System Inputs - Honeywell EGPWS MK V Pilot's Manual

System The EGPWS uses various input signals from other on-board
systems. The full complement of these other systems is
Inputs
dependent on the EGPWS configuration and options selected.
Systems providing Altitude, Airspeed, Attitude, Glideslope,
and position are required for basic and enhanced functions.
Accelerations, Angle-of-Attack (AOA), and Flap position is
required for Windshear. Inputs are also required for discrete
signal and control input.
The EGPWS utilizes signals from the following systems:
Air Data Uncorrected and corrected Barometric Altitude, Altitude rate,
Computed
Temperature are provided by Air Data system.
Radio Radio Altitude is provided by a Radio Altimeter system. Decision
Height or Decision Height Altitude is provided by a Radio
Altitude
Altimeter system or ancillary system.
In -210-210 and later versions, the EGPWC performs Radio
Altitude reasonableness checks based on the Computed Terrain
Clearance (pseudo-radio altitude). Computed Terrain Clearance is
computed by subtracting the elevation of the (database) terrain
below the aircraft from Geometric Altitude (ASL). Radio Altitude
is considered unreasonable when it indicates a terrain clearance
that is less than the Computed Terrain Clearance by more than
2000 feet (1500 feet with version -218-218 or later). For example,
if the Computed Terrain Clearance is 10,000 feet and the Radio
Altitude is any value (0-2500) then the Radio Altitude is
considered unreasonable.
