SYNTHETIC VISION
Use of Pathways
If Synthetic Terrain is displayed on the PFD, the Pathways 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
Pathways 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 Pathways will not be visible on the display until
the airplane 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 airplane control must be by reference to the primary airplane 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 airplane approaches the center of the programmed course and altitude, the number of Pathway
boxes will decrease to a minimum of four.
Enroute
When enroute, the Pathway will be displayed along the lateral path defined by the flight plan, at the altitude
selected on the G1000 altitude selector.
Flight plan changes in altitude that require a climb will be indicated by the Pathway being displayed as a
level path at the altitude entered for the current flight plan leg. Because the G1000 system does not have
information available to it about airplane performance, climb profiles are not displayed by the Pathway.
If the programmed flight plan includes one or more defined VNAV descent segments, the descent path(s)
will be displayed by the Pathway as prompted by the G1000 FMS.
If the flight plan includes a significant change in course at a waypoint, the Pathway boxes toward the
currently active waypoint will be magenta in color. The boxes defining the next flight plan segment may
be visible, but will be displayed in a white color.
