DISPLAYING TERRAIN PROXIMITY DATA
The MAP - TERRAIN PROXIMITY Page is the principal page for viewing terrain and obstacle information.
The system uses the symbols and colors in the following figure and table to represent obstacles and aircraft
altitude on the MAP - TERRAIN PROXIMITY Page. Terrain Proximity uses black, yellow, and red to represent
terrain information relative to aircraft altitude. The color of each obstacle is associated with the altitude of the
aircraft.
