Pathway
If PATHWAY is enabled on the SVS menu of the PFD and a defined
navigation path has been entered on the G1000, the SVS system will
display a pathway, sometimes called a “highway in the sky” or HITS.
The pathway is a perspective representation of the programmed flight
path. When the aircraft is well off course, the pathway will be displayed
as a number boxes floating in the sky along the programmed lateral and
vertical path. As the aircraft intercepts the programmed flight path, the
number of boxes displayed will be reduced to a maximum of four to avoid
cluttering the PFD display. The pathway is only displayed for navigation
paths that are fully defined by the sensor in use, including GPS and ILS
paths. Because a fully defined lateral and vertical path through space is
not defined by them, a Pathway is not displayed for heading legs, VOR,
LOC, BC or ADF segments. When the Pathway is displayed, the color of
the boxes indicates the sensor generating the path. If the GPS sensor is
in use, the boxes will be magenta colored. If the ILS sensor is defining
the path in use, the boxes will be green.
The Pathway boxes are +- 100 ft in vertical dimension and approximately
+-380 ft horizontally from the center of the box. The Pathway
presentation is intended only to aid the pilot in awareness of the
programmed flight path location relative to the airplane’s current position.
The pathway is not intended for use as a primary reference in tracking
the navigation path.
If a GPS based descent profile has been programmed either on the
G1000 flight plan page or as part of an approach or STAR, the descent
will be displayed by the Pathway. Climb paths are never displayed by
