is
displayed
on the PFD
as
a forward-looking depiction
of
the
topography immediately
in front
of
the
aircraft. The depicted
imagery
is
derived
from the aircraft attitude, heading, GPS
three-dimensional
position,
and
a
database
of
terrain,
obstacles,
and other relevant features. The

Class
B
(TAWS-B)
or
standard
Terrain-SVS information
is
integrated
within
SVS to
provide
visual and
audible alerts
of
terrain
threats
relative to the projected
flight
path.
In
addition
to
the
standard
TAWS or
Terrain-SVS alerts, Terrain-SVS
offers
a
three-
dimensional
view of
terrain
and obstacles.
Terrain
and/or
obstacles
that
pose
a
threat to the aircraft
in
flight
are shaded
yellow
or red. SVS is activated
from
the
PFD using the softkey located along the
bottom
edge
of
the display.
Pressing
the
softkeys turn the related
function
on
or
off.
SVS functions
are
displayed on
three
levels
of
softkeys. The PFD softkey
leads
into
the
PFD function
softkeys,
including synthetic vision. Pressing the
SYN VIS soft key
enables synthetic
vision
and
displays the
PATHWAY,
SYN TERR,
HRZN
HDG,
and
APTSIGNS
softkeys. The
BACK
softkey returns
to
the
previous level of
softkeys. The
SYN
TERR softkey
must
be
active (grey with
black
characters)
before any other SVS
feature
may
