8. Terrain View
INTRODUCTION
The terrain view depiction is threat--based and highlights threatening
terrain in various colors depending on the vertical proximity of the
terrain to the current aircraft altitude. A terrain database is used to
provide terrain and obstacle awareness.
Terrain cells are based on the difference between the terrain and aircraft
computed baro--corrected or GPS (not pressure altitude) height in
mean sea level (MSL). Accurate relative terrain presentation depends
entirely on an accurate barometric altimeter setting.
CAUTION
TERRAIN INFORMATION IS FOR AWARENESS ONLY. DO NOT
MANEUVER BASED SOLELY ON THIS INFORMATION.

the menu, described in Section 4, Menu.
