The display unit knobs are highly customizable and can be configured for a variety of
functions, especially for PFD functions. The two options that configure the PFD knobs
are found in the PFD Setup menu. On the PFD display unit, press the MENU button
and touch the More Options... on-screen button.
The "main" PFD knobs are by default on the left-hand side of the display, and
"alternate" knobs on the right. This can be changed by pressing the MENU key twice
and touching the PFD icon, then changing PFD Split Screen Side from Right to Left.
By default the main inner knob will adjust the HSI's heading bug, and the main outer
knob will adjust the altitude bug. The alternate inner knob will adjust the HSI course
selection (in OBS mode) or the VLOC course, depending on the current CDI source. The
alternate outer knob will adjust the local barometric pressure setting.
The functionality of the alternate knobs can be changed through the Right Side
Knob Action option in the PFD Setup menu. Note that this setting's name can change
to Left Side Knob Action if the split screen is set to Left instead of the default Right.
The other settings available for the alternate knobs are FD Bug/Baro and Heading/
Altitude. FD Bug/Baro will set the alternate inner knob to adjust the Flight Director
bug if the Flight Director is active, and outer knob for local barometric pressure. Setting
the alternate knobs to Heading/Altitude will mirror the functions of the main knobs.
Additionally, the option to Press To Toggle Knob Action is available to get more
functionality out of the PFD knobs. When enabled, pressing either inner knob will
change the knobs between main knob functions and alternate knob functions. This
feature is intended for cockpits that frequently use Split Screen features, since the
split screen will reserve a knob for MFD functions. "Main" functions will always be
Heading/Altitude, and "alternate" functions will be specified in the Right Side Knob
Action setting (also known as Left Side Knob Action).
