WEATHER
Operating Modes
The G1000 controls and softkeys supply all the con-
trols and functions to operate the weather radar. The ra-
dar antenna is automatically stabilized in pitch and roll
axes. The crew can manually adjust the radar tilt, gain
and range.
The crew selects the different weather radar modes.
OFF – Deenergizes the weather radar subsystem.
STBY – The radar is in standby, the antenna scan
stopped, the transmitter inhibited. STBY is
shown on the PFD and MFD. The RT (Receiver
Transmitter) has a warm-up period of approxi-
mately 60 seconds. If any active mode is selected
before this period, the WAIT legend will be shown
on the PFD and MFD.
WX – When selected, the radar is in the weather
detection mode. Weather data is shown on the
MFD.
GMAP (GROUND MAPPING) – In this mode,
returns from ground targets and decrease returns
from weather targets are shown.
TEST – In this mode, a test pattern is shown on the
MFD to verify system operation. A TEST legend
is shown on the MFD. The transmitter radiates
microwave energy because it is on.
