We assume that the earthquake build up manifests itself at ionospheric altitudes in a different way at high, middle and low latitudes due to the various kinds of prevailing physical processes depending on earthquake location. To check this idea we have analyzed ALOUETTE ionospheric data obtained several days before and during equatorial earthquake with magnitude M-6,8 that happened on April 13, 1963 with epicenter 600 km north-west from Huancayo, Peru. We have obtained some confirmation of the idea of the local display or image of ionospheric earthquake precursor. Nevertheless it is important to study this phenomenon in different geophysical conditions in order to make the final conclusion about the concrete image of seismoionospheric precursor in equatorial ionosphere.
