SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Flight Instruments FAF Descent displayed by pathway Selected Altitude or Programmed Altitude (whichever is higher) MAP Climbs NOT displayed by pathway MAHP Turn Segment NOT displayed by pathway EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AVOIDANCE HAZARD AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES Figure 2-35 SVT Pathways, Approach, Missed Approach, and Holding Flight Path Marker The Flight Path Marker (FPM), also known as a Velocity Vector, is displayed on the PFD at groundspeeds above 30 knots. The FPM depicts the approximate projected path of the aircraft accounting for wind speed and direction relative to the three-dimensional terrain display. The FPM is always available when the Synthetic Terrain feature is in operation. The FPM represents the direction of the flight path as it relates to the terrain and obstacles on the display, while the airplane symbol represents the aircraft heading. The FPM works in conjunction with the Pathways feature to assist the pilot in maintaining desired altitudes and direction when navigating a flight plan. When on course and altitude the FPM is aligned inside the pathway boxes as shown (Figure 2-38). The FPM may also be used to identify a possible conflict with the aircraft flight path and distant terrain or obstacles. Displayed terrain or obstacles in the aircraft's flight path extending above the FPM could indicate a potential conflict, even before an alert is issued by TAWS. However, decisions regarding terrain and/or obstacle avoidance should not be made using only the FPM. 190-01263-01 Rev. A Garmin G2000 Pilot's Guide for the Cessna T240 91 INDEX
