Had pilot bulletin about CYYC EGPWS unreliable on some aircraft. VMC clear. Got a Too Low Terrain warning on short final approach approximately 50-75 ft. AGL to RWY 35R. ATIS report was 40 mile vis. Clear skies. FO was hand flying; Captain monitoring pilot. Instead of reaching over the throttle quadrant and flap lever to inhibit terrain possibly causing a subsequent abnormal situation; knowing that the landing is safe; I opted of having FO land the aircraft.
B737 Captain reading a company bulletin concerning false EGPWS warnings under certain circumstances; then experiencing an EGPWS terrain warning at 50 feet on final to Runway 35R at CYYC. In VMC with the First Officer flying; the Captain allows the approach to continue to landing without silencing the warning.
