Entegra Release 9
Synthetic Vision
Synthetic Vision (SVS) provides significant
improvements in situational awareness.
Entegra Release 9’s Synthetic Vision uses 9 arc-sec terrain data to display a three-dimensional scene representing an “egocentric” out-the-window view.
SVS on Entegra Release 9 displays:
- Total Velocity Vector (TVV)
- 3D traffic
- Airport flags
- Runway depictions
- 3D obstacles
- 3D terrain
- Large bodies of water
(Oceans, lakes, major rivers)
- Pilot-Selectable Horizontal Field of View
(Zoom on PFD)
- Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (FLTA)
Total Velocity Vector (TVV)
Total Velocity Vector (TVV) is a visual representation of the aircraft flight path,
indicating where the airplane is going and not necessarily where the aircraft is pointing.
Airport Flags
Airport Flags - Airfields are depicted with a METAR-style flag when in field of view. With valid METAR data from your datalink, airfield flags will be color-coded to represent the ceiling and visibility, consistent with the moving map presentation.
3D traffic
3D traffic uses standard traffic symbology with traffic depictions indicating relative threat level by their size and relative altitude and bearing. As traffic draws nearer to you, the traffic symbols grow in size on the IFD.
Runway Depictions
Runway Depictions - Any runway that is part of the active flight plan will be outlined in magenta.
Runway Heading
Runway Heading - When your aircraft position is close enough to the runway, runway numerical identification (e.g. “34”) will be visible as will centerline markings.
3D Terrain
3D Terrain - Terrain Awareness (SVS-TA) is provided via terrain coloration on the SVS horizontal view and also in the plan view displays. R9 SVS provides visual Caution-Warning Alerting System (CAS) alerts and aural alerts terrain hazard awareness and alerting.
FLTA- Forward Looking Terrain Alerting
FLTA- Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (FLTA) FLTA alerting provides an extra measure of safety by displaying a solid yellow or red impact point based on projected flight path in the event that a collision with terrain is projected with 45 seconds. FLTA also provides visual CAS messaging & aural alerting.
Pilot Selectable Horizontal Field of View
Pilot Selectable Horizontal Field of View - SVS field of view (FOV) can be adjusted at any time by the pilot. SVS defaults to 45 degrees as the standard setting, but can be adjusted from 20° to 120° of zoom.
A narrow FOV allows you to zoom in to verify a runway heading on the SVS. Zooming out allows you to see more terrain, especially helpful during turns. A simple push of the range knob resets the FOV back to 45°.
3D Obstacles
3D Obstacles - Standard high, low and grouping symbology is used to clearly depict obstacles on the SVS display.
Obstacles inside 3nm radius and -100’ to -1000’ will generate yellow threat bubble.
Obstacles inside 1.5nm radius between -100’ below aircraft to anything above aircraft altitude will generate a red threat bubble. Yellow or red highlighted obstacles also display MSL altitude of the obstacle top.
