2.1 INTRODUCTION

WARNING:In the event that the airspeed,attitude,
altitude, or heading indications become unusable,
please refer to the backup instruments.
This section describes the major features of the G1000
Primary Flight Display (PFD) as installed on Cessna Nav
III aircraft. Information is displayed using the G1000' s
two 10.4-inch color flat-panel displays. During normal
operation, the left display is configured as a Primary Flight
Display.
The PFD provides increased situational awareness by
replacing the traditional instrument "six pack" on the
pilot' s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides
a large horizon and airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical
speed, navigation,
terrain, traffic, and lightning (optional) information. The
PFD also controls the operation of the transponder, the
selection of NAV/COM frequencies, audio volume, and
many navigation features. The operation of these features
is explained in other supporting sections.
The G1000 system controls were designed so that,
regardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft
can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated
with the other hand.
