The Profile View is based on the current aircraft track (or heading if track is unavailable) and shows the
highest
known terrain or obstacles within a predetermined width from the present aircraft position to the end of the
profile range. The width of the Profile View (Table 6-8) is determined by the phase of flight, as annunciated on
the HSI. Refer to the Flight Instruments section for more information about flight phases.
