A system and method of shifting a premature descent protection envelope for an aircraft has been developed. First, a premature descent protection envelope (PDP) is determined including a first boundary at a first distance from the runway. Next, a nominal approach path is determined for approaching the runway and an approach path angle. Also, a flight path angle of the aircraft is determined. The first boundary is shifted in an upward direction from the runway in response to the aircraft being below the nominal approach path, and the flight path angle being greater than the nominal approach path angle.
