4.10 Evolution Synthetic Vision
The Evolution Synthetic Vision option, when selected on your flight display, replaces
the traditional blue-over-brown background of the legacy attitude indicator with 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.
You will find that Aspen’s ESV is intuitive and easy to use. Aspen’s exclusive display
layouts permit you to personalize a configuration that works best for you – on the
Primary Flight Display, the Multi-Function Flight Display, or both. 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 fight. 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 easy-to-read display 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.
WARNING
The Terrain and Obstruction information is based on
terrain and obstacle elevation information contained
in a third party database. This data may contain
inaccuracies and/or omissions and must only be used
as an aid to situational awareness. The information
provided should never be used for primary terrain
avoidance or navigation.
