7.12 Airspace Depiction and Alerts
The GTN aides the flight crew in avoiding certain airspaces with Smart Airspace
and airspace alerts. Smart Airspace de-emphasizes depicted airspace that is not
near the aircraft's current altitude. Airspace Alerts provide a message indication
to the flight crew when the aircraft's current ground track will intercept an
airspace type that has been selected for alerting.
Smart Airspace and Airspace Alerts are separate features.
Turning on/off Smart Airspace does not affect Airspace
Alerts, and vice versa.
