摘要

By utilizing a radio altimeter in conjunction with a measure of the aircraft speed, landing gear position and flap position, an aircraft terrain warning system is made possible which provides a voice warning indicating that the aircraft is too low with respect to the terrain when the aircraft is above a predetermined speed. For aircraft speeds below the predetermined speed, a voice warning is provided when the aircraft is below a predetermined altitude with the landing gear up indicating that the aircraft is too low with the gear up and when the gear is down and the flaps are not in a landing position and the aircraft descends below a second predetermined altitude a voice warning is generated indicating that the aircraft is too low with flaps up.
