Penetration of the outer boundary activates the EGPWS
caution lights and “SINKRATE, SINKRATE” alert enunciation.
Additional “SINKRATE, SINKRATE ” messages will occur for
each 20% additional penetration of the outer boundary.
Penetration of the inner boundary activates the EGPWS warning
lights and changes the audio message to “PULL UP” which re-
peats continuously until the inner warning boundary is exited.
