The EGPWS provides visual and/or audio alerts for detected:
• potentially dangerous terrain conditions (modes 1 – 4, TCF,
TAD),
• below glideslope conditions (mode 5),
• descent below predefined altitudes or excessive bank angle
(mode 6),
These consist of warning, caution, and advisory alerts based on
the detection alert threshold penetration.
