2.11 Terrain and Obstacle Display
Terrain elevation information can be selected for display on the MFD as red,
orange, yellow, green, and black tiles. Obstacles are displayed in red, yellow,
and gray towers. The information is depicted for advisory purposes only and is
not to be used for aircraft maneuvers or navigation. Terrain HSVT alerts are not
equivalent to warnings provided by HTAWS.
2.12 Datalinked Weather Display
XM weather data is provided by an optional GDL 69 or GSR 56 interface. The
weather information display on the MFD of the G500 is limited to supplemental
use only and may not be used in lieu of an official weather data source.
2.13 Traffic Display
Traffic may be displayed on the G500H System from TIS or TAS systems.
These systems are capable of providing traffic monitoring and alerting to the
pilot. Traffic shown on the display may or may not have traffic alerting
available. The display of traffic is an aid to visual acquisition and is not to be
utilized for aircraft maneuvering.
CAUTION
Some TAS traffic systems may not automatically transition to
OPERATE mode upon becoming airborne or in the event of a
power interruption while in the air may power on in
STANDBY mode. The pilot must be aware of the operating
status of the TAS traffic system by referring to the traffic icon
on the map pages or the status annunciator on the traffic page.
If the traffic system is in STANDBY mode use the traffic page
softkeys to change to the OPERATE mode.
