Attitude
The attitude display is a blue over brown presentation and optionally can display
synthetic vision data (SVT).
Standard rate turn marks are provided on the roll scale for bank angles less than
30 degrees. A turn rate indicator is displayed across the top of the HIS compass
dial. Tick marks are shown for half-standard and standard rate turns.
If pitch exceeds 20° nose down or 30° nose up, or bank angle exceeds ±65°, the
attitude display will automatically declutter removing non-essential data to
facilitate recognition and recovery from extreme attitudes.
Red chevrons which indicate the direction to level pitch are displayed when pitch
attitudes exceed 30° nose down or 50° nose up.
Slip/skid information is shown using a white trapezoid below the sky pointer
.

Synthetic Vision Technology (Optional)
SVT may optionally be provided to assist the pilot in maintaining situational
awareness with regard to the terrain, obstacles, and traffic surrounding the
aircraft. Enabling this option is done by purchasing the software and installing it
by the mean of a SD-Card.
SVT controls are provided via Menu -> Terrain/SVT.
Synthetic terrain, horizon headings, and airport signs can be toggled on and off
from this menu. SVT provides additional information on the PFD:
-
Synthetic Terrain
: an artificial, database derived, three-dimensional view
of the terrain ahead of the aircraft within a field of view of approximately
25 degrees left and 25 degrees right of the aircraft heading.
-
Obstacles
: obstacles such as towers, including buildings over 200 AGL that
are within the depicted synthetic terrain field of view. Powerlines are not
depicted in synthetic vision.
