Thanks to Splat DA & Boston, now this all leads me to the next question. After watching all the debate over new requirements for EGPWS and TAWS rather than the old GPWS it seems to me that while they are a great tool and in many cases prevent a CFIT in a case such as the Lockhart River crash and Benalla the extending of gear and flap partially inhibits the tool. This is fine if you are definitely in the right position, however if you are not where you think you are and ignore or cancel or have suppressed warnings you could be in for a big prang.
Is this the case or have I missed something here?
I know what "Prospector" is thinking, and he's right, make sure you are where you should be, but too may are relying on systems to protect them when they will not and can not it seems.
Enjoying the constructive comments, keep it coming.
Cheers J
