Just been thinking about how GPWS or for that matter EGPWS is disabled (read some comments on here a while back). When an aircraft is configured for landing is the GPWS disabled automatically so not to make nuisance alerts??. Does this happen with EGPWS??
I fly VFR but my GPS terrain warning beeps off when about to land (1000ft AGL) and is annoying but I can hit ENTER and it stops.
My concern is that say in a case like Lockhart River if either device detected a terrain issue would the pilot always be alerted. If say the gear going down disables the alerts what is the good of it, unless it has to be disabled by the pilot himself.
Any explanations would be welcome.
