Garmin has tossed its hat into the terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) ring, announcing at EAA’s AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., last month that a class-B product is in the works and will be offered to buyers of Garmin 500-series avionics “within a year.”

A non-certified version of the terrain-alerting system will also be available for interface with both the Garmin 400 and 500, according to a spokesman, but Garmin has not yet disclosed many specific details of the new products.
