ADDITIONAL FEATURES
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	8-7).
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.

ZERO PITCH LINE
The	 Zero	 Pitch	 Line	is	drawn	 completely	 across	the	display	 and	represents	 the	aircraft	 attitude	 with	respect	
to	the	 horizon.	 	 It	may	 not	align	 with	the	terrain	 horizon,	 particularly	 when	the	terrain	 is	mountainous	 or	
when	the	aircraft	is	flown	at	high	altitudes.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
HORIZON HEADING
The	Horizon	 Heading	 is	synchronized	 with	the	HSI	 and	shows	 approximately	 60	degrees	 of	compass	
heading	 in	30-degree	 increments	 on	the	 Zero	 Pitch	 Line.		 Horizon	 Heading	 tick	marks	 and	digits	 appearing	
on	the	 zero	 pitch	 line	are	not	 visible	 behind	 either	the	airspeed	 or	altitude	 display.		 Horizon	 Heading	 is	used	
for	general	heading	awareness,	and	is	activated	and	deactivated	by	pressing	the	HRZN HDG	Softkey.
TRAFFIC
 WARNING: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the SVS display or may appear as a 
partial symbol.
Traffic	 symbols	 are	displayed	 in	their	 approximate	 locations	as	determined	 by	the	 related	 traffic	systems.		
Traffic	 symbols	 are	displayed	 in	three	 dimensions,	 appearing	larger	as	they	 are	getting	 closer,	and	smaller	
when	 they	are	further	 away.		Traffic	 within	 250	feet	laterally	 of	the	 aircraft	 will	not	be	displayed	 on	the	 SVS	
display.		 Traffic	symbols	 and	coloring	 are	consistent	 with	that	used	 for	traffic	 displayed	 in	the	 Inset	 map	or	
MFD	 traffic	 page.		 If	the	 traffic	 altitude	 is	unknown,	 the	traffic	 will	not	be	displayed	 on	the	 SVS	 display.		 For	
more	details	refer	to	the	traffic	system	discussion	in	the	Hazard	Avoidance	section.
AIRPORT SIGNS
Airport Signs provide a visual representation of airport location and identification on the synthetic ter\
rain 
display.	 	 When	activated,	 the	signs	 appear	 on	the	 display	 when	the	aircraft	 is	approximately	 15	nm	 from	
an	airport	 and	disappear	 at	approximately	 4.5	nm.	 	 Airport	 signs	are	shown	 without	 the	identifier	 until	
the	aircraft	 is	approximately	 eight	nautical	 miles	from	the	airport.	 	 Airport	signs	are	not	 shown	 behind	 the	
airspeed	or	altitude	display.		Airport	signs	are	activated	and	deactivated	by	pressing	the	APTSIGNS	Softkey.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
RUNWAYS
 WARNING: Do not use SVS runway depiction as the sole means for determining the proximity of the airc\
raft 
to the runway or for maintaining the proper approach path angle during landing.
 NOTE:  Not all airports have runways with endpoint data in the database, therefore, these runways are not 
displayed.
Runway	 data	provides	 improved	 awareness	 of	runway	 location	 with	respect	 to	the	 surrounding	 terrain.		All	
runway	thresholds	 are	depicted	 at	their	 respective	 elevations	as	defined	 in	the	 database.		 In	some	 situations,		
where	 threshold	 elevations	 differ	significantly,	 crossing	runways	 may	appear	 to	be	 layered.		 As	runways	 are	
displayed,	 those	within	 45	degrees	 of	the	 aircraft	 heading	 are	displayed	 in	white.		 Other	runways	 will	be	gray	
in	color.		 When	an	approach	 for	a	specific	 runway	 is	active,	 that	runway	 will	appear	 brighter	 and	be	outlined	
with	 a	white	 box,	regardless	 of	the	 runway	 orientation	 as	related	 to	aircraft	 heading.		 As	the	 aircraft	 gets	closer	
to	the	runway,	more	detail	such	as	runway	numbers	and	centerlines	will	be	displayed.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
TERRAIN-SVS AND TAWS ALERTING
Terrain	alerting	 on	the	 synthetic	 terrain	display	 is	triggered	 by	Forward-looking	 Terrain	Avoidance	 (FLTA)	
alerts,	and	corresponds	 to	the	 red	 and	 yellow	 X	symbols	 on	the	 Inset	 Map	and	MFD	 map	displays.		 For	more	
detailed	information	regarding	Terrain-SVS	and	TAWS,	refer	to	the	Hazard	Avoidance	Section.
In	some	 instances,	 a	terrain	 or	obstacle	 alert	may	be	issued	 with	no	conflict	 shading	 displayed	 on	the	
synthetic	 terrain.	 	In	these	 cases,	 the	conflict	 is	outside	 the	SVS	 field	 of	view	 to	the	 left	or	right	 of	the	
aircraft.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Obstacles	are	represented	 on	the	 synthetic	 terrain	display	 by	standard	 two-dimensional	 tower	symbols	 found	
on	the	 Inset	 map	and	MFD	 maps	 and	charts.	 	 Obstacle	 symbols	appear	in	the	 perspective	 view	with	relative	
height	 above	terrain	 and	distance	 from	the	aircraft.	 	 Unlike	the	Inset	 map	and	MFD	 moving	 map	display,	
obstacles	 on	the	 synthetic	 terrain	display	 do	not	 change	 colors	to	warn	 of	potential	 conflict	with	the	aircraft’s	
flight	 path	until	 the	obstacle	 is	associated	 with	an	actual	 FLTA	alert.		 Obstacles	 greater	than	1000	 feet	below	 the	
aircraft	altitude	are	not	shown.		Obstacles	are	shown	behind	the	airspeed	and	altitude	displays.

8.2 SAFETAXI
SafeTaxi	is	an	 enhanced	 feature	that	gives	 greater	 map	detail	 when	 viewing	 airports	at	close	 range.	 	 The	
maximum	 map	ranges	 for	enhanced	 detail	are	pilot	 configurable.	 	 When	viewing	 at	ranges	 close	enough	 to	
show	the	airport	 detail,	the	map	 reveals	 taxiways	 with	identifying	 letters/numbers,	 airport	Hot	Spots,	 and	airport	
landmarks	 including	ramps,	buildings,	 control	towers,	 and	other	 prominent	 features.	 	Resolution	 is	greater	 at	
lower	map	ranges.	 	 When	the	MFD	 display	 is	within	 the	SafeTaxi	 ranges,	the	airplane	 symbol	on	the	 airport	
provides	enhanced	position	awareness.
Designated	 Hot	Spots	 are	recognized	 at	airports	 with	many	 intersecting	 taxiways	and	runways,	 and/or	complex	
ramp	areas.	 	 Airport	 Hot	Spots	 are	outlined	 to	caution	 pilots	of	areas	 on	an	airport	 surface	 where	positional	
awareness	 confusion	or	runway	 incursions	 happen	most	often.	 	 Hot	Spots	 are	defined	 with	a	magenta	 circle	or	
outline	around	the	region	of	possible	confusion.
Any map page that displays the navigation view can also show the SafeTaxi airport layout within the maximum 
configured	range.		The	following	is	a	list	of	pages	where	the	SafeTaxi	feature	can	be	seen:
•	 Navigation
During	 ground	 operations	 the	aircraft’s	 position	 is	displayed	 in	reference	 to	taxiways,	 runways,	and	airport	
features.	 	 In	the	 example	 shown,	the	aircraft	 is	on	 taxiway	 Bravo	inside	 the	High	 Alert	Intersection	 boundary	
on	KSFO	 airport.		 Airport	Hot	Spots	 are	outlined	 in	magenta.		 When	panning	 over	the	airport,	 features	 such	as	
runway	holding	lines	and	taxiways	are	shown	at	the	cursor.
