A INTRODUCTION 4. 1 INTERFACE INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW On both the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the Multi Function Display (MFD), the G1000 VHF NAV/ COM interface occupies the top portion of the panel. As shown in the figure below, the NAV-related controls, windows and fields are located on the left side, whereas the COM-related controls, windows and fields are located on the right side. NAV Controls NAV Frequency Window This section provides information on the following aspects of the G1000 VHF NAV/COM interface: · · · · · · · Windows and fields Radio selection Color code Tuning box Frequency Toggle Arrow Radio status indications Controls COM Frequency Window COM Controls Figure 4. 1. 1 G1000 VHF NAV/COM Interface (PFD) 190-00445-00 Rev.

[. . . ] However, the NAV frequency tuning box does not move when GPS mode is selected. MANUALLY TUNING A NAV FREQUENCY NAV frequency manual tuning is performed by using the dual NAV knob. · The MHz (left) portion of the frequency can be tuned by turning the large NAV knob. · The kHz (right) portion of the frequency can be tuned by turning the small NAV knob. The frequency is tuned in the standby frequency field of the NAV Frequency window. Conversely, turning either knob counterclockwise decreases the tuned frequency. 4-10 Garmin G1000 VHF NAV/COM Pilot's Guide for Mooney M20M & M20R 190-00445-00 Rev. A OPERATION ­ NAV SELECTING A NAV RADIO The desired NAV radio can be selected using the CDI softkey located on the PFD. The three navigation modes that can be selected with the CDI softkey are as follows: · VOR1 (or LOC1) ­ If NAV1 is selected as the NAV mode, a single green arrow labeled either `VOR1' or `LOC1' is displayed on the HSI and the active NAV1 frequency is displayed in green. · VOR2 (or LOC2) ­ If NAV2 is selected as the NAV mode, a double green arrow labeled either `VOR2' or `LOC2' is displayed on the HSI and the active NAV2 frequency is displayed in green. · GPS ­ If GPS mode is selected, a single magenta arrow appears on the HSI and neither NAV radio is selected. NOTE: In GPS mode, both active NAV frequencies are displayed in white. NOTE: When a VOR signal is received, the corresponding VOR/LOC name identifier is displayed to the right of the associated active NAV frequency.

A OPERATION ­ AUTO-TUNING 4. 4 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING OVERVIEW The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning capabilities that help reduce cockpit workload. The PFD allows for the auto-tuning of COM frequencies associated with the nearest airports, while the MFD provides auto-tuning of both COM and NAV frequencies from various pages. In addition, regardless of the display, the pertinent primary NAV frequency is entered automatically in the NAV window upon approach loading or approach activation. In brief, frequencies can be automatically loaded into their respective frequency windows in the following ways: · By using the ENT key when the frequency is highlighted on the appropriate page (PFD and MFD). · Upon loading or activating an approach (PFD and MFD). NOTE: Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a list of frequencies. Press the ENT key to load a highlighted frequency into the associated frequency window. AUTO-TUNING ON THE PFD COM frequencies for the nearest airports may be viewed and automatically loaded from the Nearest Airports window on the PFD. Press the NRST softkey to open the Nearest Airports window, which displays the list of airport identifiers and corresponding COM frequencies. Turn either FMS knob to highlight the desired COM frequency, and ensure that the COM frequency tuning box is on the desired COM sub-window. Press the ENT key to load the COM frequency into the COM tuning box. NOTE: When the desired frequency is entered in the tuning box, it becomes a standby frequency. Pressing the Frequency Toggle key places this standby frequency into the active field. 2. 3. Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a list of frequencies.

On the Airport Information Page, press the INFO softkey to display runway and frequency information for a specific airport. [. . . ] To view a nearest ARTCC frequency and load it into the standby frequency field: 1. Press the ARTCC softkey to activate the selection cursor in the Nearest ARTCC window. Turn the small FMS knob to scroll through the list of ARTCC names, then the large FMS knob to highlight the desired ARTCC frequency. Press the ENT key to load the desired ARTCC frequency into the tuning box. NOTE: The Nearest ARTCC window contains a numbered list of ARTCC names as well as associated bearing and distance information.
