EGPWS constitutes exactly the same warnings and modes as conventional GPWS. In an aircraft capable of supplying the system with Present Position (IRS, GPS or GPIRS derived) then it provides two additional modes TCF and TAD.
PPRuNe Forums > Flight Deck Forums > Tech Log > TAWS, E-TAWS, EGPWS Differences Notices Hello everyone! We're proud to announce our new badge system, allowing you to highlight your achievements on the site, as well as your service in the armed forces. There will be more to come soon, so stay tuned!
EGPWS also includes optional ‘peeks’, geometric altitude, and obstacle modes, each offering major safety advantages; other new and revised operating modes are being developed. The obstacle mode is available in all EGPWS ‘boxes’ although not all aircraft have been configured.
Tech Log - EGPWS - What is it?? - Can someone please tell me what is the different between Enchanced GPWS and an ordinary GPWS? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.
An EGPWS flap override for use when landing with an abnormal flap configuration, and an EGPWS inhibit, for disabling callouts when landing at an aerodrome not in the terrain database.
EGPWS has an output when it is in an alert condition (caution/warning) that is connected to TCAS inhibit input. So if EGPWS is alerting, TCAS cannot alert until EGPWS alert has completed. But it certainly is possible (as said earlier) to get a TCAS alert followed by and EGPWS alert, or to have EGPWS alert interrupt a TCAS alert.
