DISPLAYING TERRAIN PROXIMITY DATA

The symbols and colors in Figure 6-1 and Table 6-1 are used to represent obstacles and aircraft altitude when

the Terrain Proximity Page is selected for display. Terrain Proximity uses black, yellow, and red to represent
terrain information relative to aircraft altitude. The color of each obstacle is associated with the altitude of the
aircraft.

the aircraft altitude

Yellow terrain is between 100 ft and 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude

Black terrain is more than 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude
