Two models were evaluated with respect to Aviation Safety Reporting System incident reports related to the Ground Proximity Warning System. These reports were examined for consistency with the first model, which was found to be invalid. A second model was developed to better explain the data, and was found to be consistent with the data and with previous results related to responses to alerting systems.
