It's not just "bigging up", there are actual reasons for it.
I'm well aware of how EGPWS is calibrated but thanks for the 'lesson'
Either I was typing gibberish or you don't understand my Queen's English; the 'bigging up' was regarding the unimportant bits which EK like us to spout about! The C-TWO F model is fine as long as we stick to the relevant and important stuff! Such as the need to convert QFE/meters to QNH/feet at UUDD and not discussing the need for something like ice-protection on a CAVOK summer's day!
Briefings need to be brief. Unlike the EK Longings!
