Gcu 476 Controls - Garmin G1000 Columbia 350 Cockpit Reference Manual

GCU 476 CONTROLS

The indicators above the PFD, MFD, NAV, and COM
Keys are lit when the respective control mode key is
pressed. The unit is in MFD Control Mode by default,
until the PFD Control Mode selection key is pressed.
Many of the controls duplicate the controls on the PFD
and MFD. The discussions later in this manual are cen-
tered around using the controls on the PFD and/or MFD.
When reading these discussions, keep in mind that many
of the operations may also be performed on the GCU
476.
