INTRODUCTION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This Pilot’s Guide describes the major features of the
G1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) as installed on the
Beechcraft A36/G36 aircraft. The G1000 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 on the
pilot’s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides
a large horizon and airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical
speed, navigation, communication, annunciation, terrain,
traffic and lightning (optional) 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,
regardless 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 PFD displays the following:
• Navigation Frequency Window
• Navigation Status Bar
• Communication Frequency Window
• Airspeed Indicator
• True Airspeed Box
• Attitude Indicator
• Slip/Skid Indicator
• Horizontal Situation Indicator
• Turn Rate Indicator
• Bearing Pointers

Altitude Alerting
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, 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.
The altitude band is set at +/- 1,000 ft of the reference
altitude and the deviation band is set at +/- 200 ft of the
reference altitude. When the pilot climbs or descends to
the reference altitude, the reference altitude flashes cyan
text on a black background for 5 seconds then 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
reference altitude, the reference altitude flashes cyan
text on a black background, indicating that the aircraft
is within the deviation band. Each time the pilot flies
outside of the deviation band (+/- 200 ft of the reference
altitude), the reference altitude flashes yellow text on a
black background for 5 seconds.

Turn Rate Indicator
The Turn Rate indicator resides directly above the
rotating compass card. Each tick mark is at 9 (half standard
rate tick mark) and 18 (standard rate tick mark) 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 6 second prediction of what the heading will be at the
present turn rate.
Figure 3.4.18 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

Bearing Pointers and Information Windows
There are 2 bearing pointers available and 1 or 2 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 two 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. The BRG1
information window is displayed to the lower left of the
HSI and includes the bearing source (GPS and NAV1), a
pointer icon, and the frequency and GPS-derived great
circle distance (NAV1 and GPS) to the bearing source. The
BRG2 information window is displayed to the lower right of
the HSI and includes the bearing source (GPS and NAV2),
a pointer icon, and the frequency and GPS-derived great
circle distance (NAV2 and GPS) 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.

Navigation Source
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
is disabled, the GPS returns to normal operation, with
automatic sequencing of waypoints. OBS mode also
allows the pilot to set the desired course TO/FROM a
waypoint.
Color indicates the current navigation source: magenta
(for GPS) or green (for VOR and LOC). As the pilot 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.
OBS
To enable/disable OBS mode while navigating
with GPS
1. Press the
:
OBS softkey to select OBS Mode.
2. Turn the small CRS knob to select the desired
course TO/FROM the waypoint.
3. Press the OBS softkey again to return to normal
operation.
To change between navigation sources:
1. Press the

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
pressure). The ALT mode may be selected in
aircraft not equipped with an 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.
• VFR – Sets the transponder code to the preprogrammed VFR code selected in Configuration
Mode (this is set to 1200 at the factory in the
U.S.A. only; refer to ICAO standards for VFR
codes in other countries).

mode based on automatic fault monitoring and detection
internal switching. Reversionary mode can also be
activated by manually pressing a dedicated DISPLAY
BACKUP button at the bottom of the Audio Panel (refer
to Audio Panel Pilot’s Guide). In reversionary mode, the
CDUs are re-configured to present the PFD symbology
together with the engine parameters (engine parameters
are incorporated on the left side of the display).
Transition for the pilot is straightforward since PFD
parameters are presented in the same format as that prior
to the re-configuration. In the event of a display failure,
the pilot loses one NAV, one COM and GPS as listed
below:
• PFD failure – NAV1, COM1 and GPS1 are lost.
• MFD failure – NAV2, COM2 and GPS2 are lost.
