Synthetic Vision; Terrain Information - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

SYNTHETIC VISION

Terrain is integrated within Synthetic Vision (when active) to provide land contours
(colors are consistent with those of the topographical map display), large water
features, towers, obstacles over 200' AGL, as well as visual and auditory alerts to
indicate the presence of terrain and obstacle threats relevant to the projected flight
path. Synthetic Vision terrain information is displayed in red and yellow shading on the
PFD. Refer to section 8.1 (Synthetic Vision) for more information.

TERRAIN INFORMATION

The areas of the terrain shaded red are predicted to be within 100 feet below or
above the aircraft. The yellow terrain areas are between the user-defined Caution
Elevation and 100 feet below the aircraft. By default, the Caution Elevation is 1,000
feet; therefore, the areas in yellow are between 1,000 feet and 100 feet below the
aircraft. The black areas are further than the Caution Elevation. A projected point of
impact is marked with an "X" symbol.
