generated and the EGPWS caution lights illuminate. If the

is repeated continuously until the warning envelope is exited.
If the aircraft penetrates the Mode 2B envelope with both gear
and flaps in the landing configuration, the aural "PULL UP"
messages are suppressed and the aural message "TERRAIN"
is repeated until the envelope is exited.

permitted before an alert is given is a function of the height of
the aircraft above the terrain as shown below. This protection
is available until the EGPWS determines that the aircraft has
gained sufficient altitude or that it is no longer in the takeoff

a low altitude go-around activates the EGPWS caution lights
and the aural message "DON'T SINK, DON'T SINK".
