A system that warns the pilot of an aircraft performing low level maneuvers of a dangerous flight profile monitors the altitude of the aircraft above ground, and provides a first specific warning to the pilot if the altitude of the aircraft drops below a predetermined minimum altitude above ground.

A system that warns the pilot of an aircraft performing low level maneuvers of a dangerous flight profile monitors the altitude of the aircraft above ground, and provides a first specific warning to the pilot if the altitude of the aircraft drops below a predetermined minimum altitude above ground. The system further monitors the roll angle and descent rate of the aircraft to provide a second specific warning if the descent rate of the aircraft exceeds a predetermined rate determined by the roll angle of the aircraft if the aircraft is below a second predetermined altitude above ground.
