Narrative:

On an ILS approach to runway 11 at saez we broke out of the clouds and saw the runway and said; 'runway in sight landing.' at approximately 200 ft we got a 'whoop whoop pull up' terrain aural warning and warning light. We assess the conditions with runway clearly in sight and nothing between us and the runway and made the decision to land. After turning off the runway we wrote up the GPWS system and went to the hotel. Later that night I saw both outbound first officers and told them that we had written up the GPWS because it went off at 200 on landing. They also said that the same thing had happened to them on landing the day before at 200 ft. At dinner in discussing with my first officer it was thought that maybe something was wrong with the database information. We were wondering how many other flights had this happen to them.

Title: ACR FLT CREW RECEIVES EGPWS 'TERRAIN' WARNING ON SHORT; STABILIZED FINAL TO RWY 11 AT SAEZ. CONTINUED APCH AND LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT.

Narrative: ON AN ILS APCH TO RWY 11 AT SAEZ WE BROKE OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND SAW THE RWY AND SAID; 'RWY IN SIGHT LANDING.' AT APPROX 200 FT WE GOT A 'WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP' TERRAIN AURAL WARNING AND WARNING LIGHT. WE ASSESS THE CONDITIONS WITH RWY CLEARLY IN SIGHT AND NOTHING BETWEEN US AND THE RWY AND MADE THE DECISION TO LAND. AFTER TURNING OFF THE RWY WE WROTE UP THE GPWS SYSTEM AND WENT TO THE HOTEL. LATER THAT NIGHT I SAW BOTH OUTBOUND FIRST OFFICERS AND TOLD THEM THAT WE HAD WRITTEN UP THE GPWS BECAUSE IT WENT OFF AT 200 ON LANDING. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO THEM ON LANDING THE DAY BEFORE AT 200 FT. AT DINNER IN DISCUSSING WITH MY FO IT WAS THOUGHT THAT MAYBE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE DATABASE INFO. WE WERE WONDERING HOW MANY OTHER FLIGHTS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.
