FLIGHT PATH MARKER

The Flight Path Marker (FPM), also known as a Velocity Vector, is displayed on the PFD at
groundspeeds above 30 knots. The FPM depicts the approximate projected path of the aircraft
accounting for wind speed and direction relative to the three-dimensional terrain display.
The FPM is always available when the Synthetic Vision feature is in operation. The FPM
represents the direction of the flight path as it relates to the terrain and obstacles on the
display, while the airplane symbol represents the aircraft heading.
The FPM may be used to identify a possible conflict with the aircraft flight path and distant
terrain or obstacles. Displayed terrain or obstacles in the aircraft's flight path extending above
the FPM could indicate a potential conflict, even before a terrain alert is issued. However,
decisions regarding terrain and/or obstacle avoidance should not be made using only the FPM.
