USE OF PATHWAY
If Synthetic Terrain is displayed on the PFD, the Pathway may be used to
assist the pilot’s awareness of the programmed lateral and vertical navigation
path. The following sections describe the basic use of the Pathway in various
flight segments. For more detailed information, consult the G1000 Pilot’s
Guide.
--
Departure
Prior to departure, load and activate the desired flight plan into the G1000
FMS, set the initial altitude on the G1000 altitude selector and select GPS
on the HSI display just as you would without the SVS system.
The programmed flight path will be displayed as a series of magenta boxes
along the path at the flight plan altitude subject to the following conditions :
:
If the first segment of the flight plan is a heading to altitude leg, the
Pathway will not be displayed for that segment. The first Pathway
segment displayed will be the first GPS course leg.
:
The Pathway must be within the SVS field of view of 30 degrees left and
35 degrees right. If the programmed path is outside that field of view, the
Pathway will not be visible on the display until the aircraft has turned
toward the course.
:
The Pathway will be displayed at either the altitude selected on the
G1000 selector OR the altitude published for the procedure (e.g. SID)
WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.
After departure, the primary aircraft control must be by reference to the
primary aircraft instruments. The SVS and Pathway displays should be
used to aid in awareness of the terrain and programmed flight path.
Prior to intercepting the programmed course, the Pathway will be
displayed as a series of magenta “boxes” with pointers at each corner that
point in the direction of the programmed course. The Pathway boxes will
not be displayed on portions of the course line that would lead the pilot to
intercept the course in the wrong direction.
As the aircraft approaches the center of the programmed course and
altitude, the number of Pathway boxes will decrease to a minimum of four.
