3.4 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING
The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning capa-
bilities. The PFD allows auto-tuning of COM frequencies
associated with the nearest airports. The MFD provides
auto-tuning of both COM and NAV frequencies from
Waypoint and Nearest Pages. In addition, the primary
NAV frequency is entered automatically in the NAV win-
dow during approach loading or approach activation.
Frequencies can be automatically loaded into the fre
-
quency windows in the following ways:
• By pressing the ENT key when the frequency is high
-
lighted on the appropriate page (PFD and MFD).
• When loading or activating an approach (PFD and
MFD).
Rotate the
FMS knob to scroll through a list of fre-
quencies.
Press the ENT key to load
a highlighted frequency
into the frequency window.
Rotate the FMS
