Q

What is the difference between GPWS und EGPWS?

A

EGPWS is a modern, more advanced system that addresses many of the limitations of the original GPWS, by adding a terrain database, GPS, and predictive capabilities, providing advanced warnings and terrain displays beyond the immediate vicinity of the aircraft

Which influence does a blocked static-system have on IAS, ALT and V/S?
