Synthetic Vision terrain information is displayed in red and yellow shading on thePFD. Refer to section 8.1 (Synthetic Vision) for more information.TERRAIN INFORMATIONThe areas of the terrain shaded red are predicted to be within 100 feet below orabove the aircraft. The yellow terrain areas are between the user-defined CautionElevation and 100 feet below the aircraft. By default, the Caution Elevation is 1,000feet; therefore, the areas in yellow are between 1,000 feet and 100 feet below theaircraft. The black areas are further than the Caution Elevation.
