MAP and VFR GPS Navigator Operation
5-68 SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B
o SHOW VOR AS – Use this setting to choose whether VOR directions are shown as
“bearings” (the direction the VOR is relative to the aircraft position) or “radials”
(what radial the aircraft is on relative to the VOR, with the published deviation of
the VOR station correctly taken into account, like would be seen on a sectional)
when listed on the NRST page.
o INC MAP RANGE – Use this setting to select between clockwise or
counterclockwise to Increasing / decreasing range on the map.
o FULL SCREEN MAP – Use this setting to assign either the left or right knob to the
(MAP) when the Map Page is full screen.
• NEAREST LIST OPTIONS: Use these settings to choose whether or not the NRST list
shows full airport names or not, and to adjust what airports the nearest list FILTER
button affects.
• FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS: Use these settings to allow incoming flight plans from Wi-Fi-
connected devices and to set other flight plan-related settings like the ground speed
used for ETA calculations while the aircraft is not flying.
o ALLOW INCOMING FLIGHT PLANS
▪ Set to Yes to allow incoming flight plans from Wi-Fi connected devices,
such as ForeFlight Mobile.
▪ This setting does not affect the ability to show flight plans from other
ARINC-429-connected GPS navigators like the GTN and GNS series
navigators.
• TRACK LINE OPTIONS: Use these settings to set up the distance and time markings
shown on the ground track line.
• VS REQ’D OPTIONS: Use these settings to configure the Vertical Speed Required to
Destination Info block on the map. Select the distance from and the distance above the
last waypoint in the SkyView flight plan and SkyView will continuously compute what
vertical speed you would need to maintain from your present position to converge on
the point above and before the point specified. This information is reflected in the VS
REQ'D DESTINATION Info Item and on the vertical speed tape on the PFD.
• TERRAIN WARNING COLORS: Selecting this item ON will enable the display of terrain
proximity alerting on the map, subject to the following proximity parameters
o RED START: defines the proximity – in hundreds of feet below, and above or
below the aircraft – which trigger red terrain color coding.
o YELLOW START: defines the proximity – in hundreds of feet below, and above or
below the aircraft – which trigger yellow terrain color coding. The feet proximity
value for YELLOW START should fall below that designate for RED START.

screen in addition to any of the primary content (PFD, Engine, Map). This column is selected On
