3-1
INTRODUCTION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This Pilot’s Guide describes the major features of the
Primary Flight Display (PFD) on the G1000 Integrated
Cockpit System installed on the Mooney aircraft. The
system consists of two 10.4 inch color flat panel displays.
During normal operation, the left display is configured as
a Primary Flight Display.
The PFD provides increased situational awareness by
replacing the traditional “six pack” of instruments in the
pilot’s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides a
large horizon, airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed,
navigation, communication, annunciation, terrain, traf
-
fic and lightning information. The PFD also controls the
operation of the transponder, the selection of NAV/COM
frequencies, audio volume and many navigation features.
The operation of these features is explained in other sup-
porting pilot’s guide documentation.
The G1000 system controls were designed so that, re
-
gardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft
can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated
by the other hand.
WARNING: In the event that the airspeed, atti-
tude, altitude, or heading indications become
unusable, please refer to the backup instru-
ments.
