EGPWS & CFIT Prevention and Response Training
Course Outline
Target Learners: Flight Deck Crew / Pilots
Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents occur when an airworthy aircraft, fully under the control of the flight crew, is unintentionally flown into terrain, water, or obstacles — often without the crew’s awareness of the imminent hazard. CFIT continues to be one of the leading causes of aviation accidents worldwide.
This EGPWS & CFIT Prevention and Response Training course equips pilots and operational personnel with a thorough understanding of how CFIT accidents occur, contributing factors, and proven strategies to avoid them. The program provides in-depth instruction on the functionality, operation, and safety-critical role of Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GPWS) and Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS) in preventing CFIT incidents and managing terrain-related alerts effectively.
