A OPERATION ­ NAV 4. 3 NAV OPERATION FREQUENCY RANGE The G1000 NAV radios receive in the VOR/ILS frequency range of 108. 00 to 117. 95 MHz with 50 kHz spacing. The NAV Frequency window displays the following information: · NAV1 and NAV2 active and standby frequencies · NAV1 and NAV2 identifier indication (if the Morse code identifier is received by the system) · Color-coded indication of the selected NAV radio · Morse code identifier status NAV RADIO SELECTION FOR NAVIGATION The desired NAV radio is selected for navigation by pressing the CDI softkey located on the PFD. The three navigation modes that can be selected are: · VOR1 (or LOC1) ­ If NAV1 is selected, a single green arrow (shown) labeled either `VOR1' or `LOC1' is displayed on the HSI and the active NAV1 frequency is displayed in green. · VOR2 (or LOC2) ­ If NAV2 is selected, a double green arrow (not shown) labeled either `VOR2' or `LOC2' is displayed on the HSI and the active NAV2 frequency is displayed in green. · GPS ­ If GPS mode is selected, a single magenta arrow (not shown) appears on the HSI and neither NAV radio is selected. NOTE: In GPS mode, both active NAV frequencies are displayed in white. MORSE CODE IDENTIFIER Press the VOL/PUSH ID knob to turn the Morse code identifier ON and OFF. When the identifier is ON, a white ID indication appears to the left of the active NAV frequency, and the Morse code is heard on the NAV audio. The VOR/LOC Morse code identifier is displayed next to the active NAV frequency. When the identifier is OFF, the ID indication disappears and the Morse code is off. NAV audio is available with the ID filtered out for listening to HIWAS and FSS transmissions on VOR stations. The NAV radio is selected by the CDI softkey. NAV2 radio is selected on the audio panel. The Morse code identifier for the GHM VOR can be heard. NAV section of the audio panel Figure 4. 3. 2 Selecting a NAV Radio 4-9 Figure 4. 3. 1 Morse Code Identifier Audio 190-00572-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 NAV/COM Pilot's Guide for the Beechcraft A36/G36 OPERATION ­ NAV DME TUNING The G1000 system tunes the optional DME transceiver. The UHF DME frequency is paired with a VHF NAV frequency, providing DME distance information. Frequency pairing is automatic and only the VHF NAV frequency is shown on the display. Selecting DME Transceiver Pairing The following DME transceiver pairing can be selected: · NAV1 ­ Tunes the DME frequency from the selected NAV1 frequency. · NAV2 ­ Tunes the DME frequency from the selected NAV2 frequency. Press the NRST softkey to open the Nearest Airports Window, which displays the list of airport identifiers and COM frequencies. Turn either FMS knob to highlight the desired COM frequency. Press the ENT key to load the COM frequency into the COM tuning box. 2. 3. When the desired frequency is entered in the tuning box, it becomes a standby frequency. Pressing the Frequency Transfer key places this frequency into the active field. Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a list of frequencies. Pressing the NRST softkey opens the Nearest Airports window Figure 4. 4. 2 Nearest Airports Window (PFD) Figure 4. 4. 1 Loading Frequencies 190-00572-00 Rev.
