Regarding the gay terrier dogs (feels like in a South Park show here), I confirm the "M" stands for "Minimums".

Unfortunately, with now 7 GPWS modes, the mnemonic is a bit old fashioned (and it just gives the alerts, not the warnings).

Here are the modes and alerts/warnings...

1: Sink rate / Whoop whoop pull up
2: Terrain, terrain / Whoop whoop pull up
3: Don't sink / -
4A: Too low gear / Too low terrain
4B: Too low flaps / Too low terrain
5: Glideslope / -
6A: Minimums / -
6B: Bank angle / -
7: - / Wind shear

We can keep the "Some Terrier Dogs Go For Gay Men", but we'll have to find something for the "B" and "W".

Who has Tray Parker and Matt Stone's email address ???
