Re: Should these warnings (EGPWS) have appeared on the transcript for the Cockpit Voice Recorder ? (#1441)
Re: They are disabled in landing config... (#1445)

I would be very surprised if the EGPWS alerts and warnings were disabled in the landing configuration; this applies to the most critical phase of flight which requires the protection of EGPWS.
The absence of EGPWS warnings on the CVR could be due to the aircraft’s warning prioritisation logic where the stick shake/stall warning would be expected to have priority. However, many aircraft only allocate priority to the audio aspects of warnings, but if the logic resides in the warning display system (EFIS/EICAS) then it might also apply to any visual alerts given by the stall warning system or even from the EFIS IAS low speed display.
Alternatively it is an oversight in the transcript.
