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 used on the Map Page as described in the Topography with Terrain
Proximity Alerts Section.
Obstacles are shown at their actual height above the ground. In other words, if the flight path
marker is above the top of an obstacle in the Synthetic Vision version, your aircraft should clear
it in real life as well.
The tower symbology used to denote different types of obstacles is the same as used in the
Moving Map depiction. See the Moving Map Symbology section of this guide for more
information.
Traffic on Synthetic Vision
When a device that can receive traffic information is installed and configured, traffic can be
displayed within the Synthetic Vision display to improve situational awareness.
Figure 45 - Traffic Display on Synthetic Vision
Traffic information is informational only, and does not relieve the pilot-in-command
of his or her responsibility to see and avoid traffic.
The graphical depiction of traffic is only displayed when Synthetic Vision is turned
on via the PFD>SYNVIS menu option. However, the yellow textual “TRAFFIC” alert
message on the PFD page is always shown when Traffic Advisories are known and
traffic is enabled.
