Obstacles

Obstacles are represented on the synthetic display by standard two-
dimensional tower symbols found on the MFD maps and charts. Obstacle
symbols appear in the perspective view with relative height above terrain and
distance from the aircraft.
Unlike the MFD moving map display, obstacles on the synthetic terrain
display do not change colors to warn of potential conflict with the aircraft' s flight
path until the obstacle is associated with an actual FLTA alert. Obstacles greater
than 1000 feet below the aircraft' s altitude are not shown. Obstacles are shown
behind the airspeed and altitude displays.
