Section 4.

 

NORMAL PROCEDURES 

Refer to the Garmin G500 PFD/MFD System Cockpit Reference Guide P/N 
190-01102-03 or G500 Pilot’s Guide P/N 190-01102-02, presented in Paragraph 
2.1 of this document, for normal operating procedures. This includes all Primary 
Flight Display and Multi-Function Display information. 

 

Although intuitive and user friendly, the G500 PFD/MFD System requires a 
reasonable degree of familiarity to avoid becoming too engrossed at the expense 
of basic instrument flying in IMC and basic see-and-avoid procedures in VMC. 
Pilot workload will be higher for pilots with limited familiarity in using the unit 
in an IFR environment, particularly without the autopilot engaged. Garmin 
provides excellent training material with the Cockpit Reference Guide and the 
detailed Pilot’s Guide. Pilots should take full advantage of these training tools to 
enhance system familiarization. 

4.1

 

PFD Knob & PFD Soft Keys 

The basic PFD controls are on the side and bottom of the PFD, next to and 
beneath the PFD display. The rotary knob performs the function annunciated on 
the display just to the upper left of the HSI: HDG, CRS, ALT, V/S, or BARO. If 
no function is annunciated then the knob is providing a HDG function. 
Assigning the function of the knob is done by pressing/releasing one of the 
dedicated function buttons to the left of the display. The knob defaults back to 
HDG if it is not rotated for a period of 10 seconds. The Garmin G500 PFD/MFD 
System Cockpit Reference describes each function and its operation. 

 

The soft keys at the bottom of the PFD display are used to configure the course 
data displayed in the HSI (CDI button, 1-2 button) and select the optional 
bearing pointers (BRG1 and BRG2 button) which are may be overlaid in the 
HSI presentation on the PFD. The soft keys operate by press and release. Note: 
In Dual G500 installations, the CDI key located on the GNS units is not 
operational Consult the Garmin G500 PFD/MFD System Cockpit Reference for 
a complete description. 

 

The units and markings on the PFD are not user configurable. They match the 
units as specified in the aircraft’s FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual and 
standby instruments. Display and control of the airspeed references (V

R

, V

X

, V

Y

and GLIDE) are made via the AUX page of the MFD; consult the Garmin G500 
Cockpit Reference Guide for description and operation of these references. 

4.2

 

MFD Knobs & MFD Soft Keys 

The MFD controls are on the side and bottom of the MFD, next to and beneath 
the MFD display. The rotary knobs scroll through various page groups and 
pages of the MFD and manipulate data and settings by pressing the knob to 
activate a cursor.
