Terrain Information
The areas of the terrain appearing in red are predicted
to be within 100 feet above or below the altitude of
the aircraft. The yellow terrain areas are predicted to
be between the user-defined Caution Elevation and
100 feet below the altitude of the aircraft. By default,
the Caution Elevation is 1000 feet; therefore, the
areas in yellow are between 1000 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.
