SUPPLEMENTAL FLIGHT DATA
Flight ID
Flight status automatic reporting of aircraft identifica
-
tion (ID) is transmitted from the GTX 33 to the ground
stations and other aircraft.
The flight ID is set to fixed (“SAME AS TAIL” and
“CONFIG ENTRY”), or variable (“PFD ENTRY”) at the time
of installation. The two fixed selections do not require any
action from the pilot. The variable (“PFD ENTRY”) flight ID
requires the pilot to enter the flight ID on the Timer/Refer
-
ences window each time the G1000 is powered on.
NOTE: If the G1000 is set to variable (“PFD
ENTRY”) and the flight ID entry field on the
Timer/References window is not visible, the pilot
should contact a Garmin-authorized Service
Center.
To enter or change the Flight ID:
1. Press the
TMR/REF softkey, then turn the large
FMS knob to highlight the flight ID field.
2. Turn the
FMS knobs to enter the desired flight
ID. Press the
ENT key to update the flight ID.
