SECTION 4 – MFD
Working With Menus
Much of the operation of the G1000 is accomplished
using a menu interface. The G1000 has a bezel-mounted
dedicated menu key that when pressed, displays a con-
text-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 cur-
rently 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 effi-
cient at entering data. This will greatly reduce
the amount time spent operating the MFD in
flight.
There may be more options than can be displayed so
you may have to turn the small or large FMS knob to
scroll through the list to identify them. In all cases, once
the menu is displayed the small or large 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.
