What is the suggested database update cycle for TAWS systems?
As of April 2004, there is no required database updating for terrain awareness systems by the FAA. However, due to the construction and addition of vertical obstacles such as cell phone towers which are included in most TAWS unit databases, it is recommended that the database be updated at least once every year.
