Table 6-19 Terrain Proximity Terrain/Obstacle Colors and Symbology
Terrain and obstacle information can be displayed on the following pages:
• PFD Inset Map
• Navigation Map Page
• Terrain Proximity Page
• Trip Planning Page
• Flight Plan Page
• AUX - Video Page
Displaying terrain and obstacle information (maps other than the Terrain Proximity Page):
1)
Press the
MAP
Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, press the
INSET
Softkey).
2)
Press the
TERRAIN
Softkey to display terrain and obstacle data.
When Terrain Proximity is selected on maps other than the Terrain Proximity Page, an icon to indicate the
feature is enabled for display and a legend for Terrain Proximity colors are shown (Figure 6-139).
The Navigation Map Page Setup Menu provides a means in addition to the softkey for enabling/disabling
display of terrain and obstacles. The setup menu also controls the map range settings above which terrain and
obstacle data are decluttered from the display. If a map range larger than the map range setting is selected, the
data is removed from the map.
