SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.3.1 Basic EGPWS System
The KMH 880 EGPWS is a revolutionary new step in Controlled Flight Into Terrain
(CFIT) protection. It is capable of producing advanced alerting for prevention of
CFIT accidents. In addition to the alerting protection the system will also produce
a terrain display. This display depicts relative terrain in reference to the lateral and
vertical positions of the aircraft.
The EGPWS is intended for Light Turbine and Piston Aircraft Operations. It has
effective operational performance in providing timely alerts and operational terrain
display to enhance situational awareness. This performance, coupled to the sys-
tem's simplicity, practicality, small size and weight, with a minimum number of
required aircraft sensors, provides a formidable safety value.
The EGPWS portion of the KMH 820 is not suitable for helicopter operation.
No Radio Altimeter, Landing Gear or Flap Discretes, or Glideslope Receiver are
necessary. This significantly lowers the installation costs.
The KMH 880 is a system designed to minimize the system requirements down to
a level economical to the private pilot. It is the central component in the system
providing timely alerts and optional display of impending terrain incursions.
The KMH 820 is a TSO C151a Class B compliant unit.
