5.5.3.6 Traffic
Traffic symbols are displayed in their approximate respective location as
determined by the related traffic systems. TIS, TAS and ADS-B traffic are all
displayed. Traffic is displayed in three dimensions, appearing larger as they are
getting closer, and smaller when they are further away.

appear in the perspective view with relative height above terrain and distance
from the aircraft.

Figure 5-50 Obstacle Depiction on PFD
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.
