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.
INTRODUCTION RADIO SELECTION WINDOWS AND FIELDS On both the PFD and the MFD, the NAV and COM Frequency windows are located at the top of the display on either side of the Navigation Status bar. Radio selection is performed as follows: • NAV radio selection is performed via the CDI softkey located on the PFD: • The NAV Frequency window is displayed to the left of the Navigation Status bar. – When NAV1 radio is selected, a single green arrow labeled either ‘VOR1’ or ‘LOC1’ is displayed on the HSI.
INTRODUCTION COLOR CODE FREQUENCY TOGGLE ARROW Frequencies located in the active field are displayed in either green or white. In both the COM and NAV windows, a Frequency Toggle Arrow appears next to the tuning box, between the active and standby frequencies. Pressing the dual COM or NAV knob toggles both the frequency tuning box and the Frequency Toggle Arrow between the radios. • An active frequency that is displayed in green indicates that the corresponding radio is selected (i.e.
INTRODUCTION CONTROLS The NAV Frequency window is controlled by knobs and keys located to the left side of the display, while the COM Frequency window is controlled by knobs and keys located to the right side of the display. The controls associated with the NAV window are as follows: • A VOL/PUSH ID knob – Turn to adjust the NAV radio volume level. – Press to turn the Morse code identifier ON and OFF. • A Frequency Toggle key – Press to toggle the NAV frequencies between the active and standby fields.
OPERATION – COM 4.2 COM FREQUENCY WINDOW OVERVIEW The G1000 COM radios can be tuned either over the 118.000 to 136.975 MHz frequency range with 25 kHz spacing selected or over the 118.000 to 136.990 MHz frequency range with 8.33 kHz spacing selected. NOTE: COM channel spacing can be configured through the MFD, in the System Setup Page of the AUX Page group.
OPERATION – COM SWITCHING THE TUNING BOX BETWEEN COM RADIOS Pressing the dual COM knob toggles the frequency tuning box between the COM1 and COM2 fields. TOGGLING COM FREQUENCIES Pressing the COM Frequency Toggle key toggles the COM frequencies between the active and standby fields of the COM radio on which the Frequency Toggle Arrow is located. NOTE: When a different COM MIC is selected on the audio panel, the frequency tuning box also moves on both the PFD and MFD.
OPERATION – COM RADIO STATUS Quickly Tuning and Activating 121.500 MHz When a COM radio is keyed, a white TX indication appears to the right of the active COM frequency to indicate that a transmission is in progress. The TX indication disappears once COM transmission is completed. Pressing and holding the COM Frequency Toggle key for approximately two (2) seconds automatically loads the emergency COM frequency (121.

OPERATION – NAV 4.3 NAV FREQUENCY WINDOW OVERVIEW The G1000 NAV radios can be tuned over the 108.00 to 117.95 MHz frequency range with 50 kHz spacing.
OPERATION – NAV SWITCHING THE TUNING BOX BETWEEN NAV RADIOS Pressing the dual NAV knob toggles the frequency tuning box between the NAV1 and NAV2 sub-windows. TOGGLING NAV FREQUENCIES Pressing the NAV Frequency Toggle key toggles the NAV frequencies between the active and standby fields of the NAV radio on which the Frequency Toggle Arrow is located. Pushing the dual NAV knob switches the tuning box from one NAV radio to the other. Figure 4.3.
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.

OPERATION – AUTO-TUNING 4.4 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING 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. 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.
OPERATION – AUTO-TUNING AUTO-TUNING ON THE MFD WPT – Airport Information Page Frequencies can be selected and loaded from the following MFD pages: The Airport Information Page displays runway information and a list of frequencies for the selected airport identifier as well as departure, arrival and approach information. • WPT – Airport Information • WPT – VOR Information • NRST – Nearest Airports • NRST – Nearest VOR To display the entire list of frequencies for a desired airport: 1.
OPERATION – AUTO-TUNING To load the desired COM frequency into the COM tuning box: To load the primary approach NAV frequency into the NAV tuning box: 1. When the list of frequencies for the selected airport is displayed, highlight the desired frequency by turning the large FMS knob. 1 On the Airport Information Page, press the APR softkey to display approach information for a specific airport. 2. Press the ENT key. 2. Press the FMS knob to activate the selection cursor in the window.
OPERATION – AUTO-TUNING WPT – VOR Information Page The VOR Information Page displays information specific to individual VORs, including the airport that is nearest to the selected VOR.
