WORKING WITH MENUS

Much of the operation of the G1000 MFD is accomplished using a menu interface. The G1000 has a bezel-mounted dedicated menu key (MENU) when pressed, displays a context-sensitive list of options. This options list allows the pilot to access additional features or make settings changes which specifically relate to the currently displayed page. Some menus provide access to additional submenus that are used to view, edit, select, and review options. Some menus display ‘NO OPTIONS’ when there are no options for the page selected.

The main keys which are used in association with all page group operations are listed below:

•CLR – erases information or cancels an entry. Press and hold CLR to immediately display the Navigation Map Page, regardless of the page currently displayed.

•ENT – accepts a menu selection or data entry. Approves an operation or completes data entry. Also confirms information.

•BACK – resets the MFD softkeys to their default settings (ENGINE, MAP, DCLTR, MODE, VIEW, etc).

•DCLTR – removes information from the moving map in a progressive manner with each key-press.

•MENU – displays a context-sensitive list of options that allows access to additional features or that allows the pilot to change the settings which relate to the currently displayed page.

NOTE: Data is entered using the large and small FMS knob. Practice with them to become efficient at entering data. This will greatly reduce the amount time spent operating the MFD in flight.

If there are more options than can be displayed turn the FMS knob to scroll through the list to identify them. In all cases, once the menu is displayed the FMS knob is turned to highlight an item and the ENT key is pressed to select that item or the CLR key removes the menu and cancels the operation. Pressing the softkeys does not display a menu or submenu.
