TERRAIN PROXIMITY PAGE

The Terrain Proximity Page is in the MAP group of pages and displays the following:

• Current aircraft location

• GPS-derived MSL altitude in increments of 20 feet or 10 meters, depending on unit configuration.

• Range marking rings (360º View: 1 nm, 1 and 2 nm, 2.5 and 5 nm, 5 and 10 nm, 12.5 and 25 nm, 25 and 50

nm, 50 and 100 nm, 100 and 200 nm) (Arc View: 1 nm, 2 nm, 5 nm, 10 nm, 25 nm, 25 and 50 nm, 25 and
100 nm, 25 and 200 nm)

• Map Orientation (North Up, Track Up, DTK Up, HDG Up) - Displays ‘HDG Up’ map data unless there is no

valid heading

• Terrain - Displays information relative to current aircraft altitude

• Terrain Legend - Indicates the terrain elevation in colors relative to the aircraft altitude
