Exercise 6.1: Land-based Navigational Aids
1. Is the process to manually tune in the NAV frequency the same as it is to manually tune in a COM frequency?
Yes.
2. When using the database to tune in a NAV frequency, is the process the same as it is for tuning a COM frequency?
Yes.
3. What type of information is provided about a ground-based navigation aid when it is highlighted by panning on the MFD
map and pressing the ENT key?
Navaid name, type of Navaid and frequency.
4. How and where can the pilot select the CDI information displayed on the HSI for the NAV 1 or NAV 2 frequencies?
By pressing the CDI softkey on the PFD
5. Does the G1000 system automatically attempt to identify the tuned NAV frequency? How is this visually presented?
Yes, a three-letter identifier (for VOR) or a four-letter identifier (for ILS, LOC) is displayed to the right of
the NAV frequency.
Exercise 6.2: Practice (Optional)
Using the G1000 PC-based Simulator, power up the system and configure the G1000 as needed for the following IFR clear-
ance out of KAPA (Centennial Airport, Denver, CO): “N12345 is cleared to the Goodland, KS, airport via the Thurman
VOR, Byers VOR, then direct. Climb and maintain eight thousand, expect one-two thousand in ten minutes. Depar-
ture frequency is 126.75, squawk 3470.”
The student should have accomplished the following actions:
• Entered the following active flight plan: KAPA – TXC – BVR – KGLD.
• Set the altitude reference bug to 8,000 feet.
• Entered the departure frequency 126.750 in a standby COM field.
• Entered the transponder code of 3470.
