The EGPWS system will adjust colours on the terrain display automatically as the aircraft altitude changes. The terrain display transitions between the lower altitude relative display and the higher altitude peaks display automatically. No pilot action is required. The most important function of the EGPWS is to give the pilot easy interpreted information about terrain/obstacles relative to the aircraft, and increase the situational awareness for the pilot. In general, the normal presentation of green, yellow and red colours. #egpws #avionics #helicopters Aircrafts & Helicopters #aircraftmaintenancetechnician
