This Pilot’s Guide describes the major features of the
Primary Flight Display (PFD) on the G1000 Integrated
Cockpit System installed on the Mooney aircraft. The
system consists of two 10.4 inch color flat panel displays.
During normal operation, the left display is configured as
a Primary Flight Display.
The PFD provides increased situational awareness by
replacing the traditional “six pack” of instruments in the
pilot’s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides a
large horizon, airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed,
navigation, communication, annunciation, terrain, traf
fic and lightning information. The PFD also controls the
operation of the transponder, the selection of NAV/COM
frequencies, audio volume and many navigation features.
The operation of these features is explained in other supporting pilot’s guide documentation.
The G1000 system controls were designed so that, re
gardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft
can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated
by the other hand.
WARNING: In the event that the airspeed, attitude, altitude, or heading indications become
unusable, please refer to the backup instruments.
The backlighting of both the display and the keys can
be adjusted for the PFD and MFD. The backlighting in
tensity ranges from 0.14% to 100.00%. Two modes exist
for adjustment:
• Auto – The G1000 adjusts the backlighting automatically with reference to the amount of light in
the cockpit (default setting).
• Manual – Allows the pilot to manually adjust the
backlighting.
NOTE: Except in reversionary mode, the back-
lighting can only be adjusted from the PFD.
NOTE: No other window can be displayed in the
lower right corner of the PFD when the MENU
key is pressed to change the backlighting.

degrees above the horizon line and 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45
degrees below the horizon line are shown. The horizon
line is part of the pitch scale. Red extreme pitch warning
chevrons pointing toward the horizon are displayed starting at 50 degrees above and 30 degrees below the horizon
line (refer to the figures on the next page).
Major tick marks at 30 and 60 degrees and minor tick
marks at 10, 20 and 45 degrees are shown to the left and
right on the roll scale. The inverted white triangle indicates 0 on the roll scale. Angle of bank is indicated by the
position of the roll pointer on the roll scale.
NOTE: Supplemental flight data such as the Inset
Map, Alerts and Annunciation window disappear
from the PFD when pitch is greater than +30˚
and less than -20˚ or when a 65˚ bank angle is
reached.

The Barometric Setting Box displays the barometric pres-
sure in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa).
To select barometric pressure:
1. Turn the large BARO (outer) knob to select
the desired setting.
The altitude alerter provides the pilot with a visual alert
when approaching the reference altitude. Although flight
control systems use the same reference altitude box as the
altitude alerter does, the altitude alerter is not coupled to
a flight control system and can function without one. The
visual annunciations appear in the altitude reference box.
Anytime the reference altitude is changed, the altitude
alerter is reset.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
There is an altitude band set at +/- 1,000 ft of the refer
ence altitude and a deviation band set at +/- 200 ft of the
reference altitude. When the pilot climbs or descends to
the reference altitude, the reference altitude flashes with
cyan text on a black background for 5 seconds, then it
changes to black text on a cyan background as the aircraft
passes through +/- 1,000 ft of the reference altitude.
When the aircraft passes within +/- 200 ft of the refer
ence altitude, the reference altitude flashes with cyan text
on a black background, indicating that the aircraft is within the deviation band. Each time the pilot flies outside
the deviation band (+/- 200 ft of the reference altitude),
the reference altitude flashes with yellow text on a black
background for 5 seconds.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Vertical Speed Pointer
The Vertical Speed Pointer displays the current vertical
speed and points to that speed on the non-moving tape. If
the rate of ascent is greater than 2,000 feet per minute, the
pointer appears at the top edge of the non-moving tape and
the number of feet per minute appears inside the pointer. If
the rate of descent is greater than 2,000 feet per minute, a
negative sign is displayed in the pointer (-2,000) for negative (down) vertical speed and the pointer appears at the
bottom edge of the non-moving tape.
The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a
rotating compass card with letters at the cardinal points
and numeric labels every 30 degrees. Major tick marks
are at 10 degree intervals and minor tick marks are at 5
degree intervals. The HSI is displayed in a heading-up
orientation. The HSI compass can be displayed as a 360°
rose or a 140° arc by pressing the PFD softkey, followed by
the 360 HSI or the ARC HSI softkey. The HSI displays the
following information:
• Heading indication
• Turn Rate indicator
• Course Deviation Indicator
• Bearing pointers (360˚ HSI only)
• Bearing information windows (360˚ HSI only)
• Navigation source
360˚ HSI
The 360˚ HSI contains a course deviation indicator
(CDI), with a course pointer arrow, a TO/FROM arrow,
a sliding deviation bar and scale. The course pointer is a
single line arrow (GPS, VOR1 and LOC1) or double line
arrow (VOR2 and LOC2) which points in the direction
of the set course. The TO/FROM arrow rotates with the
course pointer and is displayed when the active NAVAID
is received.
The Arc HSI is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass rose. The Arc contains a course pointer arrow, a TO/
FROM indicator, a sliding deviation indicator (the TO/
FROM and sliding deviation indicators are one and the
same), and deviation scale. Upon station passage, the TO/
FROM indicator flips and points to the tail of the aircraft
just like the conventional TO/FROM flag. Depending on
the source of navigation, the CDI on the Arc HSI can appear in the following ways:
• GPS, OBS, VOR – appears as a arrowhead
• Localizer – appears as a diamond
NOTE: If the pilot makes a heading change
˚
greater than 105
CDI switches to the opposite side of the deviation
scale and displays reverse sensing.

Heading Indication
A digital reading of the current magnetic heading appears on top of the HSI. A rotatable heading bug on the
compass rose and arc marks the desired heading. When
the pilot selects a heading, a digital reading appears for 3
seconds in a box left of the lubber line, next to the HSI.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Turn Rate Indicator
The Turn Rate Indicator resides directly above the rotating compass card. Each tick mark is at 9 (half standard
rate) and 18 (standard rate) degrees to the left and right of
the lubber line. A wide magenta line displays the current
turn rate up to 24 degrees. A magenta arrowhead appears
at 25 degrees and disappears at 24 degrees. This trend
vector provides the pilot with a six-second prediction of
what heading will be reached given the present turn rate.
Figure 3.4.17 Turn Rate Indicator and Trend Vector
Course Deviation Indicator
The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or
right from the course pointer along a deviation scale to
display aircraft position relative to the course.
The CDI has the same angular limits as a mechanical CDI when coupled to a VOR or LOC. When coupled
to GPS, the full scale limits for the CDI are defined by a
GPS-derived distance (5.0, 1.0 or 0.3 nm). The CDI scale
automatically adjusts to the desired limits based upon the
current phase of flight (enroute 5.0 nm, terminal area 1.0
nm, or approach 0.3 nm). The desired GPS scale settings
may be selected manually from the MFD (refer to the Multi
Function Display Pilot’s Guide).
There are two bearing pointers available, one or two
can be displayed on the HSI. Pressing the PFD softkey
provides access to the BRG1 and BRG2 softkeys. BRG1
pointer is a single cyan (light blue) line with an open arrowhead at the end. BRG2 pointer is a double cyan (light
blue) line with an open arrowhead at the end. The bearing pointers never override the CDI. When one or more
bearing pointers are displayed (but not necessarily visible
if there is no data available), a white ring is presented
around the center of the compass rose to visually separate
the bearing pointer(s) from the CDI.
When a bearing pointer is displayed its associated
information window is also displayed. BRG1 information window is displayed to the lower left of the HSI
and includes the bearing source (NAV1), a pointer icon,
frequency and distance (NAV1 and GPS) to the bearing
source. BRG2 information window is displayed to the
lower right of the HSI and includes the bearing source
(NAV2), a pointer icon, frequency and distance (NAV2) to
the bearing source.
If GPS is the bearing source, the active waypoint identifier is displayed in lieu of a frequency. If an active waypoint is not selected, the bearing pointer is removed from
the HSI and “NO DATA” is displayed in the information
window.
If the NAV radio is the bearing source and is tuned to
an ILS frequency, the bearing pointer is removed from the
HSI and the frequency is replaced with “ILS”. If the NAV
radio is not receiving the tuned VOR station, the bearing
pointer is removed from the HSI and the frequency displayed in the information window is replaced with “NO
DATA”.
When NAV1 or NAV2 is the selected bearing source,
the frequency is replaced by the station identifier when
the station is in range.
The HSI can display two sources of navigation, GPS
or NAV (VOR, localizer, and glideslope). In GPS mode
the flight plan legs are sequenced automatically. Enabling
OBS mode suspends auto sequencing of waypoints, but
retains the current “active-to” waypoint as the navigation
reference even after passing the waypoint. When OBS is
disabled, the GPS returns to normal operation, with au
tomatic sequencing of waypoints. OBS mode also allows
the pilot to set the desired course TO/FROM a waypoint.
Color indicates the current navigation source, magen
ta (for GPS ) or green (for VOR and LOC). As the user
crosses the MAP, “SUSP” appears on the HSI in place of
OBS and the
OBS softkey now reads “SUSP”, indicating
that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A yellow ‘INTEG’ and ‘WARN’ may
appear on the HSI when the following occurs:
• INTEG – RAIM is not available
• WARN – GPS detects a position error
To change between navigation sources:

Information System) surveillance data up-linked by Air
Traffic Control (ATC) radar through the GTX33
S Transponder appears on the Inset Map (PFD), Navi
gation and Traffic Map Pages on the MFD (refer to the
Multi Function Display Pilot’s Guide). If the transponder
is configured with Automated Airborne Determination,
normal operation begins when lift-off is sensed. When
the aircraft is on the ground, the window automatically
displays “GND”. The transponder does not respond to AT
CRBS interrogations when GND is annunciated. If a delay
time is set in Configuration Mode, the transponder waits
a specified length of time after landing before changing to
GND mode.
Transponder Operation
Pressing the XPDR softkey displays the second-level
softkeys:
• STBY – Selects standby mode. When in standby
mode, the transponder does not reply to any

• ON – Selects Mode A. In this mode, the transponder replies to interrogations, as indicated by the
Reply Symbol (R). Replies do not include altitude
information.
• ALT – Selects Mode C. In ALT mode, the tran-
sponder replies to identification and altitude
interrogations, as indicated by the Reply Symbol
(R). Replies to altitude interrogations include the
standard pressure altitude received from an external
altitude source (not adjusted for barometric pres
sure). The ALT mode may be selected in aircraft
not equipped with an optional altitude encoder;
however, in this case, the reply signal only replies
to mode A interrogations. The transponder also
responds to interrogations from TCAS-equipped
aircraft.

TRAFFIC ANNUNCIATION
The G1000 system displays Traffic Information Service
(TIS) traffic on the Inset Map (PFD) and the Navigation
Map Page (MFD). When a traffic advisory is detected, the
following automatically occurs:
• The Inset Map is enabled and displays the traffic.
• A single “TRAFFIC” voice message is heard.
• A flashing “TRAFFIC” annunciation appears to the
top left of the Attitude indicator. This alert flashes
(black text on yellow background) for 5 seconds
and remains displayed until no TAs are detected
in the area.
NOTE: If a second TA appears or if the TAs
displayed decrease and then increase, a new
audio alert is heard and a new visual alert is
displayed.
The following Inset Map operations can be performed
and are independent of the MFD:
