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.
NOTE: Not all airports have runways with
endpoint data in the database, therefore, these
runways are not displayed.
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.
