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.

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.
Runway data provides improved awareness of runway
location with respect to the surrounding terrain. All runway
thresholds are depicted at their respective elevations
as defined in the database. In some situations, where
threshold elevations differ significantly, crossing runways
may appear to be layered. 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. Not all airports have runways with endpoint
data in the database, therefore, these runways are not
displayed.
