"AnthonyQ" wrote in message It does not give any terrain warning.

In the US, starting this quarter, all turbine powered equipment with six
passenger seats or more will be required to have Terrain Awareness Warning
Systems (TAWS) installed. This equipment is required on private as well as
commercial equipment, freight or passenger, jet or turboprop. TAWS uses GPS
positioning compared against topographic mapping to determine if a threat
exists. A screen shows the mountains near you. Red is bad. Green is okay.
This equipment would have been helpful in the incident Ram is asking about.
