Abstract:
A method of generating and managing terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) alerts including determining a number of warnings relating to terrain near an aircraft flight path, each warning indicating terrain above a threshold elevation and having a position associated with the warning. The method further including generating, for each warning, first alert data configured for display as an alert on a display device. The method further including sending the first alert data to the display device, receiving, from the display device, a user request to inhibit a first alert, the first alert based on the first alert data. The method further including generating second alert data for the first alert, wherein the second alert data is configured to inhibit the first alert, wherein inhibiting the first alert includes modifying a display of the first alert on the display device and sending the second alert data to the display device.
