To increase the effectivity of warnings and to decrease nuisance warnings in a ground proximity warning system having several modes of operation, the switching from one mode to another is done as a function of radio altitude and time. In addition, in a ground proximity warning system where a warning signal is generated in accordance with a predetermined relationship between flight parameters, one or more of these parameters can be varied as a function of radio altitude and time in order to, for example, increase the altitude above ground as a function of radio altitude and time from take-off that a terrain clearance warning is generated or to decrease as a function of radio altitude and time, the radio altitude below which a negative climb after take-off warning is generated. |
