Controlled flight into terrain has always been a major cause of accidents since the beginning of flight with nearly 40% of all accidents involving controlled flight into terrain. The Flight Cheetah automatically monitors your altitude in relation to terrain elevation and triggers an immediate alert when you are within 8 minutes and 500 ft. of any terrain conflict.

The Flight Cheetah provides a worldwide terrain database displaying the terrain contours color-coded in red, yellow and green depending how close they are an altitude to your aircraft. You can also display a background map with the same colors as you would see on your sectional chart.
