Highway In The Sky (HITS) on Synthetic Vision
In software version 15.0 or later, when a Flight Plan is engaged, either with, or without
Autopilot, Highway In The Sky (HITS) indicators (rectangles) can optionally be displayed in
Synthetic Vision of the PFD. HITS is most useful for “hand steering” a Flight Plan when Autopilot
is not installed or not engaged. Display of HITS can be toggled on and off: PFD > MODE > HITS.
Repeated presses of the HITS button toggles display of HITS on and off. Note that SYNVIS must
be enabled to display HITS.
HITS will show the (VFR-oriented) Vertical Guidance that SkyView generates. All other altitude
guidance is at the altitude bug, even when an external flight plan is being shown. HITS is
intended to be used for enroute flight and during SkyView-generated Vertical Guidance.

Extreme Pitch Warning Indicators
The SkyView PFD shows large red arrows as pitch warning indicators in extreme attitudes (i.e.,
45 degrees or greater pitch up or down). These indicators point to the horizon and indicate
which way to maneuver to attain a level attitude. Indicators are accompanied with a small sliver
of sky or ground bordered with a white dashed horizon line, depending on the current attitude.
The pitch warning indicators can be enabled or disabled through the setup menus. See the
SkyView System Installation Guide for information about this setting.
Figure 52 illustrates the pitch up warning arrows with the slivers of ground.
