What is the difference between the L3/Goodrich Landmark TAWS8000 and TAWS8100?
The main difference between the L3 Landmark Class B TAWS8000 and TAWS8100 is the inclusion of the WAAS GPS receiver into the 8100 system. The WAAS GPS receiver eliminates the need for additional air data, baro corrected altitude and temperature inputs that were needed for various TAWS8000 installations. However, because of the WAAS feature, the TAWS8100 requires the installation of a WAAS GPS antenna and separate WAAS GPS receiver that is not incorporated into the TAWS processor. This differs from many TAWS systems where a separate GPS antenna is sometimes not needed (i.e. GPS splitter utilized) and GPS receiver is included into TAWS processor.
