5.7.3.9  Unusual Attitudes
Unusual  attitudes  are  displayed  with  red  chevrons  overlaid  on  the  display, 
pointing  to  the  direction  to  fly  to  correct  the  unusual  attitude  condition.  The 
display shows either a brown or blue band of color at the top or bottom of the 
screen to represent earth or sky. This is intended to prevent losing sight of the 
horizon during extreme pitch attitudes. 
Two conditions that inhibit SVT and generate alerts on the PFD:
•	 The	position	of	the	aircraft	exceeds	the	range	of	the	terrain	database.
•	 The	terrain	database	is	out	of	date	using	an	older	terrain	database	card.
