It was a 757-223



It only had a GPWS system not a EGPWS which is manditory in Europe now which is quite a different beastie.

It did have a moving map but not quite whats being discussed here as I would doudt there would be any topographical information on it.

I do struggle with not noticing that the magenta line takes yoz 150 miles behind and to the left of where you are going.
You and me both. Its quite a common problem though with DCT waypoints getting put in off route and then getting executed without a "am I being a dick" check to make sure its not in Japan or some other stupid place (presumeing of course your not flying in Japan)

Its this whole going below MSA milarky and having a situational awarness to even know that your below it while adding in you factors for wind speed and temprature etc which are commonly forgotten about.
