MODEL 208B G1000

QUADRANT FRICTION LOCK

A quadrant friction lock, located on the right side of the pedestal, is
provided to minimize creeping of the engine controls once they have
been set. The lock is a knurled knob which increases friction on the
engine controls when rotated clockwise.

ENGINE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM (EIS)

The G1000 Engine Indication System provides graphical indicators and
numeric values for engine, fuel, and electrical system parameters to the
pilot. The EIS is shown in a vertical strip on the left side of the PFD
during engine starts and on the MFD during normal operation. If either
the MFD or PFD fails during flight, the EIS is shown on the remaining
display.
The EIS consists of two pages that are selected using the ENGINE
softkey. The ENGINE page provides indicators for Engine Torque,
Engine ITT, Gas Generator RPM%, Propeller RPM, Oil Pressure, Oil
Temperature, Fuel Quantity, Fuel Flow, Battery Amps, Bus Voltage, and
either Anti-Ice Fluid Remaining or Propeller Amps. When the ENGINE
softkey is pressed, the SYSTEM softkey will appear adjacent to the
ENGINE softkey. The SYSTEM page provides numerical values for
parameters on the ENGINE page that are shown as indicators only.
Torque, ITT, N
% and N
RPM are displayed identically on the
g
p
SYSTEM page. The SYSTEM page also provides numerical indication
for fuel quantity, fuel totalizer (pounds remaining and pounds used),
generator amps, standby alternator amps, battery amps, bus voltage,
anti-ice remaining (gallons of fluid and hours remaining), and propeller
amps.
The engine and airframe unit provides data to the EIS, which displays
the data for the ENGINE page described below. Engine operation is
monitored by: torque, ITT, N
%, propeller RPM, oil pressure, oil
g
temperature, and fuel flow.
