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:
