PATHWAYS
NOTE: Pathways and terrain features are not a substitute for standard course
and altitude deviation information provided by the CDI, VSI, and VDI.
NOTE: Pathways boxes may not be displayed for holding patterns, procedure
turns and certain portions of the flight plan being received from an external
GPS navigator.
Pathways provide a three-dimensional perspective view of the selected route of
flight shown as colored rectangular boxes representing the horizontal and vertical
flight path of the active flight plan. The box size represents 700 feet wide by 200 feet
tall during enroute, oceanic, and terminal flight phases. During an approach, the box
width is 700 feet or one half full scale deviation on the HSI, whichever is less. Other
than the descending portion of an ILS or WAAS GPS approach (starting from the leg
leading into the FAF), pathways boxes are shown at the level of the altitude bug.
The color of the rectangular boxes may be magenta, green, or white depending
on the route of flight and navigation source selected. The active GPS or GPS overlay
flight plan leg is represented by magenta boxes that correspond to the Magenta CDI.
A localizer course is represented by green boxes that correspond to a green CDI. An
inactive leg of an active flight plan is represented by white boxes corresponding to a
white line drawn on the Navigation Map indicating an inactive leg.
