Synthetic Vision System (SVS)

A Synthetic Vision System (SVS) is an advanced technology in aircraft displays that creates a computer-generated 3D representation of the terrain, obstacles, and environment around the plane. Using data from GPS, radar, and other sensors, it provides pilots with a clear, real-time visual of the landscape even in poor visibility conditions like fog or night. This enhances situational awareness, helping pilots navigate safely and accurately. Essentially, SVS acts like a digital "virtual window," improving safety by giving pilots a detailed view of their surroundings beyond what their natural eyesight can see.
