RAAS should only give a Long Landing alert in the air
From the Honeywell EGPWS manual, page 111
my red.
The new Long Landing and airborne only Distance Remaining
alerts are generated when the following conditions are met:
• Aircraft is within 100 feet AGL, over a customer specified
distance from the runway end;
• Aircraft is airborne above 5 feet AGL, or weight on
wheels is false
The second point implies both weight on wheel signal need to be false to inhibit the RAAS Long Landing alert.

Preliminary report, factual information.

0837:17 Right main touchdown
0837:19 RAAS "Long Landing Long Landing"
0837:20 Left main Gear touchdown
0837:23 Aircraft airborne again.

The next question is when is TOGA disabled? Are both WoW inputs required to inhibit it, or just one? Was TOGA pressed & when in the timeline? Is there a small window of opportunity for RAAS still being enabled, whilst TOGA is simultaneously inhibited?
