True
The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) provides _____ warnings to help avoid terrain and detected wind-shear guidance.
Aural and Visual
What color are WARNING messages displayed as on the EICAS?
Red
When landing at an airport that is not in the aircraft’s database, pressing the GND PROX TERR INHIB….
Inhibits EGPWS and thus avoids unwanted terrain alerts in airports not covered by EGPWS database
(T/F) If too many EICAS messages are being displayed at any given time, the pilot can scroll through the EICAS to see any hidden messages (except for warning messages)
