Situational Awareness

The incredible improvement in safety that the Sierra Synthetic Vision makes possible becomes clearest when conditions are at their murkiest. In this example, you see the approach from the preceding page, but now darkness and heavy cloud cover with visibility of one half mile are simulated.

How much more confident and comfortable would you feel in this situation if—instead of relying on gauges and quick mental calculations (did you set your altimeter correctly when you received ATIS?)—the shroud of obscuring weather was magically erased thanks to the remarkable Synthetic Vision capabilities of the Sierra system?
