Is that from a UPS AMM as that is a different config to the Terr fitted to my company A306? We only have one switch to deactivate the Terr functions and again that is on the Captain's side.
We have individual switches which control the display on the ND of terrain and even if they are not selected a terrain ahead warning will cause them to display the terrain
I would hope that a gpws warning would prompt a crew to fly an escape profile not prompt them to turn it off. Shutup Gringo taught the industry a lesson many years ago.
