INTRODUCTION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This Pilot’s Guide describes the major features of the
G1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) as installed on Cessna
Nav III aircraft. The G1000 system consists of 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 “six pack” of instruments in the
pilot’s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides a
large horizon, airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed,
navigation, communication, annunciation, terrain, traf-
fic and lightning 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 sup-
porting pilot’s guide documentation.
The G1000 system controls were designed so that, re-
gardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft
can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated
by the other hand.
WARNING: In the event that the airspeed, atti-
tude, altitude, or heading indications become
unusable, please refer to the backup instru-
ments.
The PFD displays the following:
• Navigation Frequency Window
• Navigation Status Bar
• Communication Frequency Window
• Airspeed Indicator
• True Airspeed Box
• Attitude Indicator
• Slip/Skid Indicator
• Horizontal Situation Indicator
• Turn Rate Indicator
