5.1 Navigation Map

The Navigation Map VIEW is a pilot configurable, moving map. The Navigation Map 
VIEW’s default map style is a VFR map, oriented North-Up with the Ownship symbol 
located at the center of rotation of the map displaying a 360° range ring. The pilot 
can select either an IFR (

Figure 5-1

) or VFR (

Figure 5-2

) style map via a Hot Key. The 

remaining Hot Keys provide the pilot options to select the range ring type, change the 
map declutter settings, and will display airways, terrain, traffic, and weather overlays.

When climbing or descending toward the Altitude selected on the PFD, the Nav 
Map will display an altitude intercept arc that show the location the aircraft will reach 
the selected altitude at the current instantaneous vertical speed. This feature can be 
disabled in the main menu.

 The current height above ground (AGL), as computed from ownship altitude and  
terrain height directly below the aircraft, is shown in the AGL box in the lower right   
of the display. The AGL values are rounded down to the next hundreds of feet (i.e., 899’ 
is rounded to 800’).

The Navigation Map VIEW has either eight or twelve Hot Keys, organized into two or 
three menus depending upon what optional equipment is configured. The first Hot 
Key is labeled 1/X , 2/X, or 3/3 (depending on the menu you are viewing) as outlined in 

Table 5-1

. If the feature controlled by the Hot Key is not configured, the associated Hot 

key Legend is blank. .
