EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
so what do you think the GPWS will/should do?

Thanks for the concern Alex! Not to worry though, I just filled in a PIREP slightly wrong so it looked like I'd done a class 3 flight before I had enough hours.  It's all sorted now though, just a misunderstanding.

EHM-0744 Alex:
What is a GPWS? Like a GPS? :s

EHM-0240 Joe:
GPWS is Ground Proximity Warning System.

I think it means something like a computer voice that shouts out how far from the ground you are when landing.

I may be wrong though.

Yes, that's what I'm working on; although there are systems much more complex than that, with vertical radar, I'm just working with voice warnings.

Bye bye
