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.

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.

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.
