6.7 PROFILE VIEW TERRAIN
WARNING:
Do not use Profile View Terrain data for primary terrain avoidance. Profile View Terrain is intended
only to enhance situational awareness.
NOTE:
Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft is outside of the installed terrain database coverage
area.
The G1000 offers a Profile View of terrain and obstacles relative to the aircraft’s current flight path and altitude
on the Navigation Map Page of the MFD. Profile View does not provide terrain or obstacle caution or warning
annunciations or voice alerts, nor does it display potential impact points inside the Profile View. The colors and
symbols in Figure 6-142 and Table 6-20 are used to represent terrain and obstacles.
