Federal Aviation Administration 

Proposed Technical Standard Order 

(TSO)–C151c, Terrain Awareness and 

Warning System (TAWS) 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of, and request for public 

comments on a second draft of 

Technical Standard Order (TSO)–C151c, 

Terrain Awareness and Warning 

System. Comments received from the 

initial June 2011 release, resulted in 

changes to the proposed document 

significant enough to require this public 

comment offering. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 5, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Send all comments on the 

proposed technical standard order to: 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 

Aircraft Certification Service, Aircraft 

Engineering Division, Avionics Systems 

Branch (AIR–130), 470 L’Enfant Plaza, 

Suite 4102, Washington, DC 20024. 

Attn. Ms. Charisse Green. Or you may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

You are invited to comment on the 

proposed revised TSO by submitting 

written data, views, or arguments to the 

above address. Comments received may 

be examined, both before and after the 

closing date at the above address, 

weekdays except federal holidays, 

between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

will consider all comments received on 

or before the closing date. 

Background 

The initial public offering of the draft 

TSO–C151c offered the following 

changes: 

a. Clarification of the 500 foot altitude 

call out requirement for Class A TAWS 

equipment. 

b. Addition of Localizer Performance 

with Vertical guidance (LPV) and Global 

Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) 

Landing System (GLS) glidepath alerting 

to the Ground Proximity Warning 

System (GPWS) Mode 5 glideslope alert. 

c. Elimination of the provision to 

adjust or modify the GPWS envelopes to 

minimize nuisance alerts based on 

Forward-Looking Terrain Avoidance 

(FLTA) and Premature Descent Alert 

(PDA) functionality without a deviation. 

d. Allowances for eliminating GPWS 

nuisance alerts (Appendix 1, paragraph 

3.4). 

e. Requirement for the primary 

horizontal position source to be GPS, to 

ensure utilization of the most accurate 

and consistent horizontal position data. 

f. Addition of velocity and vertical 

GPS reporting requirement to inhibit 

alerting when GPS position is invalid, 

unless a backup position source is in 

use. 

The FAA received numerous 

comments on: (1) The 500 foot altitude 

call out; (2) the elimination of the GPWS 

envelope modification allowance; (3) 

the GPS horizontal position source 

requirement; and (4) the position source 

requirements. A summary of those 

public comments and the FAA’s 

resolution are included with the second 

draft of TSO–C151c. 

This announcement requesting 

comments to the revised proposed TSO– 

C151c, contains the following 

significant changes: 

a. Alert suppression for Required 

Navigation Performance (RNP) 

requirements are added to Appendix 1, 

Paragraph 3.1.4. 

b. The allowance in TSO–C151b to 

adjust or modify the GPWS alerting 

thresholds is restored in the current 

version of TSO–C151c. (We provide 

clarifying language that deviations need 

to be accomplished in accordance with 

Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) 21.618.) 

c. The requirement in the initial 

proposal of TSO–C151c, requiring the 

Class A 500 ft voice call out on all 

approaches is changed to the TSO– 

C151b requirement, for the Class A 500 

ft voice call out on non-precision 

approaches only. 

d. TSO–C151b and the first offering of 

the proposed TSO–C151c, both allowed 

for the 500 ft callout to be made based 

on radar altimeter height above terrain, 

or by a comparison of current altitude 

(barometric or GNSS) above the runway 

threshold height. This revised proposed 

TSO–C151c allows the 500 ft voice call 

out to be the current altitude 

(barometric or GNSS) above the runway 

threshold height. Note that in the 

current proposal, the allowance to make 

the voice callout based solely on a radio 

altimeter height above terrain is 

removed. The rationale is that all TAWS 

equipped aircraft will annunciate the 

altitude call referenced to the runway 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 23 / Friday, February 3, 2012 / Notices 5617 

threshold height, allowing for 

consistency in the altitude call out. 

e. Clarification of TAWS position 

requirements (See Proposed Paragraphs 

5.0 through 5.6). 

f. All GPS requirements are 

unchanged from the TSO–C151b 

requirement.
