. The installation configuration is defined in a programmed Configuration Module
installed in the aircraft.
The MK XXII EGPWC is a digitally controlled computer housed in a non-ARINC form factor chassis intended for
various rotorcraft. Similar to the MK VI and MK VIII EGPWC, this model has fewer interface and functional options.
The installation configuration is defined in a programmed Configuration Module installed in the helicopter.
The EGPWC receives information in AC, DC, discrete, and synchro analog formats, and RS-232, RS-422, ARINC
429 or ARINC 575 digital formats. Discrete signals can be either ground or +28V discretes. The EGPWC provides
discrete, audio and ARINC 429 outputs for alerts and system status, and video (ARINC 453/708) for terrain display.
The EGPWC is rack mounted and does not require any forced air cooling when operated within the normal
operating temperature range given in the Table 1-1.
2.2 OPERATION
2.2.1 MODE 1 – EXCESSIVE DESCENT RATE

Mode 1 provides audio and visual alerts for excessive descent rates into terrain. When the EGPWS caution alert
envelope is penetrated, the message “SINKRATE” is enunciated and EGPWS alert lights illuminate. Continuing the
excessive descent rate into the EGPWS warning alert envelope results in a “PULL-UP” enunciation and EGPWS
alert lights illuminated. Mode 1 is desensitized to eliminate unwanted (nuisance) alerts when the EGPWS
determines that the aircraft is above a Glideslope beam. In some fixed-wing applications, Mode 1 is also
desensitized when Steep Approach or Flap Override is active. In helicopter applications, Mode 1 is disabled when
autorotation is detected.
2.2.2 MODE 2A/2B - TERRAIN CLOSURE RATE

Mode 2 provides audio and visual alerts for dangerously high terrain closure rates. Two sub-modes, referred to as
Mode 2A and 2B, are defined. Mode 2A is active when flaps are not in the landing position and the aircraft is not on
an ILS approach within ± 2 dots of glideslope center. Mode 2B is active when the flaps are in the landing position or
while on an ILS approach within ± 2 dots of glideslope deviation. When the caution alert envelope is penetrated, the
message “TERRAIN, TERRAIN” is enunciated and EGPWS alert lights illuminate. Continuing the high terrain
closure rate into the warning alert envelope results in a “PULL-UP” enunciation and EGPWS alert lights illuminated.
2.2.3 MODE 3 - DESCENT AFTER TAKEOFF

Mode 3 provides audio and visual alerts for excessive altitude loss after takeoff, or after a go-around from below 245
feet above ground level (AGL), when flaps and gear are not in the landing configuration. Penetrating the Mode 3
alert envelope causes the voice message “DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK” and illumination of EGPWS alert lights.
2.2.4 MODE 4A/4B/4C - UNSAFE TERRAIN CLEARANCE

Mode 4 provides audio and visual alerts for unsafe terrain clearance with respect to phase of flight, height above
ground, and speed. Three sub-modes, referred to as Mode 4A, 4B, and 4C, are defined. Mode 4A is active during
cruise and approach with landing gear up. Mode 4B is active during cruise and approach with landing gear down
and flaps up. Mode 4C is active during takeoff when either gear or flaps are not in the landing configuration. The
aural enunciations for Mode 4A are “TOO LOW TERRAIN” or “TOO LOW GEAR” depending on airspeed. Mode 4B
provides “TOO LOW TERRAIN” or “TOO LOW FLAPS” depending on airspeed. Mode 4C provides “TOO LOW
TERRAIN”. EGPWS alert lights are illuminated during these alerts.
2.2.5 MODE 5 - DESCENT BELOW GLIDESLOPE

Mode 5 provides audio and visual alerts for excessive glideslope deviation when the aircraft descends below the
glideslope beam on front-course ILS approaches. In some installations, the EGPWS provides Mode 5 alerts on
GPS LPV (Localizer Precision with Vertical guidance) approaches also. Two levels of alerting are provided. If the
aircraft is below 1000 feet AGL and gets to or exceeds 1.3 dots glideslope deviation (fly-up), a ‘soft’ (reduced
volume) “GLIDESLOPE” is enunciated. Exceeding 2 dots below 300 feet AGL provides a hard (full volume)
“GLIDESLOPE” enunciation. EGPWS alert lights are illuminated during these alerts.
2.2.6 MODE 6 - ADVISORY CALLOUTS (OPTIONAL)

The EGPWC can be programmed to enunciate Mode 6 Advisory Callouts based on menu selectable options. Mode
6 includes Altitude Awareness, Minimums/Approaching Minimums, and Bank Angle type callouts as defined for each
EGPWS model (refer to an applicable Interface Control Document or Installation Design Guide). The menu selected
Advisory Callouts are defined and enabled in the installation configuration. If Altitude Callouts are not enabled, only
(DH based) “MINIMUMS” callouts will be provided. The MK XXII offers a tail strike advisory for helicopters.
Only aural callouts are provided for Mode 6. EGPWS alert lights are NOT illuminated for Mode 6 callouts. The
following table identifies all of the Mode 6 Callouts that are available and the applicability to each model.

2.2.6.1 EXCESSIVE BANK ANGLE CALLOUT

The Bank Angle Callout feature provides callout enunciation for excessive bank angles based on altitude and bank
angle limits defined by aircraft type. It is intended to enhance situational awareness during intentional or
unintentional maneuvering, and for protection against wing or engine strikes when close to the runway.
When the bank angle limit is reached, the aural callout “BANK ANGLE, BANK ANGLE” is given. Follow-on aural
messages are only provided when the aircraft roll angle increases an additional 20% from the previous callout.
Bank Angle Callouts are enabled by the installation configuration.
2.2.6.2 TAIL STRIKE CALLOUT

A tail strike alert function is provided by the MK XXII for applicable rotary wing aircraft based upon Radio Altitude,
Pitch Attitude, Pitch Rate and Barometric Altitude Rate. The voice message “Tail Too Low “ is provided continuously
while within the alert boundary. Unique alert boundaries are provided for applicable aircraft types.
2.2.7 MODE 7 - WINDSHEAR DETECTION (OPTIONAL FOR MK V/VII/VIII ONLY)

Mode 7 provides the flight crew with visual and aural alerts for windshear of sufficient magnitude to be potentially
hazardous to the aircraft. The system is capable of detecting severe decreasing performance shears (i.e. increasing
tailwind/decreasing headwind and/or downdraft) which present an immediate danger to the aircraft. The system is
also capable of detecting severe increasing performance shears (increasing headwind/decreasing tailwind and/or up
draft). While these shears may not present an immediate danger to the aircraft, these shears can indicate that the
atmospheric instability is such that an encounter with a severe decreasing performance shear is likely.
A detected increasing performance shear will result in an aural “CAUTION WINDSHEAR” enunciation and cockpit
light annunciation when enabled. A detected decreasing performance shear will result in an aural siren followed by
“WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR” with a corresponding cockpit warning light annunciation.
2.2.8 ENVELOPE MODULATION (NOT AVAILABLE IN MK VI/VIII -001)

Envelope Modulation provides improved alert protection and expanded alerting margins at identified key locations
throughout the world. Due to terrain features at or near certain specific airports, normal operations have resulted in
nuisance or missed alerts at these locations in the past. With the introduction of accurate position information and a
terrain and airport database, it is now possible to identify these areas and adjust the normal alerting process to
compensate for the condition.
Modes 4, 5, and 6 are expanded at certain locations to provide alerting protection consistent with normal
approaches. Modes 1, 2, and 4 are desensitized at other locations to prevent nuisance alerts that result from
unusual terrain or approach procedures. In all cases, very specific information is used to correlate the aircraft
position and phase of flight prior to modulating the envelopes. This function is automatic and transparent to crew
operation.
2.2.9 TERRAIN CLEARANCE FLOOR AND RUNWAY FIELD CLEARANCE FLOOR

The Terrain Clearance Floor (TCF) alerting function adds an additional element of protection to the standard Ground
Proximity Warning System for fixed-wing aircraft. It creates an increasing terrain clearance envelope around the
airport runway to provide CFIT protection against situations where Mode 4 provides limited or no protection. TCF
alerts are based on current aircraft location, destination runway center point position, and Radio Altitude (altitude
AGL). TCF is active during takeoff, cruise, and final approach. TCF complements the existing Mode 4 protection by
providing an alert based on insufficient terrain clearance even when in landing configuration.
The TCF function is enhanced in all fixed-wing models (beginning with release –210-210 for the MK V/VII) with the
addition of a Runway Field Clearance Floor (RFCF) alerting function. RFCF is based on current aircraft location,
destination runway center point position, and Geometric Altitude or altitude Above Sea Level (ASL) relative to the
destination runway. RFCF provides short landing protection for runways that are significantly higher than the
surrounding terrain.
When an aircraft penetrates either the TCF or the RFCF alert envelope, the aural message “TOO LOW TERRAIN”
will occur. This aural message will occur once when initial envelope penetration occurs, and one time thereafter for
each 20% degradation in either Altitude (AGL) or Altitude (ASL) depending on which envelope was violated (TCF or
RFCF respectively). EGPWS cockpit alert annunciations remain illuminated until the alert envelope is exited. The
TCF and RFCF functions are not available in the MK XXII.
2.2.9.1 RUNWAY DATABASE

The EGPWS Runway Database consists of data records for all airport runways offered for the coverage provided by
the Terrain Database. For the MK V and MK VII, all hard surface runways in the world 3500 feet or greater in length
are supported. For the MK VI, all runways 2000 feet or greater in length within the database region installed are
supported. The MK VIII has the ability to select >2000 foot or >3500 foot runway lengths. For the MK XXII, only
runways 2000 feet or greater with a published approach procedure are included. The database provides the means
of accessing the records of runways closest to the current aircraft position.
2.2.10 TERRAIN ALERTING AND DISPLAY (OPTIONAL)

The Terrain Alerting and Display (TAD) function monitors aircraft position with respect to local database-cataloged
terrain to provide rapid audio and visual alerts when a terrain threat is detected. Terrain threats are recognized and
annunciated when terrain violates specific computed envelope boundaries forward of the aircraft path. The terrain
database also includes obstacles (when and where available) providing similar annunciations when cataloged
obstacles violate the same envelope boundaries.
Terrain Alerting outputs (lights and audio) behaves in the same manner as the standard GPWS mode alerts. Either
caution or warning alerts will initiate a specific audio alert phrase. The caution aural is “CAUTION TERRAIN” or
“CAUTION OBSTACLE” and the warning aural is “TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP” or “OBSTACLE, OBSTACLE,
PULL UP” (minor variations exist).
Complementing the terrain threat alerts, the EGPWS also maintains a synthetic image of local terrain forward of the
aircraft for display on EFIS Navigation Displays (ND’s), Multi-Functional Displays (MFD’s), or Weather Radar
Indicators. The EGPWS may be configured to automatically de-select the Weather Display and pop-up a display of
the terrain threats when they occur. The logic used for these configurable controls also provides an external input
for predictive windshear alerts that can override a Terrain Display and revert to the weather display with the
corresponding windshear data.
The EGPWS provides up to two optional external displays outputs, each with independent range-scaling control in
the same fashion as weather radar with more than one indicator. Changes of range scaling to one display do not
affect the other display. Each of these two independent outputs may be used to drive more than one display.
2.2.10.1 TERRAIN AND OBSTACLE DATABASE

The EGPWS Terrain Database is the earth’s surface divided into grid sets and cells referenced to the geographic
(latitude/longitude) coordinate system of the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84). Elements of the grid sets
include the highest terrain altitude (above MSL) in each cells respective area. Grid sets vary in resolution depending
on geographic location. Because the overwhelming majority of “Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT)” accidents
occur near an airport, and the fact that aircraft operate in closer proximity to terrain near an airport, higher resolution
grids are used around airports. Lower resolution grids are used outside of airport areas where aircraft altitude
enroute makes CFIT accidents unlikely and for which detailed terrain features are not important to the flight crew.
Digital Elevation Models (DEM’s) are available for most of the airports around the world today. In cases where data
is not currently available, DEM’s are generated from available topographic maps, sectional charts, and airline
approach plates. The process of acquiring, generating, assembling, and updating the database is governed by strict
configuration controls to insure the highest level of data integrity for generation of the EGPWS Terrain Database.
The EGPWS Terrain Database is organized in a flexible and expandable manner. Using digital compression
techniques, the complete database is stored in non-volatile memory within the LRU. Updates and additions are
easily accomplished via a PCMCIA card interface.
The Obstacle Database (in MK V and MK VII -204-204 and later, and MK VI, MK VIII and MK XXII) is a separate file
included within the terrain database. Both files are loaded into the EGPWS in the terrain database PCMCIA card.
The obstacle database is accessed by the EGPWC application software only if obstacle alerting is enabled by
installation configuration. The obstacle data is processed by the EGPWS in the same fashion as terrain, and is
presented on the display as terrain (uses same coloring scheme).
MK V, MK VII, and MK VIII EGPWS utilize a worldwide Terrain Database. The MK VI EGPWS utilizes a regional
Terrain Database consisting of one of the following regions:
• the Americas Region (designated “N”) for all of North, Central, and South America,
• the Atlantic Region (designated “A”) covering Greenland, Europe, Africa, and Asia,
• the Pacific Region (designated “P”) covering Europe, East Africa, Asia, Australia, the Pacific Ocean (to 120W
longitude including most of the US west coast).
The MK XXII utilizes 11 regional databases. For either worldwide or regional Terrain Databases, the Obstacle
Database currently covers cataloged obstacles (see Section 1.3) that are 100 feet high or higher. The MK XXII
database of obstacles is unique in the inclusion of oil rigs.
2.2.11 PEAKS DISPLAY MODE (OPTIONAL)

As an enhancement to the “standard” EGPWS terrain display, the Peaks Mode (when enabled by the installation
configuration) allows terrain below the aircraft to be viewed on the EGPWS terrain display during all phases of flight
(for MK V and MK VII -206-206 and later, and MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII). At altitudes safely above terrain for the
chosen display range, the terrain is displayed independent of aircraft altitude emphasizing the highest and lowest
displayed elevations to provide enhanced situational awareness. This can be particularly valuable to the flight crew
in case of an unplanned descent or off-route deviation and for previewing terrain prior to or during descent.
The EGPWS terrain display uses colors and shading patterns corresponding to the vertical displacement between
terrain elevation and the current altitude of the aircraft. With the “standard” display, terrain more than 2000 feet
below the aircraft is not displayed typically leaving the terrain display blank during the enroute portion of flight. The
Peaks Mode Display adds additional density patterns and level thresholds based on terrain elevations relative to the
range and distribution of terrain in the display area. The Peaks Mode is thus a “merged” display applicable to all
phases of flight.
Within the Peaks Mode display, two elevation numbers indicate the highest and lowest terrain currently being
displayed. The elevation numbers indicate terrain in hundreds of feet Above Sea Level (ASL). The terrain elevation
numbers are displayed with the “highest” terrain number on top, and the “lowest” terrain number beneath it. The
“highest” terrain number is shown in the same color as the highest terrain color pattern on the display, and the
“lowest” terrain number is shown in the color of the lowest terrain color pattern shown on the display. A single
elevation number is displayed when there is no appreciable difference in terrain elevations such as when flying over
water (displayed blue on some display systems) or flat terrain. The elevation numbers on the display are also an
indication that the terrain display is selected.
2.2.12 GEOMETRIC ALTITUDE (GPS REQUIRED)

Geometric Altitude (for MK V and MK VII -206-206 and later, and MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII) is a computed
pseudo-Corrected Barometric Altitude (computed altitude “Above Sea Level” - ASL). This is designed to ensure
optimal operation of the EGPWS enhanced functions through all phases of flight and atmospheric conditions.
Geometric Altitude uses GPS Altitude, an improved pressure altitude calculation, Radio Altitude, and Terrain and
Runway elevation data to reduce or eliminate errors potentially induced into Corrected Barometric Altitude by
temperature extremes, non-standard altitude conditions, and altimeter miss-sets. Geometric Altitude also allows
continuous EGPWS operations in QFE environments without custom inputs or special operational procedures.
2.2.13 WEATHER RADAR AUTOTILT (MK V AND MK VII ONLY)

MK V and MK VII EGPWS (-210-210 and later) provide an automatic Weather Radar tilt angle capability. The Auto-
Tilt function uses aircraft altitude above the terrain and the terrain database to generate an optimum tilt angle for the
Weather Radar. The Auto-Tilt angle results in minimum ground clutter on the display while maintaining the optimum
weather detection capability. With manual tilt control, there can be over-scan where weather cells and terrain are
below the antenna beam scan resulting in a blank display. Alternately, under-scan, where the antennas scan is
hitting the ground below the weather cells, results in ground clutter display. The calculated tilt angle is transmitted
on the ARINC 429-output bus (labels 061, 062, 063, 064, and 065) for any compatible Weather Radar system. See
the appropriate Part Number ICD for complete Label definitions.
2.2.14 SYSTEM DISPLAY AND ANNUNCIATION
In addition to the aural (voice) alerts provided over the cockpit speaker and interphone system, the EGPWS drives
cockpit annunciators and/or Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) with system status and alert annunciations.
For some EFIS displays, the EGPWS is designed to interface and display the EGPWS terrain video as well as alert
annunciations directly onto the EFIS without the use of external relays or annunciators. This is referred to as an
“integrated” EFIS display. For other displays (some EFIS and all Radar Indicators), the terrain video is relay
switched into the display system externally taking the place of weather radar video. In this case, external switching
and annunciation is required. This is referred to as a “Bolt-On” display. The interface and display characteristics are
defined for each display system and programmed into the EGPWC as part of the configuration software.
Cockpit annunciations can vary somewhat aircraft to aircraft or operator to operator. In addition, several system
options are defined by the installation configuration. One of these is EGPWS lamp format. Two formats are
provided; Lamp Format 1 and Lamp Format 2. They are described and illustrated in the next page.
2.2.15 RUNWAY AWARENESS AND ADVISORY SYSTEM (OPTION FOR MK V AND MK VII
ONLY)
The Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) offers significant safety enhancements for aircraft
equipped with Honeywell’s MK V or MK VII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). Honeywell’s
Runway Awareness and Advisory System is a software enhancement hosted in the EGPWS Unit. RAAS uses GPS
position data and the Honeywell EGPWS Database to provide aural advisories and alerts that supplement flight
crew awareness of position during ground operations and on approach to landing. EGPWS protection and operation
is unaltered by the addition of RAAS. RAAS installation is accomplished via a configuration database upload. The
installation does require that the EGPWS has a source of GPS data, software -218-218 (or -002 or -051) or later,
Terrain Database version 435 or later (454 or later if using software -230-230 or later), and the RAAS Configuration
Database (RCD) or Reloadable Customer Definitions (RCD) is loaded. When enabled, RAAS operates
automatically, without any action required from the flight crew. RAAS availability can be verified by performing an
EGPWS self test. See Appendix C for RAAS Maintenance Messages.
2.2.16 STABILIZED APPROACH MONITOR (OPTION FOR MK V AND MK VII ONLY)

The Stabilized Approach Monitor function offers significant safety enhancements for aircraft equipped with
Honeywell’s MK V or MK VII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). Honeywell’s Stabilized
Approach Monitor is a software enhancement hosted in the EGPWS Unit. Stabilized Approach Monitor uses GPS
position data and the Honeywell EGPWS Database to provide aural advisories and alerts that supplement flight
crew awareness of unstabilized approach to landing. EGPWS protection and operation is unaltered by the addition
of Stabilized Approach Monitor. Stabilized Approach Monitor installation is accomplished via a configuration
database upload. The installation does require that the EGPWS has a source of GPS data, software -230-230 or
later, Terrain Database version 454 or later, and the Reloadable Customer Definitions (RCD) is loaded. When
enabled, Stabilized Approach Monitor operates automatically, without any action required from the flight crew.
Stabilized Approach Monitor availability can be verified by performing an EGPWS self test. See Appendix D for
Stabilized Approach Monitor Maintenance Messages.
2.2.17 ALTIMETER MONITOR (OPTION FOR MK V AND MK VII ONLY)

The Altimeter Monitor function offers significant safety enhancements for aircraft equipped with Honeywell’s MK V or
MK VII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). Honeywell’s Altimeter Monitor is a software
enhancement hosted in the EGPWS Unit. Altimeter Monitor compares Corrected Altitude to the EGPWS blended
Geometric Altitude solution to provide aural advisories that supplement flight crew awareness of incorrect altimeter
setting or problems with the pressure altitude system. EGPWS protection and operation is unaltered by the addition
of Altimeter Monitor. Altimeter Monitor installation is accomplished via a configuration database upload. The
installation does require that the EGPWS has a source of GPS data, software -230-230 or later, Terrain Database
version 454 or later, and the Reloadable Customer Definitions (RCD) is loaded. When enabled, Altimeter Monitor
operates automatically, without any action required from the flight crew. Altimeter Monitor availability can be verified
by performing an EGPWS self test. See Appendix E for Altimeter Monitor Maintenance Messages.
2.2.18 TAKEOFF FLAP CONFIGURATION MONITOR (OPTION FOR MK V AND MK VII

ONLY)
The Takeoff Flap Configuration Monitor function offers significant safety enhancements for aircraft equipped with
Honeywell’s MK V or MK VII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). Honeywell’s Takeoff Flap
Configuration Monitor is a software enhancement hosted in the EGPWS Unit. Takeoff Flap Configuration Monitor
uses GPS position data, Flap angle inputs, and the Honeywell EGPWS Database to provide aural alerts that
supplement flight crew awareness of improper flap setting when the aircraft is aligned on a runway prior to takeoff.
EGPWS protection and operation is unaltered by the addition of Takeoff Flap Configuration Monitor. Takeoff Flap
Configuration Monitor installation is accomplished via a configuration database upload. The installation does require
that the EGPWS has a source of GPS data, flap angle input, software -230-230 or later, Terrain Database version
454 or later, and the Reloadable Customer Definitions (RCD) is loaded. When enabled, Takeoff Flap Configuration
Monitor operates automatically, without any action required from the flight crew. Takeoff Flap Configuration Monitor
availability can be verified by performing an EGPWS self test. See Appendix F for Takeoff Flap Configuration
Monitor Maintenance Messages.
2.2.19 LONG LANDING MONITOR (OPTION FOR MK V AND MK VII ONLY)

The Long Landing Monitor function offers significant safety enhancements for aircraft equipped with Honeywell’s MK
V or MK VII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). Honeywell’s Long Landing Monitor is a
software enhancement hosted in the EGPWS Unit. Long Landing Monitor uses GPS position data and the
Honeywell EGPWS Database to provide aural alerts that supplement flight crew awareness of their position during a
landing when the aircraft has not touched down in a nominal amount of time and/or distance. EGPWS protection
and operation is unaltered by the addition of Long Landing Monitor. Long Landing Monitor installation is
accomplished via a configuration database upload. The installation does require that the EGPWS has a source of
GPS data, software -230-230 or later, Terrain Database version 454 or later, and the Reloadable Customer
Definitions (RCD) is loaded. When enabled, Long Landing Monitor operates automatically, without any action
required from the flight crew. Long Landing Monitor availability can be verified by performing an EGPWS self test.
See Appendix G for Long Landing Monitor Maintenance Messages.
2.2.20 LOW AIRSPEED MONITOR (MK V BOEING 737NG ONLY)

The Low Airspeed Monitor function offers significant safety enhancements for Boeing 737NG aircraft equipped with
Honeywell’s MK V Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). Honeywell’s Low Airspeed Monitor is
a software enhancement hosted in the EGPWS Unit. Low Airspeed Monitor uses Minimum Operating Speed and
Stick Shaker Speed input from the Stall Management and Yaw Damper computers to provide an aural alert that
supplements flight crew awareness that their airspeed had passes below 70% of the amber airspeed band. EGPWS
protection and operation is unaltered by the addition of Low Airspeed Monitor. Low Airspeed Monitor installation is
accomplished via an application software upload. The installation does require that the EGPWS has software -232-
232 or later loaded. When installed, Low Airspeed Monitor operates automatically, without any action required from
the flight crew. Low Airspeed Monitor availability can be verified by performing an EGPWS self test. See Appendix
H for Low Airspeed Monitor Maintenance Messages.
2.2.21 HELICOPTER MODE 3B – LOSS OF AIRSPEED AFTER TAKEOFF (OPTION FOR MK

XXII ONLY)
The MK XXII has an optional Mode 3B that provides protection against loss of airspeed on takeoff. A reduction of
airspeed to below 55 knots after attaining 60 knots generates the aural “CHECK AIRSPEED” and activates an
amber caution indication. The function is enabled at installation time with a configuration option.
2.2.22 HELICOPTER MODE 7 – LOW AIRSPEED / POWER DURING APPROACH (OPTION

FOR MK XXII ONLY)
The Helicopter Mode 7 alert provides protection against loss of airspeed on approach using input parameters of
Indicated Airspeed (IAS) and Total Torque. This envelope is inhibited below a height of 50 ft to avoid unwanted
alerts during a rejected take-off following an engine failure.
The function is enabled at installation time with configuration options to tailor the envelopes to individual helicopter
types.
The flight deck effect for the Mode 7 Alert is a “Check Airspeed” aural accompanied by an amber caution visual
displayed on a HTAWS cockpit display or annunciator.
2.2.23 LAMP FORMAT

The EGPWS contains two different caution/warning lamp illumination formats as described below.
Lamp Format 1 provides EGPWS warning (red) and caution (amber) alert lamp drive logic such that:
• Only a Mode 5 “Glideslope” alert will activate the caution lamp output (amber).
• All other alerts (except “windshear” and Mode 6 callouts) will activate the warning lamp output (red).

EGPWS caution or warning alerts lamp driver outputs are activated for all Mode 1-5 GPWS alerts and Terrain or
Obstacle alerts when enabled. Windshear warning and caution alerts activate separate lamp outputs when enabled.
2.3 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
2.3.1 MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY

The EGPWS is an “on-condition” only maintenance system. No scheduled maintenance is required. This is
accomplished by both continuous Built-In-Test (BIT) and event initiated test functions. Event initiated test refers to
both power-up tests and manually activated Self-Tests. Results of these functions are indicated by system status
indicators and messages so that the systems functionality can be assessed.
Detected faults are indicated to the flight crew during normal flight operations by system status annunciators or flight
display (EFIS) messages in the cockpit (i.e., GPWS INOP or FAIL, W/S INOP or FAIL, TERR INOP or NOT
AVAILABLE). On the ground, system status indications are expanded to direct fault isolation to the fault source
whether internal or external to the EGPWC. Several levels of reporting are provided by the EGPWS Self-Test, and
multiple means are provided to access the information. The intent is to provide information that will encourage the
line mechanic to correct the real problem through clear fault messages and minimal effort.
2.3.2 SYSTEM OPERATION DURING AN INOP CONDITION

EGPWS continued airworthiness is predicated on system status indications. An indication of TERR INOP (only) or
NOT AVAILABLE (only) is likely to indicate a loss of necessary GPS data for performing Terrain Alerting and Display
functions, but has no effect on basic GPWS (Modes 1-7) functions. Additionally, a GPWS INOP (only) indicates a
loss of basic GPWS functions, but this could be limited to say Mode 4 only because of a loss of necessary data
required for that mode alone. In any case, the EGPWS will provide alerting based on the current capability of the
EGPWC and its inputs.
For the MK VI and MK XXII, consideration should be given to any operation that will cross the boundaries of the
regional database. Although this has no effect on the basic GPWS functions, the enhanced (TAD/TCF) functions
will become inoperative once the aircraft leaves the database region. This is indicated by the TERR INOP or NOT
AVAILABLE status indicator and the loss of terrain display when enabled and active.
2.3.3 BIT DESCRIPTION

The EGPWC contains an extensive BIT capability. The BIT functions provide high confidence that the Warning
Computer and interface signal sources are operating properly, and that the EGPWS will perform its intended
function. Detected failures are indicated via GPWS INOP, Windshear INOP, and Terrain INOP/NA annunciations
and on the ARINC 429 bus output. Failures detected during flight are saved in the flight history and are enunciated
during Level 4 of the cockpit Self-Test. BIT status is also available through the RS-232 port by use of a PC or
terminal.
If the EGPWC detects an internal Warning Computer fault, it will turn on all the INOP lights. If the EGPWC detects
an external input fault, it may or may not turn on the INOP light(s) depending on the input fault, the type of
installation, and whether the aircraft is airborne or on the ground.
The EGPWC BIT performs three types of functions: Operation Monitoring, Operation Tests, and Restricted Tests.
Operation Monitoring consists of software checks that are performed as part of the normal Warning Computer
processing. Operation Monitoring includes checks of data values and program flow control variables used for the
warning computations to ensure they are within expected ranges. The statuses of various EGPWC hardware sub-
systems are continuously verified including core processor checks, voice generator circuitry checks, and ARINC 429
wrap-around tests. Operation Monitoring also includes extensive testing of the input signals to ensure the EGPWC
is using proper data for its calculations.
Operation Tests run during normal operation without disrupting the EGPWC warning calculations or annunciations.
Operations Tests include CPU instruction set tests, A/D tolerance tests, ROM check-sum verification tests, and non-
destructive RAM tests. Operation Tests are scheduled by the operating system to be performed between the
routines required for normal operation.
Restricted Tests destroy data or take an excessive amount of time to complete and cannot be run during normal
system operation. These tests are usually run during system power up or during a cockpit initiated Self-Test. These
tests primarily consist of more thorough hardware checks that would disrupt normal operation if continuously run.
2.3.4 EGPWC FRONT PANEL

To aid in troubleshooting the EGPWS, the front panel of the Warning Computer provides indicators and user
interfaces as follows.
2.3.4.1 EGPWS STATUS LED’S

Three LED’s on the EGPWC front panel provide a high level indication of overall system status. These are:
• a yellow “External Fault” LED
• a green “Computer OK” LED
• a red “Computer Fail” LED
The yellow “External Fault” LED indicates that a fault external to the EGPWC exists. The green “Computer OK” LED
indicates that the EGPWC is operating correctly with no internal faults. The red “Computer Fail” LED indicates that
the EGPWC has an internal fault. Further explanation of internal and external faults is given in Section 3.4.1 and
Section 3.4.2.
*Useful Tip #1 – The red Computer Fail LED illuminated does not guarantee the EGPWS is failed. It is possible for
invalid strapping/wiring (MK V/VII only) to cause the LED to illuminate. Before returning a MK V/VII for repair,
bench test the unit with power/ground applied, making sure to ground the parity pin. If the red Computer Fail LED
does not illuminate during this bench test, the aircraft wiring is causing the Computer Fail condition.
2.3.4.2 FRONT PANEL SELF-TEST INTERFACE (MK V AND MK VII ONLY)

The EGPWC front panel provides a Self-Test switch for activating Self-Test features described in Section 2.3.5.
This switch functions the same as cockpit Self-Test switches.
2.3.4.3 AUDIO JACK (MK V AND MK VII ONLY)
The EGPWC front panel provides a headphone jack for use during Self-Test. The audio jack is a standard 600Ω
monophonic audio output compatible with a standard 2-connector ¼" audio plug headphones.
2.3.4.4 FRONT PANEL PCMCIA INTERFACE

For the MK V and MK VII, a PCMCIA card slot is provided in the front panel. For the MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII
the PCMCIA interface utilizes an external PCMCIA interface called a “SmartCable” connected to the front panel Test
Connector.
The PCMCIA interface provides a data downloading capability (either loading a new database from a PCMCIA Card
or downloading history data from the EGPWC to a Fault History Card).
2.3.4.5 FRONT PANEL TEST CONNECTOR

The EGPWC front panel Test Connector provides communications support capabilities intended for maintenance
and test functions. For the MK V and MK VII, this includes RS-232 and 422 communications. For the MK VI, MK
VIII, and MK XXII this includes RS-232, power, and signals used for PCMCIA (SmartCable) operation. These serve
as access to EGPWS signal monitoring, flight history, initiating BITE tests, updating databases, and other functions.
The interface is full duplex and is intended for human interaction using custom interface programs such as the
Honeywell WinVIEWS© utility (see Appendix A).
2.3.5 SELF-TEST FUNCTIONS

The EGPWC supports a manually operated Self-Test sequence for indicating the operational status of the system.
The Self-Test aurally enunciates the EGPWS status and activates outputs (lights and displays) for visual verification.
The EGPWC Self-Test includes detailed configuration and status information for the EGPWC and aircraft
installation, maintenance information detailing the cause of detected faults, and historical information about faults
and alerts that occurred during previous flights. The Self-Test Function can only be accessed while on the ground.
NOTE: Self-Test can be inhibited based on several configuration conditions (see Self-Test Preamble section 3.3.1).
EGPWS Self-Test is divided into six levels:
• Level 1 — Identifies the status of each of the major functions of the EGPWS. This is the normal pre-flight test
performed by the flight crew.
• Level 2 — Identifies all failures currently within the system. Level 2 is accessed by maintenance personnel to
help resolve INOP conditions.
• Level 3 — Identifies the configuration status of the Warning Computer and the installation.
• Level 4 — Identifies faults that have occurred during past flights. This information can be used to resolve
system problems reported by the flight crews.
• Level 5 — Identifies alerts that have occurred during past flights. This information can be used to resolve
system problems reported by the flight crews.
• Level 6 — Identifies state changes in the input discretes. This information can be used to verify the installation
and proper function of all discrete inputs.
Self-Test aural is heard over the cockpit speaker, cockpit interphone system, or through the headphone jack on the
EGPWC front panel (MK V and MK VII only). Details of these Self-Test levels are provided in Fault Isolation
Section 3.
3 FAULT ISOLATION (TROUBLESHOOTING)
3.1 GENERAL
The troubleshooting methods provided in this section identify system and sensor or subsystem faults to the lowest
level possible. Additional fault isolation in the installation or associated sensors or subsystem should be performed
using the aircraft installation and wiring diagrams and other supporting documentation in accordance with
established maintenance procedures.
Do not remove or replace the EGPWC until all associated sensors or subsystems and their interfaces have been
verified per established maintenance procedures and the fault is isolated to the EGPWC. If the troubleshooting
methods determine that the EGPWC is faulty, then the EGPWC should be replaced per Section 6. Route the faulty
EGPWC to an authorized repair facility for repair.
3.2 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

In general, if any EGPWS Inoperative status is indicated, the EGPWC front panel LED’s should be checked. The
following table shows the recommended maintenance action in response to the front panel LED’s.
EXTERNAL COMPUTER COMPUTER

FAULT OK FAIL CORRECTIVE ACTION
OFF GREEN OFF Normal operation.
YELLOW GREEN OFF Troubleshoot external faults using the Level 2 Self-
Test. DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE THE EGPWC
OFF OFF OFF Ensure that the EGPWC is installed in the rack
correctly and power to the EGPWC is turned on.
OFF OFF RED Record the Level 2 Self-Test, if possible. Remove and
replace the EGPWC if required.
OFF GREEN RED Record the Level 2 Self-Test, if possible. Remove and
replace the EGPWC if required.
YELLOW OFF OFF Troubleshoot external faults using the Level 2 Self-
Test. DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE THE EGPWC
YELLOW OFF RED Troubleshoot external faults using the Level 2 Self-
Test. Remove and replace the EGPWC if required.
YELLOW GREEN RED Record the Level 2 Self-Test, if possible. Troubleshoot
external faults using the Level 2 Self-Test. Remove
and replace the EGPWC if required.
A Terrain INOP light rarely implies an external or internal failure of the EGPWC. The Terrain INOP light may turn on
if the required accuracy of the position information is not being received from the GPS, IRS, or the FMC. Therefore,
if the Terrain INOP light is reported to be on (or was on), perform a Level 2 Self-Test. If no faults are present, verify
that position data from the GPS, IRS, or FMC is correct (note: this sentence does not apply to internal GPS
engines).
NOTE: The Computer Fail Light will illuminate during some ground test procedures that use the WinVIEWS
Software utility, even although no fault exists. The EGPWS Computer Fail Light will extinguish after testing
has completed.
The following sections detail the operation of the EGPWS Self-Test and its use in troubleshooting EGPWS faults,
when initiated by EGPWS Self-Test switches in the aircraft. Reference is made to a “short cancel” and a “long
cancel”. A “short cancel” is defined as depressing the Self-Test switch (either in the cockpit or on the EGPWC front
panel) for less than 2 seconds. A “long cancel” is defined as depressing the Self-Test switch (either in the cockpit or
on the EGPWC front panel) for more than 2 seconds (but not longer than 59 seconds or a fault is indicated and Self-
Test is exited). The effect of these is indicated in each section.
3.3 LEVEL 1 SELF-TEST - GO/NO GO TEST

Level 1 Self-Test provides an overview of the current operational capability of the EGPWS. It is divided into 3
functions - the Preamble, Short Level 1 Self-Test, and Long Level 1 Self-Test as described in the following sections.
During Level 1 Self-Test, a Short Cancel terminates the Self-Test level and “CURRENT FAULTS” is enunciated to
indicate activation of Level 2 Self-Test. A Long Cancel terminates the entire Self-Test sequence exiting Self-Test.
3.3.1 SELF-TEST PREAMBLE

When Self-Test is initiated, the Preamble is performed. This first step in the Self-Test process checks for
configuration errors before starting the Short or Long Level 1 Self-Test process. If any are detected, the condition is
enunciated and the Self-Test process is automatically terminated (inhibited). These are listed below with the
associated probable cause and action.

3.3.2 SHORT LEVEL 1 SELF-TEST

The Short Level 1 Self-Test is intended to provide a Go/No Go confidence test to indicate EGPWS functionality. It
indicates which Modes of the EGPWC are currently not available and activates system outputs. The short Level 1
Self-Test is a subset of the Long Level 1 Self-Test.
Upon successful completion of the preamble the short Self-Test is started. A Short Level 1 Self-Test sequence
(following the Preamble) is as follows:
• GPWS INOP, Windshear INOP, Terrain INOP (or Terrain Not Available) lights turn on *
• Amber caution (GPWS or Below G/S) lights turn on
• Voice: “GLIDESLOPE”
• Amber caution (GPWS or Below G/S) lights turns off
• G/S Cancel light turns on (if installed)
• G/S Cancel light turns off (if installed)
• Red Warning (Pull Up or GPWS) lights turns on
• Voice: “PULL UP”
• Red Warning (Pull Up or GPWS) lights turns off
• Red Windshear Warning lights turns on
• Voice: “(SIREN) WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR”
• Red Windshear Warning lights turns off
• Amber Windshear Caution lights turns on (if installed)
• Amber Windshear Caution lights turns off (if installed)
• Red Warning (Pull Up or GPWS) lights turns on
• Voice: “TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP” (or “WARNING TERRAIN” for MK XXII)
• Terrain test pattern is displayed
• If RAAS is enabled, a RAAS Maintenance Message from Table C1-1 will be enunciated.
• If Stabilized Approach Monitor is enabled but inoperative or inhibited, it will be enunciated.
• If Altimeter Monitor is enabled but inoperative, it will be enunciated.
• If Takeoff Flap Configuration Monitor is enabled but inoperative or inhibited, it will be enunciated.
• If Low Airspeed Monitor is enabled, a Maintenance Message from Table H1-1 will be enunciated.
• Red Warning (Pull Up or GPWS) lights turns off
• Terrain test pattern is turned off (after several sweeps)
• GPWS INOP, Windshear INOP, and Terrain INOP (or Terrain Not Available) lights turn off
Installations that do not have the windshear function or the function enabled will not enunciate the windshear
message and illuminate windshear alert lights. Similarly, installations without the Terrain Alerting and Display (TAD)
function enabled will not have terrain lights and display or “TERRAIN” aural enunciation.
• NOTE: The general sequence of the LEVEL 1 SELF-TEST is the same for all installations. The actual
aural message and nomenclature of the Alert/warning lamps will vary.
• NOTE: Ensure that none of the RAAS maintenance messages or RAAS On-Ground (display) status messages
listed in Appendix C of this document is enunciated during the Level 1 Self-Test or terrain display range
changes (respectively) unless RAAS is activated for your aircraft. See the applicable aircraft AFMS and/or
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICAW) documentation to determine if RAAS is activated.
• NOTE: An enunciation of “GPS NOT NAVIGATING” during the Level 1 Self-Test indicates that the Internal P-
xPress GPS engine has not acquired sufficient satellites to navigate. If this message is enunciated, ensure the
aircraft is in full view of the constellation for at least 20 minutes. If this does not resolve the enunciation, verify
all interfaces of the coax cable from the antenna to the EGPWC.
3.3.3 LONG LEVEL 1 SELF-TEST

The Long Level 1 Self-Test is initiated by pressing and holding Self-Test until Self-Test voices start. The Long Level
1 Self-Test enunciates all configured and activated alert voices, including warning voices, caution voices, and
altitude callout voices immediately following the Short Level 1 Self-Test sequence above.
3.4 LEVEL 2 SELF-TEST - CURRENT FAULTS

Level 2 Self-Test provides enunciation of all faults existing at the time of the test request. Level 2 Self-Test is
initiated by pressing Self-Test within 3 seconds of the end of Level 1 Self-Test or following a short cancel during
Level 1 Self-Test.
If a fault is detected, it will be classified as either an internal or an external fault. Internal faults are defined as those
faults that originate within the EGPWC. Internal faults will turn on the red “COMPUTER FAIL” LED on the EGPWC
front panel. External faults are defined as those faults that originate from sources outside the EGPWC. External
faults will turn on the amber “EXTERNAL FAULT” LED on the EGPWC front panel.
Note that for the EGPWS/GNSSU (-060 MK V/VII), both internal and external fault lights will be lit if there is a
problem with the integral GNSSU subsystem.
If the EGPWC is connected to a GPS or GNSSU for position information (internal or external), various navigation
data status messages may also be listed during Level 2 Self Test. These messages indicate that there is a problem
with the position data, caused by antenna problems, satellite visibility or multi-path errors.
*Useful Tip #2 – Pressing the GPWS test switch for more than 2 seconds during Level 2 through 5 will bypass the
test information and will immediately jump to the end of that level (“PRESS TO CONTINUE” voice). GPWS INOP,
Windshear INOP, and Terrain INOP (or Terrain Not Available) lights are turned on (or remain on) for the duration of
the Level 2 Self-Test.
3.4.1 CURRENT FAULTS - INTERNAL

An internal fault indicates a problem with the EGPWC. The following table lists the internal fault messages and the
probable maintenance response.
Note: “NO FAULTS” is enunciated for Level 2 Self-Test if no faults are present.

Action: Remove and replace the EGPWC.
Notes: If external faults also exist, these should be eliminated, and the internal faults rechecked before the EGPWC
is removed and replaced.
* Power unit on bench with parity pin strapped, and verify the failure is cleared.
** If the EGPWC incorporates the integral Mercury GNSSU (-060 hardware part numbers), both internal and external
faults will be indicated. This fault can also be indicated if there is no antenna connection to the GNSSU. Before
replacing the EGPWC/GNSSU, ensure that the antenna is connected and that no antenna wiring breaks exist.
*** Invalid Latitude/Longitude causes a Mag Var table fault which may be annunciated as “Terrain Database Failed.”
This can be caused by not connecting the GPS antenna.
3.4.2 CURRENT FAULTS - EXTERNAL

An external fault indicates a problem with an external sensor, system, or wiring. External faults are further broken
down in to sub-categories; Discrete Faults, ARINC 429 Bus Activity Faults, Analog Input Wire Monitoring Faults,
ARINC 429 Signal Faults, Analog Signal Faults, and Program Pin or Configuration Module Faults. The following
table provides a few examples of these.

messages would be enunciated:
“CURRENT FAULTS”
“EGPWC OK”
“EXTERNAL FAULTS”
“AIR DATA BUS 1 COMPUTED AIRSPEED FAULT”
“PRESS TO CONTINUE”
NOTE: Before attempting to correct an external fault, verify that the EGPWS installation configuration matches the
aircraft configuration. If the installation configuration and aircraft configuration does not match, check the Program
Pin or Configuration Module connections being sure to cycle power to the EGPWC in the process. If an incorrect
aircraft configuration exists, the Program Pins must be changed or the Configuration Module may need to be
reprogrammed (see Maintenance Practices) or replaced (see Removal/Installation section).
If the unit is a MK V or MK VII with integral GNSSU (-060 part number), and external faults are indicated on GPS
signals (e.g., GPS BUS 1 LATITUDE FAULT), an internal fault may exist. In this case both fault lights will be on and
the message INTERNAL GPS FAULT will also be indicated. This condition can also be caused by a disconnected or
broken antenna wire. Ensure good antenna connection before replacing the EGPWS/GNSSU.
If no faults are detected, the following messages will be enunciated:
“NO FAULTS”
If no faults are detected, but the GPS or GNSSU are not navigating properly, navigation status messages may be
enunciated as follows:
“NO FAULTS”
Navigation Status Messages “PRESS TO CONTINUE”
The list of possible navigation problems is listed in Table 3–6. In these instances, no fault lamps will be lit on the

3.6 LEVEL 4 SELF-TEST - FAULT HISTORY

Level 4 Self-Test provides enunciation of the faults recorded over the last 10 flight legs. Level 4 Self-Test is initiated
by pressing the cockpit Self-Test button within 3 seconds of the end of Level 3 Self-Test.
If any faults were recorded in the last ten flight legs then voice sequence as described in the following table will be
enunciated. Otherwise, the message “NO FAULTS” will be enunciated.
During Level 4 Self-Test, a Short Cancel bumps the enunciation to the next flight leg with faults (if any).
During Level 4 Self-Test, a Long Cancel terminates the Self-Test level and “PRESS TO CONTINUE” is enunciated
for proceeding to Level 5 Self-Test.

Enunciate the number of the most recent flight leg with faults as “FLIGHT X”, where “X” is a number from 1
1.
to 10 where 1 is the most recent flight leg
2. Enunciate any internal faults stored for leg X
3. Enunciate any external faults stored for leg X
4. Increment to next oldest leg with faults (if any) and repeat the above sequence
5. Test proceeds to the next flight leg that contains a fault.
For Example:
If a fault occurred within the previous 10 flight legs the aural messages enunciated will be the same as given in
Level 2 with the added information of which flight leg the fault occurred. For example, if radio altimeter bus 1 failed 4
flights earlier the messages would be:
“FLIGHT 4”
“EGPWC OK”
“EXTERNAL FAULTS”
“RADIO ALTIMETER BUS 1 INACTIVE”
“PRESS TO CONTINUE’
Note that flight 1 is the most recent flight.
3.7 LEVEL 5 SELF-TEST - ALERT HISTORY

Level 5 Self-Test provides enunciation of the alerts (cautions and warnings) recorded over the last 10 flight legs.
Level 5 Self-Test is initiated by pressing the cockpit Self-Test button within 3 seconds of the end of Level 4 Self-
Test.
If any alerts were recorded in the last ten flight legs then voice sequence as described in the following table will be
enunciated. Otherwise, the message “NO WARNINGS” will be enunciated.
During Level 5 Self-Test, a Short Cancel bumps the enunciation to the next flight leg with faults (if any).
During Level 5 Self-Test, a Long Cancel terminates the Self-Test level and “PRESS TO CONTINUE” is enunciated
for proceeding to Level 6 Self-Test.

1. Enunciate the number of the most recent flight leg with alerts as “FLIGHT X”, where “X” is a number from 1
to 10 where 1 is the most recent flight leg
2. Enunciate any alerts stored for leg X
3. Increment to next oldest leg with alerts (if any) and repeat the above sequence
For Example:
If a glideslope alert were given 7 flight legs earlier, the messages would be:
“WARNING HISTORY”
“FLIGHT 7”
“GLIDESLOPE”
3.8 LEVEL 6 SELF-TEST - DISCRETE INPUT TEST

Level 6 Self-Test provides enunciation of any changes in the status of discrete inputs for verification proper function
and discrete input wiring. Level 6 Self-Test is initiated by pressing the cockpit Self-Test button within 3 seconds of
the end of Level 5 Self-Test. The results are indicated in the following sections.
If a state change occurs on any discrete input (other than the Self-Test input as it is directly tested in its use to
control the test sequences), the EGPWC will annunciate the functional name of the discrete followed by its new
state. For example, if the Glideslope Cancel discrete input in the current configuration is defined as ground =
cancel, and the discrete transitions from open to ground, Level 6 Self-Test will say: “GLIDESLOPE CANCELED”. If
the input is only momentarily grounded Level 6 Self-Test will say: “GLIDESLOPE CANCELED - GLIDESLOPE
ENABLED.”
NOTE: Not all discretes are used in an installation; therefore, unused discretes shall not apply. See aircraft wiring
diagrams or the appropriate EGPWS Interface Control Document to determine applicable discretes.
During Level 6 Self-Test the message “DISCRETE INPUT TEST - PRESS TO CANCEL” is enunciated every 60
seconds. This provides additional evidence; along with the continued illumination of the INOP lights/fail
annunciations, that Self-Test is still in progress.
During Level 6 Self-Test, a Short Cancel or Long Cancel terminates Self-Test and “END OF SELF-TEST” is
enunciated. As with all Self-Test levels, if the aircraft goes in air, then Self-Test is terminated.

4 MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
4.1 GENERAL
Normal maintenance activities performed on the EGPWS should follow standard industry maintenance practices.
System maintenance practices may include; updating a database, downloading flight history data, and programming
or reprogramming the MK VI, MK VIII or MK XXII Configuration Module. These are addressed in the following
sections.
4.2 DATABASE UPDATE

The EGPWC uses Terrain, Obstacle, Runway, and Envelope Modulation databases to provide enhanced functions.
The Terrain, Obstacle, and Runway databases are combined and loaded into the EGPWS as one database.
For each new (updated) database, Honeywell will provide a list of changes on the Honeywell Aerospace and
Software Data Services website at https://ads.honeywell.com/. For example, a Terrain database update that
changes terrain only in South America may be of no value to an operator that does not fly in South America. Thus,
this operator would not require the database update. Installation and verification of terrain databases is addressed
in a generic Service Bulletin.
EGPWS databases are not identified on the EGPWC nameplate as a part of the unit part number. However, for the
MK V and MK VII, there is a label on the inside of the front panel maintenance door that can be used for identifying
the installed terrain database. For the MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII a separate label is placed on the unit front panel
identifying the installed Terrain database version number and for the MK VI and MK XXII the database region (see
section 2.2.10.1). Otherwise, the installed databases can be determined in the Level 3 Self-Test (see Section 3.5)
which should always be used to confirm the current database version.
4.2.1 DATABASE UPDATE FREQUENCY

Honeywell is continually striving to improve the EGPWS databases. New terrain, obstacle, or runway data is
obtained by many different means and evaluated and verified before it is processed into an EGPWS database.
Database updates are released on a 56-day cycle.
Honeywell is committed to investigating reported nuisance alerts. When nuisance alerts result from database
problems (accuracy or resolution) Honeywell will make corrections to the database. Nuisance alerts can also result
in changes to the Envelope Modulation database, although this tends to be less frequently updated.
It is up to the EGPWS customer to determine if a specific database update is applicable to their operation.
Honeywell recommends always operating with the latest database.
NOTE: Some database updates may require a hardware or software mod. Any required modification information is
identified in the Compatibility File, available on the Honeywell Aerospace and Software Data Services
website.
Operators can visit the Honeywell Aerospace and Software Data Services website at https://ads.honeywell.com/ to
download databases, and view expected release dates for future databases, change information, search tools, and
coverage maps.
4.2.2 LOADING A DATABASE

A database is loaded into the EGPWC via the PCMCIA card slot in the front panel in the MK V and MK VII. In the
MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII a “Smart Cable” data-loader is connected to the Test connector on the front panel.
The database may be loaded either while the EGPWC is on the aircraft or on a bench provided the appropriate
power is applied.
The procedure for loading the database in the EGPWC is provided in service bulletins, available from
https://myaerospace.honeywell.com/.
4.3 FLIGHT HISTORY DOWNLOADING

In flight, the EGPWC records detected faults, and data prior to and following an alert. This flight history data can be
downloaded from the EGPWC via the PCMCIA interface. With this data, Honeywell can analyze the flight history
when necessary to help in the troubleshooting process, or analyzing special or unique events.
4.3.1 OBTAINING AN EGPWS FLIGHT HISTORY DOWNLOAD CARD

To obtain a Flight History Download (PCMCIA) Card necessary for this procedure, order the following part number:
For MK V and MK VII EGPWS (P/Ns 965-0976-xxx-xxx-xxx/965-1676-xxx/965-1690-xxx and 965-1076-xxx-xxx-xxx),
order Flight History Download Card p/n 718-1592-001.
For MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII EGPWS (P/Ns 965-11xx-xxx, 965-12xx-xxx, and 965-159x-xxx), order Flight
History Download Card p/n 718-1593-001.
NOTE: A Honeywell programmed and formatted PCMCIA Card is required to initiate the download sequence and
record the data. The Download Cards (p/n 718-1592-001 and 718-1593-001) are not interchangeable.
Also, database update cards can not be used for flight history downloading.
4.3.2 DOWNLOAD PROCEDURE

1. For the MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII access and connect Smart Cable p/n 951-0386-001 to Test Connector J3
on the EGPWC front panel.
For the MK V or MK VII, access and open the front panel door on the EGPWC.
2. Apply power to the EGPWC.
3. Verify that the COMPUTER OK LED is ON.
NOTE: If the COMPUTER FAIL LED is ON, the integrity of the Downloaded Data cannot be assured.
NOTE: If the EXTERNAL FAULT LED is ON, this will not interfere with the Download process.
4. On the EGPWC front panel or Smart Cable (see Figures x-x and x-x), verify the:
• IN PROG LED is extinguished.
• CARD CHNG LED is extinguished.
• XFER COMP LED is extinguished.
• XFER FAIL LED is extinguished.
5. Verify that the PCMCIA Card has its Write Protect Function Selector in the OFF (in- board) position.
NOTE: The PCMCIA Card Write Protect Selector is fragile and should be moved only with the minimum amount
of force.
6. Insert PCMCIA Card into the PCMCIA Card slot.
For the MK V or MK VII, ensure the notch on the bottom of the PCMCIA Card is in the down position. Push the
card in carefully until the PUSH TO EJECT button on the front Panel is fully extended. This will be when the
face of the button is nearly level with the rear of the inserted PCMCIA Card.
For the MK VI, MK VIII, and MK XXII, the label on the card and on the Smart Cable should both be oriented in
the same direction. The PCMCIA Card will only insert about half the card length.
CAUTION: Excessive force will damage the internal connector.
7. While loading is in progress, the IN PROG LED illuminates and the COMPUTER OK LED turns OFF.
8. When loading is complete, the IN PROG LED will turn OFF and the XFER COMP LED will turn ON.
NOTE: This operation should require no more than 10 minutes.
NOTE: If the XFER FAIL LED turns ON instead of the XFER COMP LED, then a different Flight History
Download PCMCIA Card must be obtained from Honeywell for the Data Download.
9. Remove the PCMCIA Card,

For the MK V or MK VII, depress the PUSH TO EJECT button on the EGPWC front panel.
For the MK VI or MK VIII, and MK XXII, carefully grasp the card and pull from the Smart Cable.
NOTE: The EGPWS should automatically return to its normal operating mode upon removal of the card.
10. Verify that the COMPUTER OK LED illuminates (allow up to 3 minutes for the light to come on).
11. Procedure is complete. Close the EGPWC front panel door or disconnect the Smart Cable as appropriate.
NOTE: Flight History Download Cards can only be used once.
4.3.3 TRANSCRIPTION OF THE PCMCIA CARD

b) via toll-free (US/Canada) telephone 855-808-6500
c) via direct dial (international) telephone 602-365-6500
4.4 PROGRAMMING THE CONFIGURATION MODULE (MK VI, MK VIII, MK XXII ONLY)
Programming the EGPWS Configuration Module is accomplished using WinVIEWS on a PC connected to the
EGPWC via the RS-232 interface. Prior to this activity, the necessary and desired configuration should be
determined based on the MK VI, MK VIII, or MK XXII Installation Design Guide referenced in Section 1.3. Utilize a
copy of Appendix E, Table 5.2 in the IDG for recording the associated installation Category ID information.
For programming the Configuration Module, the following procedure is used:
1. Verify EGPWC interface to P2 connector (including Configuration Module) and RS-232 interface to PC.
2. Power EGPWC and PC and start WinVIEWS.
3. With WinVIEWS active in the Terminal Mode, Configuration sub-mode commands are available for the
programming purpose. Type “CFG” at the prompt. At this point, the CFG > prompt is displayed and the
program and EGPWC are ready for entering the program command and data string. “HELP” or “?” will display a
list of the commands and their description. “CUW” is the necessary command for entering the identified ID’s for
each category.
4. Using the Category ID’s chosen from the ICD (refer to completed Table 5.2), create a command string with the
following structure:
CUW 0/15 # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #/
• CUW<space>0 is the command and version number. CUW writes the category ID’s defined by version 0
definition (0 is the only version currently available) to the Configuration Module via the EGPWC without a
CRC (checksum) value attached (this is generated by the EGPWC when the data is transmitted).
• /15 indicates the beginning of the data string (/) with 15 being the total number of categories to follow.
• <space><Cat 1 ID#><space><Cat 2 ID#>…<Cat 15 ID#>/ - each Cat ID # is the chosen ID for the
associated category with the first being category 1 and the last being category 15 in order. The following
slash indicates the end of the data.
Note: If 15 ID’s don’t follow “/15”, the error message “Invalid Parameter. Not enough category ID’s.
Configuration update failed, please try again” will be given. The value entered for each category must
be an available ID for the associated category or a similar error message will be given. If the number of
categories provided is less than 15 (e.g., “/8 # …#/” with eight ID’s defined), then the remaining
categories (9 through 15) will be set to 0.
5. After completing the data string as defined above, pressing ENTER results in a question; “Confirm this data
reflects configuration to be programmed (Y/N)”. Pressing the Y key sends the data to the EGPWC to write to
the Configuration Module. Following the writing of the Configuration Module the EGPWC is automatically
rebooted in order for the configuration to take affect.
Note: If when the ENTER key is pressed the question response is not given (cursor just moves to the next
line), pressing any character key should provide the proper response.
Pressing the N key results in the message “Command aborted – No configuration module change has been
made”. If necessary, revise the data to correct or change as necessary and continue as above. The backspace
key can be used to make corrections.
6. Following the successful writing to the Configuration Module (no messages) and EGPWC reboot, pressing
Control Z (Ctrl Z) restarts the WinVIEWS terminal mode communication.
7. There are a couple ways to now confirm the Configuration Module programming with the following being the
preferred. As above, type “CFG” to restart the Configuration sub-mode. At the CFG > prompt, type “CMR”
<ENTER>. Each Category and its associated ID is read from the Configuration Module and listed on the
display. Alternately, when not in the Configuration sub-mode, the command “PS” (Present Status) will display
EGPWC and configuration data.
8. Configuration Module programming is complete.
4.4.1 CONFIGURATION MODULE REPROGRAMMING (MK VI, MK VIII, MK XXII ONLY)

Reprogramming the EGPWS Configuration Module is accomplished similar to the programming process above.
Prior to reprogramming, the desired new configuration should be determined based on the MK VI, MK VIII, or MK
XXII Interface Design Guide (IDG) document referenced in Section 1.3.
For reprogramming the Configuration Module, the following procedure is used:
1. Verify EGPWC interface to P2 connector (including Configuration Module) and RS-232 interface to PC.
2. Power EGPWC and PC and start WinVIEWS.
3. With WinVIEWS active in the Terminal Mode, start the Configuration sub-mode by typing “CFG” at the prompt.
At this point, either all the ID’s can be rewritten using the CUW command as before, or individual categories can
be changed as follows:
4. At the CFG > prompt use the CAT command with the following structure:
• CAT<space><category #><space><ID#><space><T or F>
• <category #> is the ICD Category to change (example 7)
• <ID#> is the new ID to change to (example 92)
• <T or F> is True or False for rebooting the EGPWC. Use “T” if only one category is to be changed and the
EGPWC will reboot following ENTER. Use “F” if another individual ID is to be changed by another CAT
operation.
Example:
CFG >CAT 7 92 T
5. After inputting the desired change information, pressing ENTER will transmit the data to the EGPWC to write to
the Configuration Module. If a reboot is commanded (T), then the EGPWC will reboot at the completion of the
write process. If a reboot is not commanded (F), then the message “Writing to configuration module…Category
7 ID updated successfully.” is given and the CFG > prompt is again displayed. At this point, the Configuration
Module has been changed, but the change will not be effective until the EGPWC is rebooted. Additional
changes can be made with the final change set to command the EGPWC reboot (or cycle EGPWC power to
reboot).
6. Verification of the changes made is the same as before. As above, type “CFG” to restart the Configuration sub-
mode. At the CFG > prompt, type “CMR” <ENTER>. Each Category and its associated ID is read from the
Configuration Module and listed on the display. Alternately, when not in the Configuration sub-mode, the
command “PS” (Present Status) will display EGPWC and configuration data.
7. Configuration Module reprogramming is complete.
An example CUW command/data string, its definition, and the corresponding CWR list is provided below.

11 APPENDIX A: WINVIEWS
WinVIEWS (Windows Virtual Interface to the Enhanced Warning System) is a software tool developed by Honeywell
to monitor or view values within the EGPWC, and perform certain test interface functions.
Overview: The WinVIEWS software provides a monitor function that does not alter the operation of the EGPWS.
The monitoring of the values assists in the testing of the EGPWS by allowing the operator to quickly determine if the
correct signal and scaling is being used by the EGPWS. Additionally, WinVIEWS provides a detailed status of the
software configuration and input signals, which enables quick identification of system anomalies. WinVIEWS is also
utilized for programming the Configuration Module in MK VI, MK VIII, and MKXXII applications.
To obtain a copy of the WinVIEWS software, please contact Honeywell Aerospace Technical Support.
In addition to the WinVIEWS software, a command file may be utilized. The command file is a simple text file that
includes each Current Value Table (CVT) Item used in a test procedure. The file must be ‘text only’ such as those
created in the Microsoft Windows NotePad program. It should have a filename extension of .wvc or .cmd. The
webpage mentioned above also contains generic command files for use in ground and flight testing the various
EGPWS models.
To use WinVIEWS a RS-232 cable (PN 704-2617-001 or equivalent) is required to connect the PC 9-pin comm port
to the EGPWC 15-pin test port.
Typical WinVIEWS operation with the EGPWC:
1. Connect the PC to the EGPWC via the RS-232 cable defined above.
2. On the PC, start the WinVIEWS program (requires Windows 95 or later).
3. WinVIEWS opens in the Terminal Mode. Various commands are available in this mode. Type “HELP” or “?” for
command help. In particular, CVT Items may be added or deleted to/from the display to assist with system
analysis.
4. Under the File Menu select the “Load Command File” option and load the appropriate Command File.
5. Use F6 to select the Display Mode: each CVT item listed in the Command File will be continuously updated at a
rate of at least once per second. The value shown for each CVT Item listed is the current value used by the
EGPWS. F6 toggles between the Display and Terminal Modes.
12 APPENDIX B: TROUBLESHOOTING DO’S AND DO NOT’S
DO use built-in self test levels to find the exact nature of the fault.
DO use our free WinVIEWS program to quickly access Self Test Level 1, 2, and 3 info
DO remember to look at the front panel LEDs
Green Computer OK LED means “don’t remove”
Amber External Fault LED means “don’t remove”
Red Computer means “possibly remove”
DO NOT use cockpit INOP lamps for troubleshooting

INOP indications are merely a pilot’s indication of which EGPWS functions are inactive, they are not positive
indication of internal EGPWS faults. Experience shows External (non-EGPWS) faults are responsible for
INOPs illumination 99% of the time.
DO NOT remove unit if front panel green Computer OK LED is illuminated
