Two views are displayed on the Terrain (TER) Page: the Map View, and the Profile 

View.  The areas of the terrain shaded red are predicted to be within 100 feet below 
or above the aircraft.  The yellow terrain areas are between the user-defined Caution 
Elevation and 100 feet below the aircraft.  By default, the Caution Elevation is 1,000 
feet; therefore, the areas in yellow are between 1,000 feet and 100 feet below the 
aircraft.  The black areas are further than the Caution Elevation.  A projected point of 
impact is marked with an “X” symbol. 

Obstacles are shown on the Terrain Page at or below the map range of 12 nm. 

Obstacles are also shown on the Map Page when the map range is set to 3 nm or 
below. 

Standard aeronautical chart symbols are used for lighted or unlighted obstacles 

taller than 200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).  Refer to the Obstacle Icons legend 
below. 

Each obstacle is labeled with the altitude of the top of the obstacle, or Mean Sea 

Level (MSL).  Each obstacle also lists, in parentheses, the actual height of the obstacle, 
or Above Ground Level (AGL).

within 100’ below 
current aircraft 
altitude
CAUTION: Yellow
