ADDITIONAL FEATURES
TERRAIN ALERTING
Terrain alerting on the synthetic terrain display is triggered by Forward-looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA)
alerts from the Terrain-SVT or optional TAWS system, and corresponds to the yellow terrain shading for
a caution alert and the red shading for a warning alert on the navigation maps. These yellow or red areas
represent potential impact areas. For more detailed information about terrain displays and alerting, refer to
the Hazard Avoidance section.
In some instances, a terrain or obstacle alert may be issued with no conflict shading displayed on the
synthetic terrain. In these cases, the conflict is outside the SVT field of view to the left or right of the aircraft.
