Additionally, yellow Traffic Advisory targets contain a number within them that represents how
far away they are (in miles, nautical miles, or kilometers, depending on your system setup) from
your aircraft. The yellow Traffic Advisory target in Figure 41, for example, is 3 miles away, to the
left, above, and descending.
Figure 41 - Traffic Alert
When a Traffic Advisory target is present, a yellow Traffic Alert Message appears on the PFD
Page near the top of the IAS tape. Note that Traffic Advisory targets behind your aircraft will
generate alerts. They can be seen on the Map Page, but will not be visible on the Synthetic
Vision display as Synthetic Vision only shows the view in front of the aircraft.
Extreme Pitch Warning Indicators
The SkyView PFD shows large red arrows as pitch warning indicators in extreme attitudes (i.e.,
45 degrees or greater pitch up or down). These indicators point to the horizon and indicate
which way to maneuver to attain a level attitude. Indicators are accompanied with a small sliver
of sky or ground bordered with a white dashed horizon line, depending on the current attitude.
The pitch warning indicators can be enabled or disabled through the setup menus. See the
SkyView System Installation Guide for information about this setting. Figure 42 illustrates the
pitch up warning arrows with the slivers of ground.
