J430,
Thank you for starting this thread. I appreciate your interest in the GPWS which was equipped on the Metro at LR.
Okay to put it in plain English, for me a dope, who doesn't fly who now reads way too much information on GPWS and EGPWS but still can't quite figure out all this technical jargon.
I have been told that if the plane was configured to land, gear down, stabilised approach, that the GPWS would not alert the pilots of the rising terrain just in front of them?? But the EGPWS which looks forward would have alerted them to the rising terrain?
Cheers,
Fiona Norris
