SAFETAXI

SafeTaxi is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail when viewing airports at

close range. The maximum map ranges for enhanced detail are pilot configurable. When

viewing at ranges close enough to show the airport detail, the map reveals 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 MFD display is within the SafeTaxi ranges, the airplane symbol on

the airport provides 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.

The Detail Softkey (declutter) label advances to Detail All, Detail 3, Detail 2 and Detail

1 each time the softkey is selected for easy recognition of decluttering level. Pressing the

Detail All Softkey removes the taxiway markings and airport feature labels. Pressing the

Detail 3 Softkey removes VOR station ID, the VOR symbol, and intersection names if

within the airport plan view. Pressing the Detail 2 Softkey removes the airport runway

layout, unless the airport in view is part of an active route structure. Pressing the Detail 1

Softkey cycles back to the original map detail. Refer to Map Declutter Levels in the Flight

Management Section.
