  1. Synthetic Vision – Real Safety Introducing Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology on Diamond Aircraft Pilot Briefing

  2. Synthetic Vision - available now on DA40 XLS Diamond Stars

  3. SVT Overview • Garmin SVT displays terrain as though looking out of the window, which is a major improvement by itself, but SVT does much more, too: • The Flight Path Marker shows the projected position of the aircraft based on the GPS position and velocity vector. • TAWS alert coloring highlights potential terrain hazards in yellow or red • Obstacles contained in TAWS database intuitively enlarge as aircraft approaches • A ‘zero pitch’ line helps pilots determine their altitude relative to terrain. All SVT terrain above the zero pitch line is above the current aircraft altitude and could pose a threat to the flight path. • Traffic is represented in 3D, with symbols that change size relative to range to better assist pilots in ‘see-and-avoid’ efforts • Airport signs, runway designations and bodies of water from the TAWS database are clearly displayed with enhanced SVT graphics Result: another great safety-enhancing technology

  4. SVT interface – page 1 • Flight Path Marker (FPM) • Position is projected from GPS-derived position • Altitude is projected forward along GPS-derived velocity vector • FPM is invalidated when Ground Speed < 30kts or SVS invalid • Zero Pitch Line • The line not always aligned with the terrain horizon • Terrain above the aircraft altitude will appear above the zero-pitch line and terrain below the aircraft altitude will appear below the zero-pitch line • Terrain Coloration • Same as plan-view moving map • Conflict symbology is indicated by changing the color of the ground to correspond to the color of the terrain alert for an area around the alert

  5. SVT interface – page 2 • Runways • Runway data superimposed on terrain data • Includes runways designations and thresholds • Surfaces and labels visible if either runway end within 2nm of airplane • Runway borders have white outline for improved visibility • If runway is in flight plan, it has additional highlight • Traffic • 3-D representations of corresponding symbols on plan-view map page • Traffic not depicted if within 1000-ft laterally of plane’s current location • Coloring: same as symbol shown on plan-view moving map • Water • Large bodies of water (oceans, major rivers/lakes) • Terrain conflict symbology indicated by changing color of water to correspond to the color of the terrain alert

  6. SVT Interface – page 3 • Obstacles • Consists of 3-D representations of corresponding symbol used on plan-view moving map • Depicted if highest point is within 1000ft vertically of aircraft • Color: • Grey, if not alerted by FLTA • Yellow (Caution) or Red (Warning), if alerted by FLTA

  7. SVT Interface – page 4 • Airport Signs • Depicted as translucent rectangular box and sign post • Depicts identifier if airport is within 8.5nm range of airplane • Not shown if behind primary flight instrument tapes or HSI • Horizon Heading Marks • Depicted immediately above zero-pitch line • 30-degrees increments

  8. SVT – Pathways – page 1 • Overview • Intended to provide greater awareness of the aircraft’s position relative to the desired path • Three dimensional depiction in primary field of view • Secondary source of navigation information: • Pathways will be removed when primary navigation information (CDI, VDI) is not available

  9. Pathways - details • Pathway displays – en route, VNAV legs, WAAS approach, ILS approach, arrival & departure procedures • Pathway elements: • Rectangles are spaced no more than 1000m apart; scale in height and width with approach deflection, • Aligned with vertical axis and horizon • Number of elements: • On course  no more than five • Off course  number proportional to the course error • Color: consistent with the currently active navigation aid as indicated on the HSI GPS approach ILS approach

  10. SVT available immediately on new DA40 XLS & CS • New DA40 XLS & CS delivered from the factory after April 11 are eligible to receive SVT as an option • Option price: $9,995 • Retrofit – compatibility, availability and pricing – will be announced over the next several months. • SVT will be available as an option on the D-JET (different pricing), and on other Diamond aircraft down the road.
