Talk:Ground proximity warning system

message: The U.S. FAA defines GPWS as a type of terrain awareness warning system.[1] More advanced systems, introduced in 1996,[2] are known as enhanced ground proximity warning system, although sometimes confusingly labeled with the TAWS term.
I think this should be rephrased.
As far as I know, the EGPWS is a TAWS. TAWS is the system, EGPWS is a product (from Honeywell) which implements the TAWS system. There are also other products implementing the TAWS system available on the market (from Garmin, Sandel, Shelton, ACSS/Thales).
As far as I know (once again), all TAWS systems include the GPWS system. GPWS is both a system and a product (Honeywell), as Honeywell managed to get their product name GPWS to be used to designate the GPWS system.
See FAA TSO-C92c (GPWS) & TSO-C151b (TAWS) for more information.

replies: text: As far as I know TAWS, GPWS and EGPWS are all generic acronymic terms used to refer to certain types of aircraft systems which are designed to prevent flight into tearrin. There also are proprietary names, such as (in the UK) TERPROM, which refer to specific company products. If Honeywell do own a trade mark or copyright on the name "GPWS" I think we should all be shown the legal evidence for this. Wittlessgenstein (talk) 19:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: GPWS and the superseding EGPWS are Honeywell (originally Sundstrand until AlliedSignal took Sundstrand over) brand names for its TAWS systems; TAWS is the generic term mentioned in airworthiness regulations. This is Honeywell's website for its EGPWS system, where it states, "Honeywell [comment: actually Sundstrand] pioneered the first Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) over 30 years ago. Today, we offer Enhanced TAWS protection in our "EGPWS" for thousands of aircraft of all types around the world"; IMO this article should be merged into the TAWS article.

thread_title:  EGPWS vs. TAWS 

message: I changed this statement (because it was not accurate):
"Since the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration required large airplanes to  carry such equipment in 1974, there has not been a single CFIT crash by a jet in U.S. airspace.[2]"
 
to read as follows:
"Since the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration required large airplanes to carry such equipment in 1974, there has not been a single passenger fatality, in a CFIT crash by a large jet in U.S. Airspace.[2]"
Although the original statement was derived from a speech by a FAA expert [2], it was not accurate, since there were three CFIT crashes of large jets in US airspace, after 1974.
----December 18, 1977, a UAL DC-8 freighter crashed into high terrain, while in a holding pattern, near Salt Lake City.  
----April 13, 1987, a Buffalo Airways 707-321C freighter crashed short of the runway, while conducting an ILS approach to the Kansas City airport.
----June 2, 1990, a Mark Air 737-200 crashed into rising terrain, while it was conducting a non-precision approach to the Unalakleet, Alaska airport.
All three were CFIT crashes of large jets, and all three only had flight crew and/or authorized company personnel on board.  I also inserted the word "large," because there have been one or more small jet (Lear Jet size) CFIT accidents too.

thread_title:  Inaccurate statement 

message: Although Don Bateman and team are credited with design and develoment, I think they were working under the old Allied-Signal banner, prior to Honeywell.. EGPWS was definetly developed in late 90's prior to the merger.. Unable to find an authoritive reference. B744B763 (talk) 00:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
