Experience Primus Elite® Advanced Features
Primus Elite Advanced Features (PEAF) include a Synthetic Vision System (SVS) display, which provides 3-D color images of runways, terrain, and obstacles, giving pilots a clear view of the virtual flight path. This increased level of situational awareness is particularly useful when flying to unfamiliar locations, in bad weather, or at night (see video below), reducing errors and pilot workload.
In addition to SVS, Primus Elite also adds METARs and TAF to new XM Weather overlay selections on Moving Map display. And TCAS symbology is now displayed as an additional overlay on the enhanced moving map display.
Primus Elite upgrade increases Aircraft Blue Book value.
