PFD SOFTKEYS
The CDI , IDENT , TMR/REF , NRST, and MSG softkeys undergo a momentary change to black text on gray
background when selected, and automatically switch back to white text on black background.
The PFD softkeys provide control over flight management functions, including GPS, NAV, terrain, traffic,
and lightning (optional). Each softkey sublevel has a BACK Softkey which can be pressed to return to the
previous level. The MSG Softkey is visible at all softkey levels (label changes if messages are issued).
