3.43 Optional SVS/Pathways Enable
Follow this procedure to enable the Synthetic Vision option. An SVS/Pathways Enable Card, as
specified on General Arrangement Drawing 005-00421-03, will be required for this procedure.
NOTE
The Garmin Synthetic Vision and Pathways feature requires 9 arc-second high resolution
terrain databases to function. Each G1000 display must be equipped with the
Terrain/Obstacle/SafeTaxi database card installed in the lower slot.
NOTE
When the SVS/Pathways option is enabled for the first time the G1000 writes its unique
system ID to the physical card and locks the files to this unique ID. This prevents the
SVS/Pathways unlock card from ever being used to activate the SVS/Pathway feature in
other G1000 systems.
The unlock card is tied to the specific aircraft in which it was used for the first time. This
card MUST be kept with the aircraft for situations where SVS/Pathways must be
re-activated.
1. With the SVS Enable card in the top slot of PFD1 and PFD1 in configuration mode, select the
“SYSTEM UPLOAD” page using the small FMS knob on PFD1.
2. Activate cursor and rotate the small FMS knob to display the drop down menu. Rotate the small
FMS knob to highlight “Configuration Files” and press ENT key on PFD1.
3. Rotate the small FMS knob to highlight “Enable SVS Dual PFD”. Press ENT key on PFD1.
