c. GPAAS Modes of Operation. The GPAAS
operates in the following modes of operation.
(1) Aural
"Two
Thousand"
Advisory
(Mode 1). The aural advisory "Two Thousand"
indicates that the aircraft is at a radio altitude of 2000
feet AGL. This advisory is cancelled when valid
information from the radio altimeter is lost, during
climb, or whenever the aircraft is out of the operating
altitude range of the radio altimeter.
(2) Hundred Foot Increment Aural Altitude
Advisories (Mode 2). The aural advisories "One
Thousand, Nine Hundred, Eight Hundred, Seven
Hundred, Six Hundred, Five Hundred, Four Hundred,
Three Hundred, Two Hundred, One Hundred" indicate
that the aircraft is at the associated radio altitude in
feet AGL. This advisory is cancelled when valid
information from the radio altimeter is lost, during
climb, or whenever the aircraft is out of the operating
altitude range of the radio altimeter.
(3) Aural "Localizer" Advisory (Mode 3). The
aural advisory "Localizer" indicates that the aircraft has
deviated from the center of the localizer beam in
excess of 1.3 to 1.5 dots. The localizer advisory is
armed when a valid localizer signal is detected and the
aircraft is below 1000 feet above ground level. It will
be repeated no more that 3 times at 4-second intervals
unless the aircraft is returned to less than 1.3 to 1.5
dots from the center of the localizer course. The
localizer advisory is disabled when a valid localizer
signal has been lost, during climb, below the decision
height set on the radio altimeter, or if the navigation
receiver is not tuned to a localizer frequency.
