PROFILE PATH
The contents of the Profile View Window are based on the current aircraft track (or heading if track is
unavailable), and the system shows the
highest
known terrain or obstacles within a predetermined width from
the present position to the end of the profile range inside the Profile View Window. This width is determined by
the phase of flight, as annunciated on the HSI, and is widest during enroute and oceanic phases, and narrowest
during approach and departure phases.

The Profile Path display is a visual cue which represents the horizontal and lateral boundaries of the Profile
View on the MAP - NAVIGATION MAP Page. This path is depicted as a white rectangle and is only available
when Profile View is enabled. White range markers both edges of the Profile Path match the range markers
along the distance scale inside the Profile View Window. The Profile View distance must be at least four
nautical miles (or 7.5 km if configured for metric units) in order for the path display to appear on the MAP -
NAVIGATION MAP Page.
The pilot can enable or disable the Profile Path display on the Navigation Map. The pilot can also select
the maximum navigation map range to show the Profile Path. If a map range is selected beyond the selected
maximum range, the system removes the Profile Path display.
