I do not understand why there is a discussion about R/A EGPWS, given an obvious obstacle it would have most likely been inhibited by the flight crew.

As suspected...

Anyway we appreciate you sharing your obvious expertise but no, the pilots wouldn't inhibit the EGPWS if there was an obstacle on the approach.

Have you ever shot a non-precision approach in an A300-600 or any other large plane? Just curious...
