I managed a comprehensive evaluation during an EGPWS test flight from Boeing Field. RAAS is a very impressive alerting and warning system.
As sensor and mapping accuracies improve, RAAS will save many aircraft and even more crew, mainly from the embarrassment or the consequences of their errors.
Whilst the system is not as comprehensive as its host computer EGPWS, e.g RAAS cannot detect controller blunders such as the incident at Boston, it will catch most crew errors. See the operating modes in MJs link. ***** Buy it!
