SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision M
Figure 38 - Traffic Display on Synthetic Vision
Traffic information is informational only, and does not relieve the pilot-in-command
of his or her responsibility to see and avoid traffic.
The graphical depiction of traffic is only displayed when Synthetic Vision is turned
on via the PFD>SYNVIS menu option. However, the yellow textual “TRAFFIC” alert
message on the PFD page is always shown when Traffic Advisories are known and
traffic is enabled.
Traffic is displayed as reported by the device sending it to SkyView. The precision
and accuracy of the location of traffic targets may vary from device to device, and
this may impact how accurately the position is represented on the SkyView display.
For example: TIS traffic updates, such as those received by the SV-XPNDR-26X, may
be anywhere from 2-12 seconds old due to radar latency and other technical
factors. Be sure to understand the traffic-detection capabilities of your traffic
device thoroughly so you understand how to best interpret the position of the
traffic displayed on SkyView.
Traffic targets are displayed using the same symbols that are used on the Map Page display of
traffic. See the traffic section in the SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software section for
complete descriptions of the types of targets that may be shown. Unlike the Map Page display,
however, relative altitude is not provided numerically on Synthetic Vision. Instead, relative
altitude is depicted by having the traffic symbols appear either above or below the zero pitch
line, just like they would be if you were looking at traffic out the window. For example, in Figure
38 above, all of the traffic targets being displayed are above our current altitude. Similarly,
