Description - Daher-Socata TBM 900 Pilot's Information Manual

PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK
Information hereafter supplement or replace those of the standard airplane described in Section 7 "Description" of
the basic Pilot's Operating Handbook when the airplane is equipped with the option ""GARMIN" G1000
SYNTHETIC VISION SYSTEM".
SVS provides additional features on the G1000 primary flight display (PFD) which display the following
information :
Synthetic Terrain : an artificial, database derived, three dimensional view of the terrain ahead of the aircraft
within a field of view of approximately 30 degrees left and 35 degrees right of the aircraft heading. The terrain
data has a resolution of 9 arc seconds.
Obstacles : obstacles such as towers, including buildings over 200 AGL that are within the depicted
synthetic terrain field of view.
Flight Path Marker (FPM) : an indication of the current lateral and vertical path of the aircraft. The FPM is
always displayed when synthetic terrain is selected for display.
Pathway : a pilot selectable three dimensional representation of the programmed flight plan path that can be
selected for display alone or with the flight director anytime synthetic terrain is selected for display.
Traffic : a display on the PFD indicating the position of other aircraft detected by the Traffic Information
System (TIS) component of the G1000 system.
Horizon Line : a white line indicating the true horizon is always displayed on the SVS display.
Horizon Heading : a pilot selectable display of heading marks displayed just above the horizon line on the
PFD.
Airport Signs : pilot selectable "signposts" displayed on the synthetic terrain display indicating the position
of nearby airports that are in the G1000 database.
Runway Highlight : a highlighted presentation of the location and orientation of the runway(s) at the
departure and destination airports.
Use of Pathway
If Synthetic Terrain is displayed on the PFD, the Pathway may be used to assist the pilot's awareness of the
programmed lateral and vertical navigation path. The following sections describe the basic use of the Pathway in
various flight segments. For more detailed information, consult the G1000 Pilot's Guide.
- Departure
Prior to departure, load and activate the desired flight plan into the G1000 FMS, set the initial altitude on the
G1000 altitude selector and select GPS on the HSI display just as you would without the SVS system.
The programmed flight path will be displayed as a series of magenta boxes along the path at the flight plan
altitude subject to the following conditions :
If the first segment of the flight plan is a heading to altitude leg, the Pathway will not be displayed for that
segment. The first Pathway segment displayed will be the first GPS course leg.
The Pathway must be within the SVS field of view of 30 degrees left and 35 degrees right. If the
programmed path is outside that field of view, the Pathway will not be visible on the display until the
aircraft has turned toward the course.
The Pathway will be displayed at either the altitude selected on the G1000 selector OR the altitude
published for the procedure (e.g. SID) WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.
