warning: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for
terrain and obstacle avoidance. Synthetic Vision is intended as an aid to
situational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or
reliability upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to
avoid terrain or obstacles.
Synthetic Vision is a visual enhancement to the G300. Synthetic Vision depicts
a forward-looking attitude display of the topography immediately in front of
the aircraft. Synthetic Vision information is shown on the Primary Flight Display
(PFD). The depicted imagery is derived from the aircraft attitude, heading,
GPS three-dimensional position, and databases of terrain, obstacles, and other
relevant features. Loss of any of the required data, including temporary loss of
the GPS signal, will cause Synthetic Vision to be disabled until the required data
is restored.
The Synthetic Vision terrain display shows land contours (colors are consistent
with those of the topographical map display), large water features, towers, and
other obstacles over 200' AGL that are included in the obstacle database. Cultural
features on the ground such as roads, highways, railroad tracks, cities, and state
boundaries are not displayed even if those features are found on the Navigation
Map. The terrain display also includes a north-south east-west grid with lines
oriented with true north.
