GPS Ground Proximity Warning System
| Abstract: | Conventional Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GPWS) have several limitations. This paper describes a GPWS using GPS altitude and a stored table of highest points in each area. The GPSGPWS can work in conjunction with conventional GPWSs to reduce the incidence of airplane-ground collisions. |
