AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide 2 SVS Subsystem The Synthetic Vision System (SVS or SynVis) subsystem consists of a single page to aid in the pilot’s awareness of their spatial position relative to the terrain. SVS uses a GPS-based MSL altitude and a 9 arc-sec terrain database to display a 3D scene representing an “egocentric”...
Page 70: Synthetic Vision Page
AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide SYNTHETIC VISION PAGE If the AeroNav is receiving valid heading data, the circular green Total Velocity Vector (TVV)/Flight Path Marker (FPM) will be present in the display. The TVV/FPM indicates where the aircraft is actually going as compared to the yellow triangular Aircraft Reference Symbol (ARS) which indicates where the aircraft is pointing.
Page 71 AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide appear above that line, and conversely, terrain below the aircraft’s altitude will appear below that line. Placing the TVV/FPM above the terrain means that the airplane will clear the terrain and vice versa. The terrain data and 9 arc- second resolution used in creating the synthetic terrain depiction is the same data and resolution used in the FLTA and TAWS calculations for consistency.
Page 72 AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide The 3D traffic uses the same symbology as that in the traffic thumbnails and map overlays but the traffic depictions in the SynVis scene attempt to indicate relative threat level by size and symbol and are depicted at the relative altitude and bearing as received from the traffic sensor, consistent with the SynVis field of view.
Page 73 AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide Any airfield that is in the FMS database and in the SynVis field of view will be depicted in the SynVis scene with a METAR looking gray flag until the airfield is within 1.5nm at which time, the flag is removed and the runway outlines should be clearly visible.
Page 74 AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide SynVis Runway Depiction The User Options page provides a means to turn on/off cardinal heading tick marks and labels (e.g. N, NE, E, SE, etc) along the horizon line in the SynVis scene. Heading Horizon Tick Marks and Labels The User Options page also provides a means to turn on/off the Horizontal Deviation Indicator (HDI) in the SynVis scene and traditional blue/brown attitude indication view.

Page 81: Svs Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (Flta)
AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide SVS FORWARD LOOKING TERRAIN ALERTING (FLTA) FLTA alerting is triggered by either a projected imminent impact with terrain or obstacle or reduced terrain and obstacle clearance. Projected imminent impact with terrain occurs when the TVV/FPM is projected to intersect with terrain up to 3.0nm (yellow caution) or up to 1.5nm (red warning) in front of the aircraft flight path.
Page 82 AeroNav 900/880 Series Pilot’s Guide Either terrain or obstacles can trigger FLTA alerts and they are distinguished via the CAS messaging and aural alerting. The difference between FLTA warnings and cautions is exclusively based on distance-to-go to projected impact points or reduced clearance areas.
