It is also very well equipped with GPWS, TAWS,
Yeah but does it have EGPWS as standard equipment, or is the E an option that may not have been choosen by the Norwgian Air Force.?
A regular GPWS may not have been of much use approaching a vertical cliff face but an EGPWS with the terrain data base should have given plenty of warning.
How about Flight Recorder and Voice recorder, standard equipment in military planes..?
