SYSTEM
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The G1000 Engine Indication System (EIS) is designed
to provide gauges, bar graphs and numeric readouts of
engine parameters. The EIS is displayed on the left side of
the MFD during normal operations.
NOTE: Refer to the System Overview for informa-
tion regarding reversionary mode.
The EIS contains three distinct pages, which are ac-
cessed by the ENGINE softkey:
• Engine Page – This is the default page, which
displays all critical engine, fuel and electrical
indicators.
• Lean Page – This page provides engine leaning
information and a user interface to perform engine
leaning.
• System Page – This page provides a digital
readout for the critical engine, fuel and electrical
indicators.
EIS INDICATORS
The EIS Pages consist of a round dial gauge, horizon-
tal bar indicators, bar graphs (Lean Page only) and digital
readouts:
Round Dial Gauge
The gauge is color-coded and has a white pointer. A
digital readout appears beneath the gauge and does not
change color.
Horizontal Bar Indicators
These indicators are color-coded and have triangular
pointers. The pointers appear in white, representing areas
of normal operation. The pointer color changes to yellow
or red upon exceeding areas of normal operation. The
green band is indicative of normal operations.
Bar Graphs (Lean Page Only)
Each bar graph is numbered and represents a cylinder.
The graphs appear white (when a cylinder is selected that
graph changes to cyan), representing areas of normal op
-
eration. The color changes to yellow or red upon exceed-
ing areas of normal operation.
Digital Readouts
These readouts appear as white text on a black back
-
ground, representing areas of normal operation. The color
changes to black text on a yellow background (caution) or
white text on a red background (warning) upon exceeding
areas of normal operation.
