TOPOGRAPHY
All navigation maps can display various shades of topography colors representing land elevation, similar 
to aviation sectional charts.  Topographic data can be displayed or removed as described in the following 
procedures.

Range
 The topographic data range is the maximum map range on which topographi\
c data is displayed.
 NOTE:  Since the PFD Inset Map is much smaller than the MFD navigation maps, items are removed on the 
PFD Inset Map two range levels smaller than the range selected in the Ma\
p Setup pages (e.g., a setting 
of 100 nm removes the item at ranges above 100 nm on MFD navigation maps\
, while the PFD Inset Map 
removes the same item at 50 nm).
Selecting a topographical data range (TOPO DATA):
1) Press the MENU Key with the Navigation Map Page displayed.  The cursor flashes on the ‘Map Setup’ option.
2) Press the ENT Key.  The Map Setup Menu is displayed.  
3) Select the ‘Map’ group.
4) Press the ENT Key. 
5) Highlight the ‘TOPO DATA’ range field.  TOPO ranges are from 500 ft to 2000 nm.
6) To change the TOPO range setting, turn the small FMS Knob to display the range list.
7) Select the desired range using the small FMS Knob.  
8) Press the ENT Key.
9) Press the FMS Knob to return to the Navigation Map Page.
 In addition, the Navigation Map can display a topographic scale (located in the lower right hand side of the 
map) showing a scale of the terrain elevation and current elevation values.

AIRWAYS
This airways discussion is based upon the North American airway structure.  The airway structure in places 
other than North America vary by location, etc. and are not discussed in this book.  Low Altitude Airways (or 
Victor Airways) primarily serve smaller piston-engine, propeller-driven airplanes on shorter routes and at lower 
altitudes.  Airways are eight nautical miles wide and start 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) and extend up 
to 18,000 feet mean sea level (MSL). Low Altitude Airways are designated with a “V” before the airway number 
(hence the name “Victor Airways”) since they run primarily between VORs.
High Altitude Airways (or Jet Routes) primarily serve airliners, jets, turboprops, and turbocharged piston 
aircraft operating above 18,000 feet MSL.  Jet Routes start at 18,000 feet \
MSL and extend upward to 45,000 feet 
MSL (altitudes above 18,000 feet are called “flight levels” and are described as FL450 for 45,000 feet MSL).  Jet 
Routes are designated with a “J” before the route number.
Low Altitude Airways are drawn in gray (the same shade used for roads).  High Altitude Airways are drawn 
in green.  When both types of airways are displayed, High Altitude Airways are drawn on top of Low Altitude 
Airways.
When airways are selected for display on the map, the airway waypoints (VORs, NDBs and Intersections) are 
also displayed.
