is presented the same as the color of the terrain display
containing that elevation (i.e., red if the terrain/obstacle with
that elevation is depicted as red in the terrain plan view, yellow
if yellow, etc.).
When the aircraft is 500 feet (250 with gear down) or less
above the terrain in view (yellow or red is displayed), the Peaks
color scheme is identical to the standard display, with the ex-
ception of the addition of sea level when supported by the
display.
Note: some displays do not support cyan (blue) and will not
display sea level in this case.
Note: Differences may exist between the highest terrain/
obstacle being displayed and the digital elevation value/
color of the "Peaks" numbers at or near the top and sides
of the display.
The following illustrate the Peaks display at a low relative
altitude.
