2.7 Evolution Synthetic Vision
The Evolution Synthetic Vision (ESV) option (
Figure 2-7
), provides a real-time,
computer-generated 3D view of terrain, obstacles, and traffic for the utmost in pilot
situational awareness. ESV uses 9 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolution terrain data
to render the Synthetic Vision VIEW. ESV may be presented on any of the window
configurations – Full Screen, Split Screen, or Thumbnail LAYOUT.
ESV also has a field of view option, narrow or wide, which allows you to toggle to the
view that best suits the phase of flight. The wide field of view is suited for enroute, while
the narrow field of view is best for zooming in on the approach environment.
ESV’s features include: Flight Path Marker symbology that graphically depicts the lateral
GPS track and vertical speed of the aircraft, a Distance Marker to assist in estimating
the distance to a point ahead of the aircraft, and a Terrain Warning System (TWS) that
provides visual, audio, and text warning annunciations when the system predicts a
collision with terrain or an obstacle.
