Limited TGU experience.... it's interesting flying. You're authorized to turn off the EGPWS because it goes off numerous times and is a general nuisance vs. an aid. It's look outside, fly the airplane, don't get too low(you're already below 100' a long way from the runway), while listening to the FO's inputs on sink rate/airspeed. And gusty winds can require an early power reduction....but you're already in ground effect when you're about a mile from the runway.

Interesting stuff.
