SVLM Symbology

Honeywell researchers have added to or modified SmartView’s symbology, which is based on the company’s head-up display symbology, to help pilots more quickly and intuitively see where they are on the approach and where the airplane is going.

While current SmartView displays are meant for situational awareness only, the SVLM display with its new symbology and system monitors is “something you can navigate with,” said Honeywell engineer fellow Thea Feyereisen. “The new symbology elements really bring HUD-like precision to the head-down display. You still have the flight director to follow, but now you can use the display to help you translate the flight director.”
