Airport Signs
Airport Signs provide a visual representation of
airport location and identification on the synthetic
terrain display. When activated, the signs appear on the
display when the aircraft is approximately 15 nm from an
airport and disappear at approximately 4.5 nm. Airport
signs are shown without the identifier until the aircraft
is approximately eight nautical miles from the airport.
Airport signs are not shown behind the airspeed or altitude
display. Airport signs are activated and deactivated by
pressing the APTSIGNS Softkey.

Traffic
Runways
WARNING: Do not use SVS runway depiction
as the sole means for determining the proximity
of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining
the proper approach path angle during landing.
Runways are depicted at the published field
elevation for the selected airport. In some
rare cases, actual runway elevation differs
significantly from the airport field elevation
causing SVS runways to appear higher or lower
than the actual runway.
Runway data provides improved awareness of runway
location with respect to the surrounding terrain. As
runways are displayed, those within 45 degrees of the
aircraft heading are displayed in white. Other runways
will be gray in color. When an approach for a specific
runway is active, that runway will appear brighter and
be outlined with a white box, regardless of the runway
orientation as related to aircraft heading. As the aircraft
gets closer to the runway, more detail such as runway
numbers and centerlines will be displayed.
