Spitoon #4, a reasonable response. The ‘E’ is a most important aspect which many pilots, and even manufacturers, miss out. The ‘Enhanced’ system (and other TAWS) provide much greater capability in threat and error detection and thus needs a higher level of understanding than perhaps the older systems did.

buzzc152, I hope that you pulled up in response to the warning; if not why not. Argue your rationale in differing weather, day/night scenarios, and again after reading the pilots guide from the egpws.com web link. Also read the accounts of other incidents 'here'; how close could you have been to one of these.
