LandMark is the first stand-alone Class B TAWS to offer an optional WAAS-GPS sensor. With this accurate positioning information, the LandMark 8100 model powered with WAAS-GPS eliminates the need for multiple inputs from other aircraft sensors - simplifying the installation process. Just add your compatible display and you have everything needed to complete the installation. By operating autonomously, the LandMark 8100 provides the highest integrity terrain data without complicated GPS, ADC or temperature inputs. Add to that its 320 mile range and you have one of the most comprehensive and affordable Class B systems on the market. Whether depicting terrain on an MFD, EFIS or Radar Indicator, the LandMark

TAWS Model 8100 easily integrates with existing cockpits. L-3 Avionics Systems has teamed with Jeppesen to provide pilots with the highest quality databases for accurately depicting the terrain, runways, and man-made obstacles surrounding their aircraft. Both LandMark 8000 and 8100 models feature an easily updatable terrain database flash card that is verified by L-3 using cutting edge simulator technology.

With four times the resolution of other Class B TAWS, both the LandMark™ 8000 and 8100 models provide an accurate lay of the land with crisper imaging, distinct runway & obstacle depictions and enhanced alerting capabilities. Improving upon earlier Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GPWS) technologies, the LandMark™ systems add features such as look-ahead capabilities, longer warning times, landing configuration operability, and greater situational awareness via an optional terrain display.

The LandMark™ TAWS 8100 and 8000 models have wide varieties of display interface options. Both systems display a continuous, color, birds-eye view of the terrain, obstacles, and runways surrounding the aircraft

The LandMark Class B Terrain Awareness and Warning System incorporates five basic types of alerting modes to provide critical information in a timely manner. They include Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA), Premature Descent, and GPWS Modes 1, 3 and 6. Although separate in their functionality, together these alert modes provide you with comprehensive and accurate situational awareness to guide you safely to your destination.

Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA) FLTA includes warnings for Reduced Required Terrain Clearance and Imminent Terrain Impact (ITI) which occur when the aircraft is above (or below for ITI) the altitude of the upcoming terrain along the projected flight path, but the projected terrain clearance is less than the required terrain clearance.

The Premature Descent alert occurs when the aircraft is significantly below the normal final approach flight path to the nearest runway.

GPWS Alert Modes:

Excessive Descent Rate alert condition occurs when the aircraft is descending too fast for the current height above terrain.

Descending To 500 Feet call-out occurs when descending within 500 ft of the terrain during enroute mode or when descending within 500 ft of the nearest runway threshold elevation during terminal or approach mode (not pictured).

Negative Climb Rate (or Altitude Loss After Takeoff) alert occurs after takeoff or missed approach after the aircraft reaches 50 ft above the runway, but before reaching 700 ft above the runway.
