The warning system includes a function generator for generating a signal representative of a minimum altitude over terrain as a function of the aircraft's speed. This signal is combined with a signal representing the aircraft's actual altitude over the terrain and if the aircraft is below this minimum altitude a warning signal is generated. A circuit is included to inhibit the warning signal, and thereby nuisance warnings, when the aircraft overflys another aircraft. In addition, electronic circuitry is disclosed for implementing the invention that is compatible with at least two separate types of air data computers.
