The Enhanced GPWS will call-out to trap an off-field landing but the 'safe-zone' around any airfield is not related to the selected runway in the FMC so the area around the threshold of FRU08 is also a 'safe-zone'...... Food for thought.
That's not quite correct. EGPWS does in fact have thousands of runways in its database. It matters not which is selected in the FMC, but rather a terrain clearance floor is tailored for each runway at every airport in the enhanced EGPWS database.
