Moving Map Symbology
Topography with Terrain Proximity Alerts
SkyView’s Terrain Proximity Alerting should not be used
as the primary terrain avoidance tool. It should be used
as an aide with primary navigation instruments, charts,
and other tools.
Moving Map terrain is displayed in sectional chart color variations,
representing various topographical elevations. Major bodies of water
are displayed as solid blue.
The SkyView Moving Map also adds Terrain Proximity Alerting:
Yellow
terrain default setting is between 100 and 1000 feet below the aircraft's current
altitude.
Red
terrain default setting is within 100 feet below or above the aircraft's current
altitude.
Aircraft Icon with Ground Track Line
The aircraft icon as shown in Figure 55 represents your aircraft on the Moving Map Page. The
ground track line represents the projected ground track of the aircraft. The aircraft icon in the
figure below denotes that SkyView has obtained a GPS fix, and points in the magnetic heading
of the aircraft. When GPS communication is present, but a fix has not been obtained, a question
mark (?) shows up on top of the icon. In North Up, the plane symbol will rotate with the
compass heading. In Track Up, the compass rose and plane will rotate with the compass
heading.
