10.8.3 Displaying TAWS-A Data
TAWS-A uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain and
obstacle (with a height greater than 200 feet above ground level, AGL) alerts
relative to aircraft altitude. Depictions of obstacles more than 200 feet below the
aircraft are removed. Colors are adjusted automatically as the aircraft altitude
changes. The colors and symbols in Figure 10-11 and Tables 10-7 and 11-12 are
used to represent terrain, obstacles, and threat locations.

Table 10-23 Obstacle Icon Types
Grouped obstacles are shown with an asterisk (as shown in the Windmill in
Group example above). The color of the asterisks is tied to the relative altitude
of the highest obstacle in the group, not other obstacles within that group.
Obstacles are grouped when they would otherwise overlap.
