Re: low temperature correction

I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had EGPWS alerts, not necessarily due to problems with low temperature; please PM me.
As this new equipment sees wider service it appears that the number of alerts is increasing. Some incidents are of sufficient concern for the authorities to investigate, but others I suspect reflect underlying errors by crew or ATC that could catch us out i.e. failure to correct for low temperature / communicate.
I know of one other low temp EGPWS event during departure from an airport in Norway.
Dan W please check PMs.
