The warning is a repetitive “TOO LOW, GEAR” in a loud, urgent voice over the speakers. IIRC it triggers at 500RA, it’s hard to believe they continued to land with that happening. You can’t cancel it unless you turn the GPWS off on the overhead panel.
A mishandled baulked landing after a high energy approach and deep landing is much more likely.
Very sad.
You will also get a ECAM master warning.
Triggering conditions.
- L/G is not downlocked and radio height is lower than 750 ft and both engines N1 lower than 75% (or if engine shutdown N1of remaining engine lower than 97%) or
- L/G is not downlocked and radio height is lower than 750 ft and both engines are not at T.O power and flaps at 1, 2, 3 or FULL or
- L/G is not downlocked and flaps at 3 or FULL and both radio altimeters are failed.
A useful reference other than the FCOM.
