DISPLAYING TERRAIN PROXIMITY DATA
The Map - Terrain Proximity Page is the principal page for viewing terrain and obstacle information. The
symbols and colors in the figure and table below are used to represent obstacles and aircraft altitude when the
Terrain Proximity Page is selected for display. Terrain Proximity uses black, yellow, and red to represent terrain
information relative to aircraft altitude. The color of each obstacle is associated with the altitude of the aircraft.
1000 ft
Aircraft Altitude

00 ft Threshold
Terrain Above Aircraft Altitude
Red terrain is above
or within 100 ft below
the aircraft altitude
Yellow terrain is between 100 ft and 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude
Black terrain is more than 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude

Table 6-14 Terrain Proximity Terrain/Obstacle Colors and Symbology
Terrain and obstacle information can be displayed on the following pages:
• PFD Inset Map
• Navigation Map Page
• Terrain Proximity Page
• Trip Planning Page
• Flight Plan Page
Displaying terrain and obstacle information (maps other than the Terrain Proximity Page):
1)
Select the
MAP
Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, select the
INSET
Softkey).
2)
Select the
TERRAIN
Softkey to display terrain and obstacle data.
When Terrain Proximity is selected on maps other than the Terrain Proximity Page, an icon to indicate the
feature is enabled for display and a legend for Terrain Proximity colors are shown (Figure 6-128).
The Navigation Map Page Setup Menu provides a means in addition to the softkey for enabling/disabling
display of terrain and obstacles. The setup menu also controls the map range settings above which terrain and
obstacle data are decluttered from the display. If a map range larger than the map range setting is selected, the
data is removed from the map.
