At takeoff, the MTC is zero feet. As the aircraft ascends, the MTC
is increased to 75% of the aircraft’s Radio Altitude (averaged over
the previous 15 seconds). This value is not allowed to decrease
and is limited to the same values as the Mode 4A curve. If the
aircraft radio altitude decreases to the value of the MTC, the EG
