EGPWS stands for Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System. EGPWS is like a very smart helper for pilots that helps them make sure the airplane doesn't get too close to the ground or obstacles. It does this by using lots of information like how high the airplane is, how fast it's going, and where the ground and obstacles are.
EGPWS works kind of like a super smart computer that is always watching everything that is happening. If it thinks the airplane might get too close to the ground or an obstacle, it will tell the pilots with a loud voice and some flashing lights. This helps the pilots know if they need to change something to keep the airplane safe.
EGPWS is really important because it helps make sure the airplane doesn't have any accidents and keeps everyone safe. It's like having a really good friend that always watches out for you and makes sure you are safe.
