Note that on the PFD, pressing the NRST Softkey accesses the Nearest Airports Window. 5. What types of information can be accessed via the Waypoint (WPT) pages? The Waypoint pages show all of the Jeppesen database data for airports, NAVAIDs, and user-created waypoints. 6. How can map display orientation be changed between north-up and track-up presentations? 1. From the Navigation Map Page, press the MENU Key. Highlight "Map Setup" and press the ENT Key. Use the large FMS Knob to scroll to the "Orientation" field. Use the small FMS Knob to select the desired orientation and press the ENT Key. 7.

Which page should be accessed in order to change the navigation data field options at the top of the MFD display? The AUX - System Setup Page provides options for changing the navigation information displayed in the MFD Navigation Data Box. 9. Which key can be pressed and held for two seconds to quickly return to the Navigation Map Page? Pressing and holding the CLR Key returns the MFD to its default screen. 10. A pilot is on a flight from KAPA (Centennial Airport, Denver, CO) to KGJT (Grand Junction Airport, Grand Junction, CO) over the mountains. Weather is predicted to be MVFR with scattered rain over the entire route of fight. How would one configure the MFD to give the best presentation of data for this flight?Assume that a GDL69 Datalink Receiver is installed in the aircraft. Since visibility is marginal, display the terrain overlay by selecting the TERRAIN Softkey on the MFD to ensure terrain clearance over the mountains. Periodically check the MAP Weather Datalink Page for areas and strength of precipitation. The combination of terrain elevation and weather information allows better planning of the flight route, but one must be prepared for unexpected deviations. 30 Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide 190-00368-05 Rev. A Ground Lesson 8 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD) OPERATION Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to configure and interpret data presented on the PFD during all phases of flight operations.

[. . . ] This color scheme also provides additional situational awareness during the critical approach phases of the flight in both VFR and IFR conditions. With the interest in preventing Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) accidents, even simple situation awareness tools such as the built-in G1000 terrain awareness feature can provide yet another helpful input to the ADM process. 50 Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide 190-00368-05 Rev. A FINAL THOUGHTS In conclusion, as GA aircraft and pilots transition to 21st-century technology, the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck provides a number of safety-enhancing benefits. Although automation in the cockpit should be embraced, both its positive and negative impacts on the safety of flight should be recognized and understood. [. . . ]
