Warning System

This document describes the functions and symbology of an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) and Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS). It explains that different colored dots on the EGPWS indicate terrain at various distances and elevations relative to the aircraft's altitude. It also covers windshear detection and warning systems, including the conditions that activate warnings and the windshear escape guidance mode.
