NOTE: Inhibit mode deactivates TERRAIN alerting
when deemed unnecessary by the pilot. Flying
VFR into an area where unique terrain exists could
cause the system to annunciate nuisance alerts.
Pilots should use discretion when inhibiting the
TERRAIN system and always remember to enable
the system when appropriate.
