System Overview Flight Instruments EIS CNS Interface GPS Navigation Flight Planning Additional Features SECTION 8 ADDITIONAL FEATURES NOTE: With the availability of SafeTaxi, FliteCharts, and ChartView in electronic form, it is still advisable to carry another source of charts on board the aircraft. Additional features of the system include the following: • Synthetic Vision (SVX) • SafeTaxi® • ChartView and FliteCharts® electronic charts • Airport Directory Data (AOPA , AC-U-KWIK, etc.) • XM Radio entertainment (Optional) • Electronic Checklists (Optional) • Flight Data Logging Synthetic Vision provides a three-dimensional forward view of terrain features on the PFD. Synthetic Vision imagery shows the pilot's view of relevant features in relation to the aircraft attitude, as well as the flight path pertaining to the active flight plan. SafeTaxi diagrams provide detailed taxiway, runway, and ramp information at more than 1000 airports in the United States. ChartView and FlightCharts provide on-board electronic terminal procedure charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be used at one time, but not both. For example, if ChartView is on the SD Card and FliteCharts is on the system's internal memory, ChartView will always take precedence (FliteCharts may be used once the SD Card containing ChartView is ejected). The Airport Directory contains airport statistics such as pattern altitudes, noise abatement information, FBO phone numbers, hours of operation, local attractions, ground transportation, lodging, and services. The optional XM Radio entertainment audio feature offers more than 170 channels of music, news, and sports.
