For guliBell
TAWS shows all red when trying to get up the river into Tabubil in a DHC8.
Scared the crap out of me! I already "now" that there are f#$%ing HUGE mountains all around me!
Better to keep your eyes outside and "see & avoid".
TAWS is great for situational awareness, but it does have limitations when used
in a mixed VFR/IFR environment. Which is what flying in PNG is.
PS When you inevitably have to go IMC below LSALT a nice tight climbing turn will have to do. Just hope there's nothing in your way! It worked for some of us.....
Unfortunately it didn't work for others....
