Enhanced GPWS which would have detected the descent below the virtual terrain floor
- not necessarily here. TCF begins (from memory) at 1Foot at the threshold and increases as you move away from the threshold. As to what height it would be triggered wherever this 'excursion' occurred is purely a guess - partly because we do not know 'where'. Of course, it would have triggered at some point.
