SafeTaxi Functional Check

The maximum map ranges for enhanced detail are configurable by the flight crew. When zoomed in close
enough to show the airport detail, the map reveals runways with numbers, taxiways with identifying
letters/numbers, and airport landmarks including ramps, buildings, control towers, and other prominent
features. Resolution is greater at lower map ranges. When the aircraft location is within the screen
boundary, including within SafeTaxi ranges, an airplane symbol is shown on any of the navigation map
views for enhanced position awareness.
Any map page that displays the navigation view can also show the SafeTaxi airport layout, within the
maximum configured range. The following is a list of pages where the SafeTaxi feature can be seen:
