Obstacles
SkyView’s Moving Map represents
obstacles using the same symbology
found on sectional charts, as shown in
Figure 63 and Figure 64. Only high-
intensity lighted obstacles are shown
as lit.
The geographic location of the
obstacle is represented by the tip on
single icons and the point directly
between the tips of group icons.
Obstacles are only shown on the
Moving Map if their highest point is
within 1000 feet below your aircraft’s
GPS altitude. If the highest point of an
obstacle is within 100 feet below your
current GPS altitude to anywhere
above you, it will be red. If the highest
point of the obstacle is between 100
and 1000 feet below your current GPS
altitude, the obstacle will be yellow.
This is the same color scheme
mentioned in the Topography with
Terrain Proximity Alerts Section.
