No warning system is a ‘silver bullet’ that prevents all bad events. It’s possible a pilot could make a bad situation worse if they misunderstand how the system works. Imagine heeding the “pull-up” warning when you’re near a stall condition. Very bad. But knowing at what speeds and such a pull up alert would be triggered from the GPWS might serve as intended… as you said, to keep you from having a bad day.

Hello, Why does the system play the callouts with low volume? In a real aircraft you would hear almost nothing because of all kind of noises coming from cooling systems, ventilators ect. Except if you use a headphone on the module. Is it possible to make a video of testing EGPWS of an A300-600/A310? Greetings.
@thequinnreapernovaco.7497Ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for watching and for your question. The volume on the GPWS is low because at full volume, it's really loud! As it should be. But since I'm in my home lab and usually shoot my videos in the late evening, I've reduced the volume via a potentiometer so as not to be a disturbance. In later videos, I increase the volume slightly as I agree... it is too quiet in this video. Unfortunately, I don't have an EGPWS computer used on an A300. Even used, more modern GPWS computers are very expensive. The model series I have dates from the early 1990s and so while still fully-functional, had been phased out by newer systems. Wish I could be of more help. Incidentally, your first 747-200 video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5DXc6eForRma7s) does a good job showing the radio altimeter indicator during landing.

Im not understanding, why are you using an attenuator?
@thequinnreapernovaco.7497Ай бұрын
@@mrdouble I didn’t elaborate but should have. The reason I’m using an attenuator into my scope is because the direct 26VAC (RMS) signal right from the DC-AC inverter has too much amplitude to display on my scope. A 26VAC RMS sine wave is equivalent to nearly 74V peak-to-peak!! My scope’s built in attenuators can only reduce a signal to about 40Vp-p, so I had to attenuate the 74Vp-p signal -30dBm to something more displayable. My -30dBm attenuator is rated to 50W so it was perfect for the job… that raw voltage from the inverter is nearly 14 watts so I couldn’t have used my lower rated attenuator. Apologies for not explaining that all better in the video.

If you have any type of variable speed controllers, 50/60hz vfd's or dc drives, or even a variac to run a series universal type motor found in electric drills, saws, blenders, ect, you can employ an automotive alternator to get varied frequency, from really low ----- to up into kHz range if spun fast enough. Just find a good way to couple the motor to the alternator. Just another rather primitive way to do it, but it works. Take the diode voltage regulator out of the alternator, and you can get any voltage you want also. At least up over 200v anyway. Would be afraid to take it much higher. And they put out lots of amps too. Also it's 3 phase, so it would have to be balanced if using single phase. Again just more to consider for those that may have these things laying around already.

I replied to one of your replies to my comment on the last video, however, it’s not there anymore so don’t know if it went through. It wasn’t anything important though. Anyways, here’s everything I can think of right now, let me know if you need any clarification as it's hard to describe some of the scenarios: How does the system handle minimums callouts very close to altitude callouts? (I.e. say, you have the minimums just under 200, will it cut "200" off to say "Minimums") If a higher priority warning plays over an altitude callout, can you still trip the voice? (I.e. say you receive a warning such as “Terrain Terrain” whilst passing through 500 ft. The “Terrain” voice will override the callout. So does rising back above and passing the 500 ft. again cause "500" to play?) Below what RA do most warnings cease (I.e. If you have “Too Low Gear” playing, does descending below ~50 ft. stop the audio? I know mode 6 seems to always be available no matter the altitude.) How do the GPWC validity discreet inputs effect warning logic. (I.e. if G/S validity is not present, do the rest of the modes continue to work? Does mode 6 still work with no baro rate validity?) If the GPWC has an RA input well above ground and loses the RA validity discrete, can you run the self-test? Can you trip mode 4C? The boundary for 4C slowly builds under the aircraft after takeoff to 75% of RA. As an example, climbing from 0 to 500 ft. waiting ~20 seconds then dropping down to <375 ft. should cause “Too Low Terrain” to sound. Can you video the G/S warning repetition rates again? I couldn’t really hear the warnings very well. I'm trying to tell the delay between each soft and hard warning. Also, during the soft messages, is the delay between each message consistent or does it change depending on the G/S deviation and RA height? Just as a soft glideslope warning plays, can you descend into the hard warning boundary? I would like to see how it handles transitioning to a hard warning. Where is the air to ground and ground to air transition at? The system enables the self-test switch on the ground and disables it in the air. I believe the division between what is considered on ground and in air is around 50ft RA. So if you can see at what point you are no longer able to run the self-test and when you are able to again. Does gear position change this? And the rest require baro rate: If the baro rate is very rapidly adjusted from level into a decent (well into the “Pull Up” envelope), does one full enunciation of “Sink Rate” preface the continuous “Pull Up”. If the baro rate is adjusted so that the decent is just enough that “Sink Rate” is enunciated, does moving the glideslope indication to full fly-down stop the warning? Conversely, if baro rate is just barely outside of the sink rate boundary so that there is no warning, does moving the glideslope indication to full fly-up start the “Sink Rate” warning? (Theoretically full fly-up expands the sink rate boundary by 300fpm, and full fly-down reduces it by 300fpm.) Test Mode 3 (I guess it uses baro rate and dead reckoning instead of actual baro altitude) Thank you! (And of course no worries if you aren't able to test any of these or they are too complex to set up.) P.S. out of curiosity, do you have the equipment necessary to generate 400hz AC power?

In fact, the whole purpose is to impart as little force as possible so as not to compress and throw off any measurement. This is why mikes will have a ratchet or friction sleeves on the part you turn with your fingers so once the anvil makes contact with your part, no more force will be applied than the ratchet or friction slip allows. It keeps force consistent. Even with that slip feature, as my video describes its still very important to be aware of just how fast the spindle can move when turned. As you approach your parts, slow down and be careful. You don’t want your anvil slamming into your part!

The Quinn Reaper Nova & Co. Thank you very much. Also I've looked around the internet, and I've decided to go with a 2 or 2-1/2 inch lift on just the rear.

Nice! That's small enough where you shouldn't encounter too many (if any noticeable) suspension geometry related issues.

I should have mentioned in the description when this was shot, but it was actually afternoon! The "moon" is actually the sun! The footage actually does looks like it was shot at night. The scope was in White Hot mode.
