And do we really have 2 different EGPWS escape guidance maneuvers? One for mountainous terrain and one for non-mountainous terrain? The former says to pitch to 25-35 degrees initially, the latter says 10 degrees initially, then 25-35 if ground contact seems iminent. In a PC, do I ask if I am currently over mountainous terrain??
All this new stuff I am learning........

I don't speak portugese but apparently a direct view window is the window where you can directly view your 9 and 3 o'clock. and yes we have two different procedures, and yes you're reading too much! the whole idea of cfit is that you may not be where you think you are (i.e. american 757 in cali) so if in doubt go to 25*. but if in IAH for example (no mountains for hundreds of miles) 10* would do. luckily the book does clarify that in mountainous terrain "with or without radar control" go to 25*, so at least you dont' have to ask the sim instructor if you're in radar control...
another example of the book having too many words.
