Editing Ground proximity warning system (section)

== Incidents ==
In commercial and airline operations, there are legally mandated procedures that must be followed should an EGPWS caution or warning occur. Both pilots must respond and act accordingly once the alert has been issued. In Indonesia, the captain of [[Garuda Indonesia Flight 200]] was charged with manslaughter for not adhering to these procedures.<ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas |first=Geoffrey |url=http://atwonline.com/operations/yogyakarta-crash-captain-arrested-charged-manslaughter |title=ATW: Yogyakarta crash captain arrested, charged with manslaughter |publisher=Atwonline.com |date=February 6, 2008 |access-date=April 29, 2019}}</ref>

In 2015, [[Air France]] Flight 953 (a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft) avoided controlled flight into terrain after the EGPWS detected [[Mount Cameroon]] in the aircraft's flight path. The pilot flying immediately responded to the initial warning from the EGPWS.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hradecky |first1=Simon |title=Incident: Air France B772 near Douala on May 2nd 2015, GPWS averts controlled flight into terrain at FL090 |url=http://avherald.com/h?article=4867f2bd&opt=0 |website=The Aviation Herald |access-date=21 April 2022}}</ref>
