Thanks for the link. It seems that there has been at least one case (according to the CAA) of crew muting the alert only to find it was alegitimate one.
However I am still interested to know if in fact this muting can also be a function of gear and flap down situations. Can anybody answer this? And does it also apply to EGPWS.
I see my thread has caught the eye of Lisag and no doubt this is of interest to her and anybody else related to similar accidents.
What I think could be an issue is ignoring or muting or treating warnings as a nuisance when still in IMC this can be very dangerous, fine if you have become visual but if you are not how can you be sure unless you find out the hard way.
Surely some of my fellow Queenslanders who fly the regional turbo props have an answer and an opinion, as this is what they work with every day and may depend on one day too.
Thanks
