is an onboard safety system designed to alert pilots when their aircraft is at risk of an unintentional collision with the ground.
GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM
GPWS prevents what
Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents
involve a normally operating aircraft which contacts the ground due to loss of situational awareness, or other pilot error.
CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN
In GPWS, The pilots are alerted through ____ and ____ warnings and in the case of EGPWS a visual display
- Aural
- Visual
What is the heart of the GPWS
Computer processor/CPU
Input of GPWS
- RADIO ALTIMETER
- MACHMETER
- AIR DATA COMPUTER
- GLIDE PATH DEVIATION
- UNDERCARRIAGE POSITION
- FLAPS POSITION
- NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Output of GPWS
- MASTER INDICATOR
- VISUAL WARNING
- AUDIO WARNING
GPWS warning
- “SINK RATE”
- “PULL UP”
- “DON’T SINK”
- “TOO LOW, TERRAIN”
- “TOO LOW GEAR”
- “TERRAIN, TERRAIN”
Alerts the pilot when the aircraft is descending too quickly, which could lead to ground impact.
Mode 1: Excessive Descent Rate
Alerts the pilot when the aircraft is descending too quickly, which could lead to ground impact.
Mode 1: Excessive Descent Rate
Warns of a rapid approach to terrain, useful in mountainous areas.
Mode 2: Excessive Terrain Closure Rate
Detects altitude loss when the aircraft is expected to climb.
Mode 3: Altitude Loss After Takeoff or Go-Around
Has two sub-modes
Mode 4: Unsafe Terrain Clearance
What are the two sub modes of Mode 4
- Triggered when not in a landing configuration (gear or flaps up).
- Activated when in a landing configuration (gear down)
Warns when the aircraft is significantly below the ILS glideslope, typically during approach.
Mode 5: Excessive Deviation Below Glideslope
Provides altitude callouts (“500 feet,” “100 feet,” etc.) and bank angle alerts to help pilots maintain situational awareness.
Mode 6: Advisory Callouts
Detects windshear during takeoff, approach, and landing to warn the pilot of sudden changes in wind velocity that could affect control
Mode 7: Windshear Detection
