TAWS/GPWS - all very useful, but when you get such an alert you usually have a matter of seconds to react to it.
If you don't practice such manouvres on a regular basis AND the aircraft is not capable of producing the instant power required to get you out of that particular problem, you are, to put it mildly, stuffed.
