With Terrain Display selected on, digital values representing the
highest terrain/obstacle elevation and the elevation for the bot
-
tom of the lowest color band are displayed, based on the range
selected (terrain in view).
Note: Differences may exist between the highest terrain/ob-
stacle being displayed and the digital elevation value/color
of the "Peaks" number at or near the top and sides of the
display.
The location of the digital values can vary somewhat, as defined
for the display used, but for this guide these will be shown in the
lower right corner of the display. These elevations are expressed
in hundreds of feet above sea level (e.g., 125 is 12,500 feet MSL)
with the highest elevation on top and the lowest on the bottom.
However, in the event that there is no appreciable difference in
the terrain/obstacle elevations (flat terrain), only the highest
value is displayed. Additionally, the color of the elevation value is
presented the same as the color of the terrain display containing
that elevation. In other words, if the highest displayed terrain/ob
-
stacle is red and the lowest is green, then the top numeric is red
and the bottom numeric is green.
When the aircraft is 500 feet (250 with gear down) or less above
the terrain in view (yellow and/or red is displayed), the Peaks
color scheme is identical to the Non-Peaks display, with the ex
-
ception of the addition of sea level when supported by the display.
Note: some displays do not support cyan (blue) and will not
display sea level in this case.
