Is there any key on MCDUs to check which is the cycle of the EGPWS databases installed on Airbus Honeywell and Pegasus FMGCs?

The EGPWS TDB is in the EGPWS computer and the version is normally displayed on the ND during the test. The FMC's contain the Nav Database not to be confused.
What aircraft type??
It can be checked on all types via the self test function of the EGPWS and on some types via the MCDU.
IOf you really need to know ask your (hopefully) friendly maintenance engineer. who I'm sure will be more than happy to tell you.

LRU Ident page will tell you, but that's in the maintenance area (CFDS/CMS), and shouldn't be accessed by flight crew (and can't be in flight). As mono said, any engineer will be able to tell you if you ask nicely.

If you press the GPWS p/b above the ND/Wx Radar brightness and let it go through the test cycle there should be a number displayed on the Nav Display. I was told that this is the GPWS database number....

have a look at the disks in the software stowage, or the page in the tech log with all the s/w numbers on. :ok:
