PEAKS When the aircraft is greater than 500 feet (250 with gear
down) above the terrain in view, additional (green) color
DISPLAY
bands are presented. These added bands are computed and

displayed as a function of the highest and lowest elevations in
view.
The following table indicates the TAD colors and elevations
(Non-Peaks and Peaks).
Color Indication
Solid Red Terrain/Obstacle Threat Area – Warning.
Solid Yellow Terrain/Obstacle Threat Area – Caution.
High Density Terrain/Obstacle that is more than 2000 feet above aircraft
Red Fill altitude.
High Density Terrain/Obstacle that is between 1000 and 2000 feet above
Yellow Fill aircraft altitude.
Low Density Terrain/Obstacle that is 500 (250 with gear down) feet
Yellow Fill below to 1000 feet above aircraft altitude.
Solid Green Highest terrain not within 500 (250 with gear down) feet of
(Peaks only) aircraft altitude. May appear with dotted yellow terrain
when the aircraft altitude is within 500 feet (250 feet with
gear down) of terrain. Top 5% of Range.
High Density Terrain/Obstacle that is 500 (250 with gear down) feet
Green Fill below to 1000 below aircraft altitude.
(Peaks only) Terrain/Obstacle that is the middle elevation band. 1000 ft
Below A/C Top 35% of Range, or Top 5 Percentile
Low Density Terrain/Obstacle that is 1000 to 2000 feet below aircraft
Green Fill altitude.
(Peaks only) Terrain/Obstacle that is the lower elevation band. 2000 ft
Below A/C Top Half of Range, Top 15
Black No significant Terrain/Obstacle.
Low Density Water at sea level elevation (0 feet MSL).
Cyan Fill
(Peaks only)
Magenta Fill Unknown terrain. No terrain data in the database for the
magenta area shown.
Magenta may be displayed at or near the South and North
