Recommended Action
Follow the steps in Section 3.32 to reactivate the SVS/Pathways feature.
Verify that P/N 010-00442-43 terrain datacards are installed in the lower slot
of the PFD and MFD.
Verify that the alert messages shown in Table 5-2 are not displayed on the
PFD Alerts Window. If so, follow the solutions described in Table 5-2.
Verify that the G1000 AHRS and heading data are valid on the PFD. Verify
that a valid GPS 3D position solution is being received. Troubleshoot these
systems in accordance with sections 5.10.4 and 5.15.
If a terrain database update has just been performed, allow the system time
to initialize and verify the data. When the databases have been verified, the
current database cycle and version are reported on the MFD AUX – System
Status page.
