ENGINE INDICATION SYSTEM

7.1 INTRODUCTION

The G1000 Engine Indication System (EIS) is designed
to provide gauges, bar graphs and numeric readouts of
engine parameters to the pilot. The EIS is displayed on
the left side of the MFD during normal operations.

NOTE: Refer to the System Overview for informa­tion regarding reversionary mode.

EIS PAGES

The EIS contains three distinct pages, which are
accessed by the ENGINE softkey:

• Engine Page – This is the default page, which
displays all critical engine, fuel and electrical
indicators.

• Lean Page – This page provides engine leaning
information and a user interface to perform engine
leaning.

• System Page – This page displays a numeric
readout for the critical engine, fuel and electrical
indicators.

EIS INDICATORS

The EIS Pages consist of round dial gauges, horizontal
bar indicators, bar graphs (Lean Page only) and digital
readouts:

Round Dial Gauges

The gauges are color-coded and have a white pointer.
A digital readout appears beneath both gauges and does
not change color.

Horizontal Bar Indicators

These indicators are color-coded and have triangular
pointers. The pointers appear in white, representing areas
of normal operation. The pointer color changes to yellow
or red upon exceeding areas of normal operation. The
green band is indicative of normal operations.

Bar Graphs (Lean Page Only)

Each bar graph is numbered and represents a cylinder.
The graphs appear white (when a cylinder is selected
that graph changes to cyan), representing areas of normal
operation. The color changes to yellow or red upon
exceeding areas of normal operation.

Digital Readouts

These readouts appear as white text on a black
background, representing areas of normal operation.
The color changes to black text on a yellow background
(caution) or white text on a red background (warning)
upon exceeding areas of normal operation.
