4.1 Terrain
During power-up of the GDU 620, the terrain/obstacle database versions are
displayed along with a disclaimer. At the same time, the Terrain system self-test
begins. A failure message is issued if the terrain test fails.
Garmin TERRAIN is a non-TSO-C151b-certified terrain awareness system
provided as a standard feature of GDU 620 to increase situational awareness and
help reduce controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). Terrain may be displayed on
the Map page group Navigation Map and Terrain pages.
TERRAIN requires the following to operate properly:
