SECTION I
GENERAL

This document describes the Synthetic Vision sub system (SVS) that is
an optional part of the Garmin G1000 Integrated Avionics System. This
information supplements the information presented in the Aircraft Flight
Manual and the aircraft specific Garmin G1000 Aircraft Flight Manual
Supplement.

The purpose of the SVS system is to assist the pilot in maintaining
situational awareness with regard to the terrain and traffic surrounding
the aircraft and the navigational situation relative to the programmed
flight plan. A typical SVS display is shown below.

SVS provides additional features on the G1000 primary flight display
(PFD) which display the following information:

• Synthetic Terrain; an artificial, database derived, three
dimensional view of the terrain ahead of the aircraft within a field
of view of approximately 30 degrees left and 35 degrees right of
the aircraft heading.

• Obstacles; obstacles such as towers, including buildings over
200 AGL that are within the depicted synthetic terrain field of
view.

• Flight Path Marker (FPM); an indication of the current lateral
and vertical path of the aircraft. The FPM is always displayed
when synthetic terrain is selected for display.

• Pathway; a pilot selectable three dimensional representation of
the programmed flight plan path that can be selected for display
alone or with the flight director anytime synthetic terrain is
selected for display.

• Traffic; a display on the PFD indicating the position of other
aircraft detected by the Traffic Information System (TIS)
component of the G1000 system.

• Horizon Line; a white line indicating the true horizon is always
displayed on the SVS display.

• Horizon Heading; a pilot selectable display of heading marks
displayed just above the horizon line on the PFD.

• Airport Signs; pilot selectable “signposts” displayed on the
synthetic terrain display indicating the position of nearby airports
that are in the G1000 database.

• Runway Highlight; a highlighted presentation of the location
and orientation of the runway(s) at the destination airport.

The synthetic terrain depiction displays an area approximating the view
from the pilot’s eye position when looking directly ahead out the
windshield in front of the pilot. Terrain features outside this field of view
are not shown on the display.

The synthetic terrain display is intended to aid the pilot awareness of the
terrain and obstacles in front of the airplane. It may not provide either the
accuracy or fidelity, or both, on which to solely base decisions and plan
maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. The synthetic vision elements
are not intended to be used for primary aircraft control in place of the
primary flight instruments.

The Pathway presentation is intended only to aid the pilot’s awareness of
the programmed flight path location relative to the airplane’s current
position. No vertical Pathway information is presented for climbs.

SECTION II

LIMITATIONS

1. Use of the Synthetic Vision system display elements alone

for aircraft control without reference to the G1000 primary
flight instruments or the aircraft standby instruments is
prohibited.

2. Use of the Synthetic Vision system alone for navigation, or

obstacle or terrain avoidance is prohibited.

3. Use of the SVS traffic display alone to avoid other aircraft is

prohibited.
