The ground proximity warning system is an instrument. The ground proximity warning system is configured for use with a private aviation aircraft. The private aviation aircraft further comprises landing gear and a cockpit. The ground proximity warning system measures the altitude of the private aviation aircraft from a landing strip when the private aviation aircraft is within 3 meters of the landing strip. The ground proximity warning system generates an audible series of clicks within the cockpit to indicate the altitude to a pilot. A higher click frequency indicates a lower altitude. The ground proximity warning system comprises a trigger circuit, a selection circuit, a pulse generator, a detector circuit, a dividing circuit, a buffer, and a cockpit speaker. The trigger circuit, the selection circuit, the pulse generator, the detector circuit, the dividing circuit, the buffer, and the cockpit speaker are electrically interconnected.
