The EGPWS terrain alarm was triggered at 085909 during the approach to Xinzhou Wutaishan Apt. (ZBXZ) of flight LT4343. The "pull up" alarm was triggered 8s later. The crew went around and the terrain alarm disappeared at 085936 local time. The aircraft touched down normally at 092049.
According to CAAC investigations, the cause of the incident was that the crew set the QFE as 992, while the actual QFE was 922. This caused the aitimeter altitude to be 1890ft higher than the actual altitude. The crew also failed to conduct the standard procedures when encountering a "terrain ahead pull up" alarm.
A GPS system failure, the lack of information in the navigation database and the poor training and management of the airline also contributed to the incident.
