an area where unique terrain exists could cause the
system to annunciate a nuisance alert. Pilots should
use discretion when inhibiting the TERRAIN system
and always remember to enable the system when

not be generated. See the Terrain Alerts section for

state” at startup to the last pilot-selected setting.
