The aircraft was on its flight from Stuttgart to Kayseri (Turkey). On board were seven crew members and 188 passengers. According to the report from the responsible pilot (PIC), during the turn onto the Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach for runway 25, the approach baseline towards the south was overflown. Between 7,500 ft and 6,200 ft, the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) triggered a "TERRAIN" caution message. The turn onto the approach baseline was intensified, and the descent was interrupted. The aircraft climbed back to 6,800 ft according to the PIC's report. The EGPWS caution message ceased during the turn, and the approach continued.
Based on the flight data stored on the Quick Access Recorder (QAR), the EGPWS triggered a "TERRAIN" caution message. The recorded barometric altitude at that time was 6,850 ft. 15 seconds later, an EGPWS "PULL UP" warning was recorded, and the barometric altitude recorded at that time was 6,700 ft.
According to the position data stored on the QAR, at the time of the EGPWS "PULL UP" warning, the aircraft was north of the approach baseline.
