DME TUNING
NOTE:
When turning on the G1000 NXi for use, the system remembers the last frequency used for DME
tuning and the NAV1
,
NAV2,
or
HOLD
state prior to shutdown.
The G1000 NXi System tunes the optional DME transceiver. The UHF DME frequency is tuned by pairing
with a VHF NAV frequency. DME frequency pairing is automatic and only the VHF NAV frequency is shown.
The ‘DME Tuning’ Window is located to the right of the HSI in the lower right corner of the PFD. The DME
transceiver is tuned by selecting NAV1, NAV2, or HOLD in the ‘DME Tuning’ Window. Pressing the
DME
Softkey switches the ‘DME Tuning’ Window on and off.
