3.5 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING
The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning
capabilities. The PFD allows auto-tuning of COM
frequencies associated with the nearest airports. The MFD
provides auto-tuning of both COM and NAV frequencies
from waypoint and nearest pages. In addition, the primary
NAV frequency is entered automatically in the NAV
window during approach loading or approach activation.
Frequencies can be automatically loaded into the
frequency windows in the following ways:
• By using the
ENT
key when the frequency is
highlighted on the appropriate page (PFD and
MFD).
• When 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 frequency window.
Turn the FMS knob
to scroll through a
list of frequencies.

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 COM frequencies.
2. Turn either FMS knob to highlight the desired
COM frequency.
3. Press the ENT key to load the COM frequency
into the COM tuning box.
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.
