I´m a student of Lufthansa Flight Training and also a student at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences in the International Degree Course for Aeronautical Engineering. The course at university brings at the end a diploma thesis along. I´ll write my one about a kind of MSA-Warning.
Because I just started, I´m interested in any kind of stuff that is related to CFIT, MSAW and EGPWS for introduction.
Especially, there are the following questions:
- Are Terrain / MSA Warnings common during normal everyday operation, or are they neglectable?
- Whats the reason for CFIT-Accidents? Is it only the weather, loss of sight? Are systemfailures, mistakes in charts, errors by ATC a possible reason? Is there any main problem, except for weather?
- Is EPGWS the Non-plus-ultra, or has it also some weak sides?
As I said above, I´m interested in all kind of related stuff!
Thanks in advance!
