2 9201 San Mateo Blvd NE Albuquerque, NM KGP 560 EGPWS DISCOUNT PROMOTION Part Numbers Include: KGP GA-EGPWS KGP CONFIGURATION MODULE GA-EGPWS KGP INSTALLATION KIT GA-EGPWS MANUAL MANUAL PILOT GUIDE KGP0560 KGP DBASE CARD GA-EGPWS(AMERICAS) KGP DBASE CARD GA-EGPWS(ATLANTIC) KGP DBASE CARD GA-EGPWS(PACIFIC) 1. Program Description 1.1 General The Bendix/King KGP 560 Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) incorporates much of the same terrain database technology found in our air transport EGPWS, while specifically protecting light turbine and piston aircraft from the threat of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT). Based on Honeywell s proven CFIT alerting algorithms, our EGPWS provides advanced alerting while virtually eliminating nuisance warnings. Page 2 of 7

3 The system is intended to be used to enhance the on-board terrain situational awareness and meets the Class B and Class C mandate of TSO-C151B (AC 23-18, AC 25-23). The KGP-560 GA-EGPWS is BendixKing s first EGPWS system designed to maximize performance in a package more economical to the private pilot. The system is intended to be installed in Light Turbine and Piston aircraft. The KGP-560 LRU is a very small package with a very simple set of inputs and outputs. It provides timely operational alerts and displays terrain to enhance situational awareness. This performance, coupled to the system s simplicity, practicality, small size and weight, with a minimum number of required aircraft sensors, provides a formidable safety value. No Radio Altimeter or Glideslope receiver is necessary, significantly lowering acquisition and installation costs. 1.2 System Components The KGP0560 system contains the KGP-560 LRU, Configuration Module, Regional Terrain Database and installation kit KGP 560 LRU The KGP-560 LRU is a small remote mounted unit that computes the threat based upon sensor inputs and selected aircraft configuration. It is the central component in the system providing timely alerts and optional display of impending terrain incursions. The following basic GPWS functions, per TSO-C151b Class B and Class C, rely upon GPS and Pressure Altitude inputs only: 1. Excessive Rates of Descent 2. Negative Climb Rate or Altitude Loss After Takeoff 3. A voice callout Five Hundred when the airplane descends to 500 feet above the nearest runway elevation. The KGP-560 contains an embedded GPS-XPRESS Card sensor (GPS receiver) that produces validated navigational position data by continuous signal acquisition and tracking of the navigational satellite network. The GPS Sensor receives C/A code signals transmitted by the satellite network on the L1 frequency of MHz. The sensor has 8 signal processing channels allowing 8 satellites to be tracked simultaneously. The GPS Sensor uses data in the satellites navigation messages to solve for latitude, longitude, geometric altitude, horizontal velocity, vertical velocity and current UTC. GPS Data can also be supplied from an external source via the ARINC 429 or RS-232/422 interfaces with data per ARINC 743/743A requirements. A GPS Antenna Splitter could be used in lieu of installing another antenna Configuration Module The Configuration Module stores the mapped parameters. It is mounted on the mating connector.

4 1.2.3 Regional Terrain Database The Regional Terrain Database is a removable Compact Flash data card that resides inside the KGP-560 LRU. This card contains all the terrain data, known man-made obstacles and runway data for the appropriate region. The world is classified into three regions, Americas, Atlantic, & Pacific, which are shown in the KGP-560 Pilot s Guide. 1.3 System Inputs/Outputs Inputs External GPS Receiver Optional OAT Air Data (ARINC 429) Encoding Altimeter Configuration Module Power (28VDC) Optional Magnetic Heading/Roll (RS-232/ARINC 429) Outputs Warning Lights/Switchs Aircraft Audio System Optional Display (ARINC 429) KCBP display data (ARINC 453) 1.4 Setting the Standard in Terrain Avoidance Our GA-EGPWS systems provide enhanced situational awareness and the most advanced protection available against CFIT. The KGP 560 uses derivatives of the algorithms currently in service with the air transport fleet to virtually eliminate nuisance warnings. Each GA-EGPWS accomplishes CFIT protection by combining an early alert/warning capability with an optional terrain display, to enhance safety as it improves situational awareness. Terrain information can be presented on the KMD 550 or 850 Multi-Function Display, Avidyne EX600, KSN 770, a weather indicator, EFIS 40/50 or any other display with an ARINC 429 interface. 1.5 Key GA-EGPWS Features and Benefits Simple View Terrain is represented by different colors, adjusting as your flight path changes, making it easier for you to see what s ahead or below. Two colors indicate unsafe terrain clearance: red, for terrain well above your aircraft; and yellow, for terrain near or above aircraft altitude System Looks Ahead The EGPWS system uses aircraft position, altitude and flight path information to detect terrain or obstacle threats approximately one minute ahead of the aircraft. A voice alert, Caution Terrain, Caution Terrain or Caution Obstacle, Caution Obstacle, repeats every seven seconds if the flight path continues toward the threat area. Thirty seconds before threat, the voice message will warn to Pull Up. Voice alerts cease when the aircraft is no longer threatened. Other key benefits found only in our GA-EGPWS systems are a built-in GPS receiver, which eliminates the need for an external source, and sophisticated look-ahead algorithms derived from BendixKing s extensive air transport experience Page 4 of 7

5 1.5.3 Excessive Rate of Descent The EGPWS provides alerting and warning when the aircraft is descending toward terrain at a high rate for its relative altitude above terrain, giving you plenty of time to react. This mode is active for all phases of flight unless overridden by terrain look-ahead functionality Exclusive Peaks Mode Not found on any other systems, our Peaks mode provides additional terrain display features, giving you enhanced situational awareness at any altitude. This information is shown graphically, in a digital format, by varying the color and intensity of the screen display according to the elevations of the highest and lowest displayed terrain Altitude Awareness and Monitoring The KGP 560 incorporates the latest in altitude awareness technology. Three separate features combine to offer the most complete altitude information in the industry: Altitude Monitoring Altitude Loss After Take-off Altitude Callout Enhanced Altitude Accuracy (EAA) EAA function uses GPS Altitude or algorithms including GPS Altitude to derive an accurate geometric altitude calculation for the aircraft at all times irrespective of the Baro-Setting of the Pilot s Altimeter. The result is the EGPWS protection envelope is always accurate. Baro-Corrected Altitude from an Air Data Computer does not meet the EAA requirement as the possibility exists for the crew to input an incorrect Altimeter Baro-Setting. This would thereby inhibit the TAWS from fully protecting the aircraft from CFIT. New regulations issued by Transport Canada on July 4th, 2012 require all certified TAWS (Terrain Awareness Warning System, TAWS and EGPWS acronyms are used interchangeably to refer to identical system functionalities) systems need to be compliant with the EAA requirement within five years of the date of Final Rule or July 4th Most, but not all current TAWS Systems meet this requirement. The KGP-560 internally calculates geometric altitude to determine alerts and provide terrain display. Details regarding the inputs and calculations used to create Geometric Altitude are included in the KGP-560 Pilot s Guide Runway Field Clearance Floor To offer further protection against premature descent during landings and operations near airports, the KGP 560 incorporates the Runway Field Clearance Floor (RFCF) feature. RFCF provides 360º terrain and obstacles coverage within five nautical miles of public runways that are more than 2,000 feet. Page 5 of 7

6 1.5.8 Compact Protection A compact, single-box system unit weighs less than 1.5 pounds, including its built-in GPS receiver. Requiring minimal input just pressure, altitude and power the KGP 560 is easy to install. Offering coverage for anywhere you fly, regional data cards can be replaced in the field, simplifying maintenance. 2.
