SYNTHETIC VISION (OPTIONAL)

WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. SVS is intended as an aid to situational
awareness only and may not provide the accuracy and/or fidelity upon which
to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or
traffic.
WARNING: Do not use SVS runway depiction as the sole means for
determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining
the proper approach path angle during landing.
Synthetic Vision System (SVS) functionality is offered as an optional enhancement
to the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck System.
SVS is primarily comprised of a computer-generated forward-looking, attitude
aligned view of the topography immediately in front of the aircraft from the pilot' s
perspective. SVS information is shown on the primary flight display (PFD).
SVS offers a three-dimensional view of terrain and obstacles. Terrain and
obstacles that pose a threat to the aircraft in flight are shaded yellow or red.
In addition to SVS enhancement to the PFD, the following feature enhancements
have been added to the PFD:
• Pathways
• Flight Path Marker
• Horizon Heading Marks
• Terrain and Obstacle Alerting
• Three-dimensional Traffic
• Airport Signs
• Runway Display
