FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
SELECTED ALTITUDE
NOTE: See the AFCS Section for more information about how the G1000 uses the Selected Altitude.
The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A
bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape; if the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on
the tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. The metric value, when selected, is displayed
in a separate box above the Selected Altitude.
Setting the Selected Altitude:
Turn the ALT SEL Knob to set the Selected Altitude in 100-ft increments (increments reduce to 10 feet for
approach) up to the aircraft’s service ceiling.
The barometric minimum descent altitude (MDA) value is also available for the Selected Altitude.
ALTIMETER BAROMETRIC SETTING
NOTE: Adjusting the altimeter barometric setting creates discontinuities in VNV vertical deviation, moving
the descent path. For large adjustments, it may take several minutes for the aircraft to re-establish on the
descent path. If the change is made while nearing a waypoint with a VNV Target Altitude, the aircraft may
not re-establish on the descent path in time to meet the vertical constraint.
The barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals
(hPa) when metric units are selected.
Selecting the altimeter barometric pressure setting:
Turn the BARO Knob to select the desired setting.
Selecting standard barometric pressure (29.92 in Hg):
1) Press the PFD Softkey to display the second-level softkeys.
2) Press the STD BARO Softkey.
OR:
1) Push the BARO Knob to select standard pressure.
Changing altimeter barometric pressure setting units:
1) Press the PFD Softkey to display the second-level softkeys.
2) Press the ALT UNIT Softkey.
3) Press the IN Softkey to display the barometric pressure setting in inches of mercury (in Hg).
Or, press the HPA Softkey to display the barometric pressure setting in hectopascals (hPa; see Figure 2-13).
4) Press the BACK Softkey to return to the top-level softkeys.
