1.7.1 FMS Cursor

The FMS knob is the primary control for the G1000 system. Operation is similar to the
Garmin 400/500 Series units.
To cycle through different configuration screens:
•
To change page groups: Rotate the large FMS knob.
To change pages in a group: Rotate the small FMS knob.
To activate the cursor for a page, press the small FMS knob directly in, as one would push a regular
•
button.
To cycle the cursor through different data fields, rotate the large FMS knob.
•
To change the contents of a highlighted data field, rotate the small FMS knob. This action either
•
brings up an options menu for the particular field, or in some cases allows the operator to enter data
for the field.
To confirm a selection, press the ENT key.
•
To cancel a selection, press the small FMS knob in or press the CLR key. Pressing the small FMS
•
knob in again deactivates the cursor.

1.7.2 Softkeys

Some configuration pages have commands or selections that are activated by the GDU 1040 softkeys. If
a softkey is associated with a command, that command will be displayed directly above the key. A
grayed-out softkey shows a command that is unavailable. Also, a softkey that is highlighted shows the
current active selection.

1.7.3 AFCS Controls

The dedicated AFCS controls on the GDU 1042 are discussed in detail in the GFC 700 Pilot's Guide for
