The GPWS
About the GPWS
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 features a built-in Ground Proximity Warning
System – GPWS for short. Some panels already support a GPWS, in
which case you can easily disable FDC Live Cockpit! 2011`s GPWS on
the GPWS panel.
The GPWS produces audible warnings and alerts when various events
occur in the simulator. While most of the features – such as Low terrain
and Bank angle warnings – are not connected to the flight phases of
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011, features related to the landing and final
approach of the aircraft – such as altitude readings – will only be
activated when FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 is in the Approach or Landing
phases.
