Honeywell Mark V & Mark VII EGPWS

Advanced flight-safety systems

ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY
WARNING SYSTEMS
Advanced safety features
Mark V and Mark VII EGPWS are Class A
TAWS systems specifically engineered for
turbofan aircraft more commonly used for
commercial air transport, regional/
commuter airlines, business jets, and
military transport aircraft. Mark V is
designed for newer digital avionics
platforms; Mark VII is designed for earlier
analog systems. Both systems are
installed by every major aircraft OEM and
can be easily retrofitted into existing
aircraft.
Mark V EGPWS: the digital solution
The EGPWS computer utilizes primarily
digital avionics input to provide alerts and
warnings. The internal database includes
terrain, airports with runways greater than
3,500 feet, and obstacles worldwide. With
ARINC 429 input from an AHRS or IRS,
the Mark V can also provide reactive
windshear alerts and warnings.
Mark VII EGPWS: State-of-the-art
equipment for analog avionics
Identical in performance to the Mark V, the
Mark VII interfaces with analog avionics
systems and also provides reactive
windshear alerts and warnings utilizing
input from an IRS or a bi-axial
accelerometer.
Superior situational awareness and
safety
By combining extensive GPWS features
with state-of-the-art navigation and
Honeywells worldwide terrain, airport and
obstacle database, the Mark V and VII
each provide:
Aural and visual display of threatening
terrain and obstacles.
Look-ahead warnings based on aircraft
flight profile, aircraft performance,
terrain, obstacles, and altitude.
Proven performance
Honeywells Mark V and Mark VII
Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning
Systems (EGPWS) are among the most
advanced and powerful Class A Terrain
Awareness and Warning Systems
(TAWS) available to protect against
Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT).
Built on more than 30 years of expertise,
these top-of-the-line systems deliver high
performance, precision, and reliability for
retrofit or new aircraft.
Not only does EGPWS protect your
aircraft, it protects your bottom line as
well. With certifications on almost every
aircraft type, Honeywells EGPWS has
recorded more than 30 saves, has the
longest service life in the category (up to
30,000 flight hours MTBF), and the lowest
nuisance rate (less than 1 alert in 150,000
hours). Plus, we offer worldwide around-
the clock expert service and support. You
can rely on Honeywell systems to pay off
over the long haul.
Terrain clearance floor alerts on
approach and landing.
Alerts for glideslope deviation, flaps or
gear not in landing configuration,
excessive bank angle, and altitude.
A smart 500-feet callout when the
aircraft is on a non-precision approach.
Honeywells very best EGPWS
The most advanced EGPWS systems on
the market, delivering maximum safety and
system redundancy, Honeywell's Mark V
and Mark VII offers three potentially life-
saving capabilities:
Windshear detection
Radar AutoTilt

Runway Awareness and Advisory

System (optional upgrade)
Protection from windshear
Mark V and Mark VII EGPWS protects your
planes from windsheara violent and
sudden downdraft that can be fatal to
aircraft. Honeywell systems provide
protection and peace of mind from this
invisible threat.
For larger aircraft, windshear accidents
occur most often during landing and
takeoff, while for business jets and general
aviation, such accidents are more likely
during approach to landing. At larger
airports, the Low Level Windshear Alert
System and Terminal Doppler Weather
Radar provide windshear alerts; however,
not all. However, not all airports have such
equipment, making on-board equipment
critical. The windshear detection
capabilities built into every Mark V and
VII provide that protection wherever you
may fly.
FAA and JAA certifications for almost any
aircraft allow for streamlined installation, short
downtimes, and few engineering modifications
to maximize your return on investment.
The most dangerous windshear condition is
vertical windshearcaused by air that blasts
down from thunderstormswhich can literally
push a plane into the ground. Mark V and VII
systems offer windshear detection alerts and
warnings that alert pilots to help avoid such
conditions.
Without AutoTilt, a pilot may have to manually
adjust the angle up to 40 times during climb
to obtain the same accuracy. If the antenna is
aimed too low, the display will show mainly
ground. If it is aimed too high, significant
weather will be overscanned and missed.
RAAS makes planes as safe on the
ground as they are in the air.
Honeywells Runway Awareness and
Advisory System (RAAS) presents a
viable safety solution that improves pilot
situational awareness, minimizing the
risk of runway incursions and reducing
operational costs. As the only safety
system of its kind, RAAS is an optional
software upgrade for commercial aircraft
fitted with Honeywell Mark V and VII
EGPWS units. This quick, cost-effective
upgrade activates features in existing
EGPWS computers starting with 218-
218 software. It provides extra
protection against runway incursions or
accidents without downtime and
expensive changes to the flight deck.
RAAS can be standardized across an
aircraft fleet as a cost-effective and
economical solution for reducing the risk
of runway incursions.
When warranted, RAAS will use voice
advisories to make pilots aware of vital
runway information, allowing them to
avoid a wide range of potential ground-
based incursions. The logic algorithms
then determine the appropriate
sequence and timing, adjusting advisory
distances based upon aircraft
groundspeed to maximize and enhance
crew reaction time.
RAASa software-only upgrade to the
Mark V and VII EGPWSis already making
planes as safe on the ground as they are in
the air. Visit www.honeywell.com/raas.

AutoTilt weather radar system
When pilots encounter bad weather, their
attention is sometimes focused on other
critical tasks. Honeywells patented terrain-
based AutoTilt keeps the radar functioning
at its optimum and reduces pilot workload
during some of the busiest times of flight.
The EGPWS database supplies
information about the elevation of terrain
ahead of the aircraft (within the selected
radar display range) and AutoTilt adjusts
the antenna tilt angle automatically and
continuously. This avoids situations where
the radar antenna is aimed too high and
misses significant weather ahead of the
aircraft (as can happen when climbing) or
is aimed too low, so ground clutter
obscures the weather picture.
The AutoTilt function uses terrain elevation
data to continuously and automatically adjust
the tilt setting to ensure the antenna is aimed
directly at the weatherrather than the sky
above or the ground belowso pilots get an
accurate picture of the weather ahead.
