## AWO.A.SVGS.101 CS AWO.A.SVGS.101 Applicability and terminology

A synthetic vision guidance system (SVGS) is an installed airborne system that comprises the following elements:

(a) a flight display, displayed head down or head up;

(b) a means to monitor the system performance with the capability to provide alerts;

(c) a means to monitor aircraft position with the capability to provide alerts;

(d) a radio altimeter or other device capable of providing equivalent performance and integrity level;

(e) terrain, runway and obstacle databases;

(f) a means to depict the runway of intended landing;

(g) a means to provide a flight path angle reference cue (FPARC);

(h) a means to provide the flight path vector (FPV); and

(i) a means to identify the missed approach point (MAPt).

AMC Acceptable means of compliance

## AMC AWO.A.SVGS.101 General

Further guidance on the integration of a synthetic vision guidance system (SVGS) is contained within RTCA DO-359.

Databases provided by a Type 2 DAT provider certified in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/373¹, or equivalent, and that are compliant with the data quality requirements (DQRs) are considered an acceptable means of compliance to CS AWO.A.SVGS.113.

Note: For databases, the applicant should identify the DQRs during the airworthiness approval and demonstrate that are consistent with the intended function of the equipment.

Definitions

‘Minification’: perceived visual compression effect stemming from the display of the imagery with a wider field of view than the conformal field of view of the display device.

‘Minification ratio’: field of view of the imagery being displayed to the pilot divided by the conformal field of view of the display.
