FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
ALTIMETER BAROMETRIC SETTING
The Altimeter barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter in inches of mercury (in Hg) or
hectopascals (hPa) when the METRIC Softkey is pressed.
Selecting the Altimeter barometric setting:
Turn the BARO (outer) Knob to select the desired setting.
Selecting standard barometric pressure (29.92 in Hg):
1) Press the PFD Softkey.
2) Press the STD BARO Softkey.
SELECTED ALTITUDE
See the AFCS Section for more information about how the G1000 uses the Selected Altitude.
NOTE:
The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A
bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape; if the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on
the tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. The metric value, when selected, is displayed
in a separate box above the Selected Altitude.
Setting the Selected Altitude:
Turn the ALT Knob to set the Selected Altitude (large knob for 1000-ft increments, small for 100-ft
increments).
METRIC DISPLAY
Selected and current altitudes can be displayed in meters (readouts displayed above the normal readouts in
feet) and the Altimeter barometric setting in hectopascals (see Figure 2-11). Note that the altitude tape does
not change scale.
Displaying altitude and the Altimeter barometric setting in metric units:
1) Press the PFD Softkey to display the second-level softkeys.
2) Press the METRIC Softkey to display altitudes in meters and the barometric pressure setting in hectopascals.
3) Press the BACK Softkey to return to the top-level softkeys.
