INTRODUCTION
MFD POWER-UP
Powering up the MFD is part of the system power up procedure. See the G1000 System Overview Pilot’s Guide for details.
Splash Screen Information
The MFD splash screen (Figure 8.1.1) displays general system information such as software version and database versions to the pilot when the G1000 system powers up. To acknowledge the splash screen information and proceed to the Navigation Map Page press the ENTkey or the right most softkey twice.
NOTE: Screen images in this pilot’s guide are subject to change and may not reflect current G1000 system software.
MFD BACKLIGHTING
See the Primary Flight Display Pilot’s Guide for instructions on adjusting MFD backlighting.
MFD SOFTKEYS
The MFD softkeys are located below the display screen and provide control over flight management functions including GPS Navigation and flight planning. Figure 8.1.3 shows an MFD flowchart identifying what functions are available via the softkey labels.
The MFD softkeys perform the following functions:
ENGINE – Pressing the ENGINE softkey makes available the LEAN and SYSTEM softkeys which in turn access the Lean Page and the System Page, respectively.
MAP – pressing the MAP softkey enables the following softkeys:
TRAFFIC – pressing the TRAFFIC softkey displays/removes Mode S Traffic on the Navigation Map.
TOPO – pressing the TOPO softkey displays or removes topographic information on the Navigation Map.
TERRAIN – pressing the TERRAIN softkey displays/removes terrain information on the Navigation Map.
BACK – pressing the BACK softkey displays the ENGINE and MAP top level softkeys.
DCLTR (declutter) – pressing the DCLTR softkey removes map information in three levels.
CHKLIST (checklist) – pressing the CHKLIST softkey displays the Checklist Page.
REVERSIONARY MODE
Should a failure occur in either display, the G1000 automatically enters reversionary mode. In reversionary mode, critical flight instrumentation is combined with engine instrumentation on the remaining display. Minimal navigation capability is also available on the reversionary mode display. See the G1000 System Overview Pilot’s Guide for a detailed explanation of the reversionary mode.

INTRODUCTION
WORKING WITH MENUS
Much of the operation of the G1000 MFD is accomplished using a menu interface. The G1000 has a bezel-mounted dedicated menu key (MENU) when pressed, displays a context-sensitive list of options. This options list allows the pilot to access additional features or make settings changes which specifically relate to the currently displayed page. Some menus provide access to additional submenus that are used to view, edit, select, and review options. Some menus display ‘NO OPTIONS’ when there are no options for the page selected.
The main keys which are used in association with all page group operations are listed below:
•CLR – erases information or cancels an entry. Press and hold CLR to immediately display the Navigation Map Page, regardless of the page currently displayed.
•ENT – accepts a menu selection or data entry. Approves an operation or completes data entry. Also confirms information.
•BACK – resets the MFD softkeys to their default settings (ENGINE, MAP, DCLTR, MODE, VIEW, etc).
•DCLTR – removes information from the moving map in a progressive manner with each key-press.
•MENU – displays a context-sensitive list of options that allows access to additional features or that allows the pilot to change the settings which relate to the currently displayed page.
NOTE: Data is entered using the large and small FMS knob. Practice with them to become efficient at entering data. This will greatly reduce the amount time spent operating the MFD in flight.
If there are more options than can be displayed turn the FMS knob to scroll through the list to identify them. In all cases, once the menu is displayed the FMS knob is turned to highlight an item and the ENT key is pressed to select that item or the CLR key removes the menu and cancels the operation. Pressing the softkeys does not display a menu or submenu.

NAVIGATION MAP PAGE
Map Panning
Map panning moves the map beyond its current limits without adjusting the map range. When the panning function is selected by pushing in the joystick, a panning arrow flashes on the map display. A window also appears at the top of the map display showing the latitude/longitude position of the pointer, the bearing and distance to the pointer from the aircraft’s present position, and the elevation of the land at the position of the pointer. When the panning arrow crosses an airspace boundary, the boundary is highlighted and airspace information is displayed at the top of the display. The information includes the name and class of airspace, the ceiling in feet expressed in Mean Seal Level (MSL), and the floor in feet MSL.
NOTE: The airspace boundary stays highlighted for approximately four seconds before returning to normal shading.
To pan the map:
1.Push in the joystick to display the panning arrow.
2.Push in and move the joystick in the general direction of the desired destination to place the panning arrow at the destination location.When the panning arrow is placed on an object, the name of the object is highlighted (even if the name wasn’t originally displayed on the map).This feature applies to everything displayed on the map except route lines.When any map feature or object is selected on the map display, features or objects are displayed in the box located at the top of the display. From here,the pilot can designate the waypoint as the Direct-to destination. When the panning arrow crosses an airspace boundary, the boundary is highlighted and airspace information is displayed at the top of the display.
3.To remove the panning arrow and return to the present position, push in the joystick.

Pressing the TRAFFIC softkey displays Traffic Information Service (TIS) traffic on the Navigation Map Page. TIS is a ground-based service providing relative location of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume.
The TIS ground sensor uses real time track reports to generate traffic notification. Surveillance data includes all transponder-equipped aircraft within the coverage volume. The G1000 displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 nautical mile radius, from 3,000 feet below to 3,500 feet above the requesting aircraft. See Appendix E for a full description of TIS. A traffic symbol appears next to the map range in the bottom right corner of the display indicating the presence of traffic data on the map.
To display traffic on the Navigation Map Page:
1.Press the MAP softkey.
2.Press the TRAFFIC softkey. Press the TRAFFICsoftkeyagaintoremovetrafficfromthe Navigation Map Page.
