HAZARD AVOIDANCE
Terrain and obstacle information can be displayed on the following pages:
• Terrain Proximity Page • AUX - Trip Planning Page
• Navigation Map • Flight Plan Pages (except VNAV)
• PFD Inset Map
To display terrain and obstacle data on any page other than the Terrain Proximity Page:
1) Press the MAP Softkey,
2) Press the
TERRAIN Softkey.
Obstacles with heights greater than 200 feet above ground level (AGL) are displayed in three color levels
(Table 6-5). The G1000 adjusts colors automatically as the aircraft altitude changes.
Terrain Proximity may also be deselected from the Inset Map without affecting the terrain display on the MFD
maps.
Obstacles are displayed only at certain map zoom ranges, on certain maps, and will only be displayed if an
obstacle database is loaded on the SD card. In addition, all map zoom ranges are dependent on the zoom range
setting in the Navigation Map. If the zoom range on the Navigation Map is adjusted to below 20 nm, the highest
zoom range on all other maps is also adjusted proportionally. Table 6-6 shows the highest zoom range at which
obstacles are displayed on each page.

Table 6-6 Zoom Ranges for Displaying Obstacle Data
If an obstacle and the projected flight path intersect, the Terrain Proximity Page automatically zooms in to
place the potential point of impact on the display.
