6.4 PROFILE VIEW TERRAIN

Do not use Profile View Terrain data for primary terrain avoidance. Profile View Terrain is intended
WARNING:
only to enhance situational awareness.
Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft is outside of the installed terrain database coverage
NOTE:
area.
The G950 offers a Profile View of terrain and obstacles relative to the aircraft' s current flight path and altitude
on the Navigation Map Page of the MFD. Profile View does not provide terrain or obstacle caution or warning
annunciations or voice alerts, nor does it display potential impact points inside the Profile View. The colors
and symbols used to represent terrain and obstacles are the same as those used in Terrain Proximity discussed
previously.
Accessing Profile View:
1) Select the Navigation Map Page.
2) Press the MAP Softkey.
3) Press the PROFILE Softkey to enable or disable Profile View.
Or:
1) Press the MENU Key.
2) Select 'Show Profile View' or 'Hide Profile View' (choice dependent on current state) and press the ENT Key.
Enabling/Disabling Profile View Terrain on the Navigation Map (when Profile View is enabled):
1) Select the Navigation Map Page.
2) Press the MAP Softkey.
3) Press the TERRAIN Softkey.

PROFILE VIEW DISPLAY

When the Profile View is enabled, it is displayed in a window below the Navigation Map. Altitude is shown
along a vertical scale, with an aircraft icon positioned at the current altitude. Distance is represented horizontally
along the bottom of the Profile View, and increases from left (present position) to right.
When the Navigation Map range is adjusted with the Joystick, the horizontal distance of the Profile View
is adjusted proportionately to be 1/2 of the Navigation Map range distance down to one nm, at which point
Profile View is no longer available ('PROFILE NOT AVAILABLE' is displayed). When Navigation Map range
is adjusted to remove altitude-correlated colored terrain data (as shown in the Terrain Legend) or obstacles
from the Navigation Map, these items are also removed from the Profile View; only an outline of the terrain
will be displayed in black in the Profile View window. Refer to the Terrain Proximity, Terrain-SVS, or TAWS-B
discussions for more information about displaying terrain or obstacles on the Navigation Map Page.
