Obstacles

Obstacles are represented on the synthetic display by two-dimensional tower
or windmill 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 based on relative altitude but will be colored to
match any SVT TERRAIN or TAWS Alert from that obstacle. Obstacles greater
than 1000 feet below the aircraft' s altitude are not shown. Obstacles are shown
behind the airspeed and altitude displays.
