Mode 3 provides alerts for significant altitude loss after takeoff
or low altitude go-around (less than 245* feet AGL) with gear or
flaps not in the landing configuration. The amount of altitude
loss that is permitted before an alert is given is a function of the
height of the aircraft above the terrain as shown below. This pro
-
tection is available until the EGPWS determines that the aircraft
has gained sufficient altitude that it is no longer in the takeoff
phase of flight. Significant altitude loss after takeoff or during a
low altitude go-around activates the EGPWS caution lights and the
aural message “DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK”.
