The Flight Data Logging feature automatically stores critical flight and engine data
on an SD data card. A 2 GB SD card can store over 1,000 hours of flight data or up to
1,000 files (whichever comes first).
8.1 SYNTHETIC VISION (SVX)
WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Synthetic Vision is intended as an aid to situ-
ational 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.
Synthetic Vision is a visual enhancement to the G3X Touch
™
. Synthetic Vision
depicts a forward-looking attitude display of the topography immediately in front
of the aircraft. Synthetic Vision information is shown on the Primary Flight Display
(PFD). The depicted imagery is derived from the aircraft attitude, heading, GPS three-
dimensional position, and databases of terrain, obstacles, and other relevant features.
Loss of any of the required data, including temporary loss of the GPS signal, will cause
Synthetic Vision to be disabled until the required data is restored.
The Synthetic Vision 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 Navigation Map. The terrain
display also includes a north-south east-west grid with lines oriented with true north.
Terrain is integrated within Synthetic Vision 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 or
obstacle data displayed by Synthetic Vision.
