Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) is a standard part of Honeywell's EGPWS, as such, probably on all EGPWS-equipped planes. Activation, modes used and alerts are up to the operator. It's all dependent on the "strapping". But, with lots of time using it and demo'ing it; it can be useful. BUT it is advisory, it doesn't replace pilot judgement which in the EK SOP, it does. The combination of SOP and FOQA as discipline is to blame.
