The EGPWS uses aircraft inputs including geographic position, attitude, altitude, ground speed, vertical speed and glideslope deviation. These are used with internal terrain, obstacles, and airport databases to predict a potential conflict between the aircraft flight path and terrain or an obstacle.
What are the main components of GPWS?
- Air Data System (Barometric Altitude and static air temperature)
- Inertial Reference Unit (Inertial Navigation Unit if installed).
- Instrument Landing System.
- Radio Altimeters.
