    high terrain or prohibited airspace, or if the moving map display fails. A good strategy for maintaining situational awareness information management should include practices that help ensure that awareness is enhanced, not diminished, by the use of automation. Two basic ... operations—are an excellent way to maintain situational awareness, as well as manage information. Other ways to maintain situational awareness include: • Perform verification check of all programming. Before departure, check all information programmed while on the ground…
