ENHANCED/GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING
When an EGPWS alert occurs, use the flight controls and thrust as
necessary to correct the airplane attitude, flight path and configuration,
according to the voice message presented, to provide terrain
clearance.
WARNING:
IF A TERRAIN AWARENESS WARNING OCCURS,
IMMEDIATELY INITIATE AND CONTINUE A CLIMB
THAT WILL PROVIDE MAXIMUM TERRAIN
CLEARANCE UNTIL ALL ALERTS CEASE. ONLY
VERTICAL MANOEUVRES ARE RECOMMENDED,
UNLESS OPERATING IN VISUAL
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (VMC), AND/OR
THE PILOT DETERMINES, BASED ON AVAILABLE
INFORMATION, THAT TURNING IN ADDITION TO
THE VERTICAL ESCAPE MANOEUVRE IS A SAFER
COURSE OF ACTION.
CAUTION:
• FOR EGPWS, THE TERRAIN DISPLAY IS INTENDED
TO BE USED AS A SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
TOOL ONLY AND MAY NOT PROVIDE THE
ACCURACY AND/OR FIDELITY ON WHICH TO
SOLELY BASE TERRAIN AVOIDANCE
MANEUVERING DECISIONS.
• WHEN A TERRAIN AWARENESS CAUTION
OCCURS, VERIFY THE AEROPLANE FLIGHT PATH
AND CORRECT IT IF REQUIRED. IF IN DOUBT,
PERFORM A CLIMB UNTIL THE CAUTION ALERT
CEASES.
NOTE: Nuisance “LANDING GEAR” aural alerts may occur during
TERRAIN events. The EGPWS aural alerts "TERRAIN,
TERRAIN" and "OBSTACLE, OBSTACLE" would be delayed
or suppressed in case the "LANDING GEAR" aural alert is
active and the aural alert "PULL UP, PULL UP…" would be
heard after the landing gear aural alert.
