SYSTEM OVERVIEW
13 CLR Key (DFLT MAP) – Erases information, cancels
an entry, or removes page menus
To immediately display the Navigation Map Page, press
and hold the
CLR key (MFD only).
14
Dual FMS (Flight Management System) Knobs
– Used to select the page to be viewed (only on the
MFD)
The large knob selects a page group (MAP, WPT, AUX,
NRST) while the small knob selects a specific page
within the page group. Pressing the small knob turns
the selection cursor ON and OFF. When the cursor
is ON, data may be entered in the different windows
using a combination of the
small and large knobs.
The large knob is used to move the cursor on the
page, while the small knob is used to select individual
characters for the highlighted cursor location. When
the G1000 displays a list of information that is too
long for the display screen, a scroll bar appears along
the right side of the display to indicate the availability
of additional items within the selected category. Press
the
FMS/PUSH CRSR knob to activate the cursor and
turn the large knob to scroll through the list.
15
MENU Key – Displays a context-sensitive list of
options
This option list allows the user to access additional
features or to make setting changes that relate to
certain pages.
16 PROC Key – Selects approaches, departures and
arrivals from the flight plan
When using a flight plan, available procedures for
the departure and/or arrival airport are automatically
suggested. If a flight plan is not used, the desired air-
port and the desired procedure may be selected. This
key selects IFR departure procedures (DPs), arrival
procedures (STARs) and approaches (IAPs) from the
database and loads them into the active flight plan.
17 ENT Key – Accepts a menu selection or data entry
This key is used to approve an operation or to com-
plete data entry. It is also used to confirm selections
and information entries.
18
Dual ALT (Altitude Select) Knob – Sets the Selected
Altitude in the box above the Altimeter
The large knob selects the thousands, while the small
knob selects the hundreds.

on the right side of the display bezel (the front

spring latch and eject the card.
