Hi all,

 

After a feast of uneventfull flights, I decided to turn south in a mega ETOPS flight. Yesterday I started in Copenhagen heading for Rio de Janeiro. The Boeing 777 is a real work horse.

 

I am now heading from SBGL to YSSY. A 9000nm flight. A true test of range and ETOPS.

 

 

 

Here we are, a little over 6 hours into the flight and a mystical magenta path in on the TERR display. This is very near to the Date line.

 

Has anyone else noticed this problem.

 

...And in 12 hours time I shall fly straight back to Copenhagen from Sydney, thus circumventing the globe with only 2 fuel stops

 

I have noticed that with map range > 160 nm, the TERR display draws oddly (e.g. like you're only looking at partial terrain data beyond 160 nm).

 

I'm flying the opposite direction over the IDL, so will let you know.

 

Best regards,

Robin.

I think there was another thread where it was said that magenta terrain display = unknown or no data.
