Using the FMS knobs: tuning the ADF or DME
• Bring up the ADF window;
• Use the outer & inner knobs to select fields and change digits;
• IMPORTANT: Press ENTER, not the FMS knob itself, to accept the
new value. Pressing the FMS knob simply cancels the change.
 The Multi-Function Display

Nav/Com displays: as per PFD

GPS:
• Navigation Status box:
• Operator should change to SOP...
 The Multi-Function Display
Useful features:
SAM
• Change map defaults (set SOP!) using MENU
• Use MAP softkey to overlay information
•Topography, Terrain, Traffic Advisory, Stormscope etc
• GPS flight plan will always be overlaid
The Multi-Function Display

 The Multi-Function Display
Why change the range?
SAM
• Can range out to hide detail from student...
The Audio Selector Panel

 Similar functions to other Garmin audio panels

- “COM1 MIC” – listen & talk
- “COM1” – just listen

 Audio identification of DME / ADF

 Volumes
- Coms, Navaids (not DME) have own volume
- Intercom volume for pilot, one other for all pax
Extra features on
current G1000 units...
Traffic Advisory System

 Uses Mode S transponder &

replies from other
transponders
 Helpful for all transponders
to be on, even OCTA
 Don’t leave transponders on
when taxying!
Automatic Flight Control System

 All the usual functions...

 Yaw Damper;
 Flight Director;
 Vertical NaVigation;
