WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, 
obstacle, and traffic avoidance.  SVS is intended as an aid to situational aware-
ness 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.

WARNING:  Do  not  use  SVS  runway  depiction  as  the  sole  means  for 
determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining 
the proper approach path angle during landing.

Synthetic Vision System (SVS) functionality is offered as an optional enhancement 

to the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck System.

SVS  is  primarily  comprised  of  a  computer-generated  forward-looking,  attitude 

aligned view of the topography immediately in front of the aircraft from the pilot’s 
perspective.  SVS information is shown on the primary flight display (PFD).

SVS  offers  a  three-dimensional  view  of  terrain  and  obstacles.    Terrain  and 

obstacles that pose a threat to the aircraft in flight are shaded yellow or red.

In addition to SVS enhancement to the PFD, the following feature enhancements 

have been added to the PFD:

•  Pathways

•  Flight Path Marker

•  Horizon Heading Marks

•  Terrain and Obstacle Alerting

•  Three-dimensional Traffic
