SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS Flight Instruments 2.2 Garmin SVT™ (Synthetic Vision Technology) WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle, and traffic avoidance. SVT 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, obstacles, or traffic. The optional Garmin SVT™ Synthetic Vision Technology is a visual enhancement to the G2000 Integrated Avionics System. SVT depicts a forward-looking attitude display of the topography immediately in front of the aircraft. The field of view is 44 degrees to the left and 44 degrees to the right. SVT information is shown on the Primary Flight Display (PFD), or on the Multifunction Display (MFD) in Reversionary Mode. The depicted imagery is derived from the aircraft attitude, heading, GPS three-dimensional position, and a 4.9 arc-second database of terrain, obstacles, and other relevant features. The terrain data resolution of 4.9 arc-seconds, meaning that the terrain elevation contours are stored in squares measuring 4.9 arc-seconds on each side, is required for the operation of SVT. Loss of any of the required data, including temporary loss of the GPS signal, will cause SVT to be disabled until the required data is restored. The SVT 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 MFD map. The terrain display also includes a north-south east-west grid with lines oriented with true north and spaced at one arc-minute intervals to assist in orientation relative to the terrain. The optional Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) or standard Terrain SVT is integrated within SVT to provide visual and auditory alerts to indicate the presence of terrain and obstacle threats relevant to the projected flight path. Terrain alerts are displayed in red and yellow shading on the PFD. The terrain display is intended for situational awareness only. It may not provide the accuracy or fidelity on which to base decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. Navigation must not be predicated solely upon the use of the Terrain SVT or TAWS terrain or obstacle data displayed by the SVT. The following SVT enhancements appear on the PFD: • Pathways • Airport Signs • Flight Path Marker • Horizon Heading Marks • Runway Display • Terrain Alerting • Traffic Display • Obstacle Alerting FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AVOIDANCE HAZARD AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 190-01263-01 Rev.
