AF B772, GPWS averts CFIT

[PEI_3721]

EGPWS has saved many lives, respect it and use it.
The terrain mode provides a strategic view of terrain; it’s not a map for navigating with, but an aid for planning and awareness.
The alerts and warnings must be followed – no deliberation or choice. EGPWS is a vital every-day device which warns of error, your error, someone else’s, or from within the wider operational situation.
Celebrate the ‘saves’; learn from them.
Well done the crew, the operator, the system, … Don Bateman … another one for the book.
