A INTRODUCTION 4. 1 INTERFACE INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW On both the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the Multi Function Display (MFD), the G1000 VHF NAV/ COM interface occupies the top portion of the panel. As shown in the figure below, the NAV-related controls, windows and fields are located on the left side, whereas the COM-related controls, windows and fields are located on the right side.

A Garmin G1000 VHF NAV/COM Pilot's Guide for Mooney M20M & M20R 4-1 INTRODUCTION WINDOWS AND FIELDS On both the PFD and the MFD, the NAV and COM Frequency windows are located at the top of the display on either side of the Navigation Status bar. [. . . ] A OPERATION ­ NAV SELECTING A NAV RADIO The desired NAV radio can be selected using the CDI softkey located on the PFD. The three navigation modes that can be selected with the CDI softkey are as follows: · VOR1 (or LOC1) ­ If NAV1 is selected as the NAV mode, a single green arrow 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 as the NAV mode, a double green arrow 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 appears on the HSI and neither NAV radio is selected. NOTE: In GPS mode, both active NAV frequencies are displayed in white. NOTE: When a VOR signal is received, the corresponding VOR/LOC name identifier is displayed to the right of the associated active NAV frequency. Figure 4. 3. 6 Selecting a NAV Radio NAV radio selection is performed via the CDI softkey. 190-00445-00 Rev.

A OPERATION ­ AUTO-TUNING 4. 4 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING OVERVIEW The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning capabilities that help reduce cockpit workload. The PFD allows for the auto-tuning of COM frequencies associated with the nearest airports, while the MFD provides auto-tuning of both COM and NAV frequencies from various pages. In addition, regardless of the display, the pertinent primary NAV frequency is entered automatically in the NAV window upon approach loading or approach activation. In brief, frequencies can be automatically loaded into their respective frequency windows in the following ways: · By using the ENT key when the frequency is highlighted on the appropriate page (PFD and MFD). · Upon loading or activating an approach (PFD and MFD). NOTE: Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a list of frequencies. Press the ENT key to load a highlighted frequency into the associated frequency window. AUTO-TUNING ON THE PFD COM frequencies for the nearest airports may be viewed and automatically loaded from the Nearest Airports window on the PFD. To auto-tune a COM frequency for a nearby airport: 1. Press the NRST softkey to open the Nearest Airports window, which displays the list of airport identifiers and corresponding COM frequencies. Turn either FMS knob to highlight the desired COM frequency, and ensure that the COM frequency tuning box is on the desired COM sub-window. Press the ENT key to load the COM frequency into the COM tuning box. NOTE: When the desired frequency is entered in the tuning box, it becomes a standby frequency. Pressing the Frequency Toggle key places this standby frequency into the active field. 2. 3. 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 190-00445-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 VHF NAV/COM Pilot's Guide for Mooney M20M & M20R 4-13 OPERATION ­ AUTO-TUNING AUTO-TUNING ON THE MFD Frequencies can be selected and loaded from the following MFD pages: · WPT ­ Airport Information · WPT ­ VOR Information · NRST ­ Nearest Airports · NRST ­ Nearest VOR · NRST ­ Nearest Frequencies WPT ­ Airport Information Page The Airport Information Page displays runway information and a list of frequencies for the selected airport identifier as well as departure, arrival and approach information. To display the entire list of frequencies for a desired airport: 1. On the Airport Information Page, press the INFO softkey to display runway and frequency information for a specific airport. Press the FMS knob to activate the selection cursor in the window. Turn the FMS knob to select the desired airport identifier and press the ENT key. A list of all available frequencies for the selected airport appears. 2. Figure 4. 4. 3 MFD Page Group Icon 3. NOTE: In NAV mode, upon any VOR/ILS approach activation, the appropriate NAV frequency is automatically loaded into the standby field of the selected NAV radio, regardless of the current MFD page that is displayed. [. . . ] Press the ENT key to load the desired FSS frequency into the tuning box. NOTE: The Nearest FSS window contains a numbered list of FSS names as well as associated bearing and distance information. 3. Figure 4. 4. 9 NRST ­ Nearest Frequencies Page 190-00445-00 Rev.

NOTE: The primary NAV frequency also becomes auto-tuned upon loading of an approach. To auto-tune a NAV frequency if the desired approach is not already loaded: 1. Press the PROC key to open the Procedures window. Turn the large FMS knob to highlight the `SELECT APPROACH' menu option and press the ENT key. [. . . ]
