SafeTaxi

SafeTaxi ® is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail when zooming
in on airports at close range. The airport display on the map reveals runways
with numbers, taxiways with identifying letters/numbers, airport Hot Spots,
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
aircraft symbol is shown on any of the navigation map views for enhanced
position awareness.
Designated Hot Spots are recognized at airports with many intersecting
taxiways and runways, and/or complex ramp areas. Airport Hot Spots are
outlined to caution pilots of areas on an airport surface where positional
awareness confusion or runway incursions happen most often. Hot Spots are
defined with a magenta circle or outline around the region of possible confusion.

NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi or Chartview functions as the basis for
ground maneuvering. SafeTaxi and Chartview functions do not comply
with the requirements of AC 20-159 and are not qualified to be used as
an airport moving map display (AMMD). SafeTaxi and Chartview are to
be used by the flight crew to orient themselves on the airport surface to
improve pilot situational awareness during ground operations.
