This short video will show you what synthetic vision is and give some insight on how to use it. It also shows what traffic looks like and shows the new Garmin Autopilot.
I can't imagine owning a glass cockpit without synthetic vision installed. With synthetic vision, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System EGPWS, a GPS moving map display and FADEC Full Authority Digital Electronic Control engine controls.....anyone could fly a plane. IF they could afford it. All you would need is the power leever, and follow the map. EGPWS is a database that knows where ground obstacles to flight are. It requires no radar...only a good inertial navigation alignment.
@JetMechMA But it takes all the fun out of it.
