  1. G1000 Observer Training Day 1: Cockpit Familiarization and MFD

  2. Revision History

  3. Table of Contents • G1000 Panel • Multi-Function Display • G1000 Simulator • System requirements • Start-up • Modes • Simulating movement • Basic concepts • FMS Knob • Pages/Groups • Soft Keys • Flight Navigation • Waypoints • Flight Plans • Creating Custom Waypoints • Mission Coordination • SAR setup • SAR patterns

  4. CAP G1000 Panel

  5. Primary Flight Display (PFD)

  6. Multifunction Display (MFD) For pilot use only

  7. Audio Panel • Two audio panels in CAP aircraft: • One for the pilot • One for observer • Ideally, managed by the Observer • Two audio panels installed in each CAP G1000 aircraft • Allows Observer to control Scanner’s volume and push-to-talk switch

  8. Direction Finder (“Becker”) • Supports new 406MHz as well as 121.5MHz • Easy to interpret

  9. CAP FM Radio • Same interface and functionality as in many CAP “round dial” aircraft

  10. Multifunction Display (MFD)How to use it

  11. G1000 Simulator Included in Training DVD System Requirements • PC (not Mac) Installation • Copy ZIP file to computer, then unzip • Installer takes up to 5 minutes to look like it’s working NOTE: Version 8 represents N594CP and has SAR mode. Version 9 has “synthetic vision”, but no SAR.

  12. G1000 Simulator Start-up • First, select an airframe • Some airframes are buggy and won’t switch to MFD mode; C-172R works well. • In version 8.20, the C-182T has SAR. • The “POWER” button starts the display. • Joystick can be configured under “Options”

  13. G1000 Simulator Modes Displays • PFD • MFD • Dual-screen Trainer (both PFD and MFD)

  14. G1000 Simulator Movement • Press “MENU” twice • Press “ENT” to move to next field • Use small FMS knob to edit settings • Use a familiar waypoint (like “KBJC”) • Optional joystick can affect pitch, bank, yaw, and throttle

  15. FMS Knob and Enter Key • FMS Knob Twist Outer knob “Do something big” Twist Inner knob “Do something small” Push Knob Changes functionality of knob twisting (cursor on/off) • Enter Key • “Okay”

  16. Page Groups vs. Individual Pages • Page Groups • Maps • Waypoints • Auxiliary • Nearest • Flight Plan (accessed differently than other page groups) • Example Pages • Map Page Group: • Navigation Map • Traffic Map • Weather Map • Aux Page Group: • XM Radio • Setup

  17. “Soft” Keys • Soft keys are labeled differently on various screens

  18. Navigation

  19. Waypoint • A vertical line extending from the Earth’s surface upward. • Airport • Intersection • NDB • VOR • User-defined

  20. Flight Plan • A sequence of waypoints, connected with lines. • Lines = legs • Active leg is magenta • Planned leg is white • See Flight Plan with the FPL button • Shown on MFD and PFD

  21. Creating a Flight Plan • FPL button • Push FMS knob (cursor) • Outer FMS knob to highlight a blank space • Inner FMS knob to change • ENT button to add waypoint

  22. Amending a Flight Plan • Push FMS knob (cursor) • Outer FMS knob to highlight a waypoint To insert a waypoint: • Inner FMS knob to enter name of waypoint • ENT button to confirm • Inserts above highlighted point To remove a waypoint: • CLR to remove • ENT button to confirm

  23. Storing a Flight Plan • Go to FPL page 1 • Ensure cursor is deactivated • Push MENU • Outer FMS knob to highlight “Store…” • ENT button to confirm

  24. Activating a Stored Flight Plan • Go to second page of FPL page group • Push FMS knob • Outer FMS knob to highlight desired plan • ACTIVE soft key • ENT to confirm

  25. Creating a Custom Waypointfrom Present Position • Push the joystick (activates pointer at present location) • Don’t rush; the marked point won’t move. • Press ENT to save • Write down coordinates

  26. Creating a Custom Waypointfrom Coordinates or Distance/Bearing • Go to WPT page group • Go to USER WPT page • NEW soft key • Use inner and outer FMS knobs, and ENT

  27. Mission Coordination

  28. SAR Observer Setup • Essential Setup • North up • Lat/Lon and Data Bar Display • Terrain height • Grid lines shown • Optional Overlays • Terrain overlay • Traffic overlay • Weather overlay

  29. North-up • Knobs: NAVIGATION MAP page • MENU button • Knobs: Map Setup • ENT button • Knobs: Map GROUP • North up • Track up • Desired Track (DTK) up • Heading (HDG) up • Knob: Push to deactivate cursor and exit

  30. Lat/Lon and Data Bar Display • Knobs: SYSTEM SETUP page (in the AUX group) • Knob: Push to activate cursor • Knobs: Position: HDDD MM SS.S (in the DISPLAY UNITS area) • ENT button • Knob: Push to deactivate cursor

  31. Terrain Height (MSL) • Knobs: NAVIGATION MAP • Joystick: Push to activate pointer • Do some math • Joystick: Push to de-activate pointer • Waypoint “B”: • 2.0nm away from you • Bearing 354 (to get there) • 1,473 ft. MSL • Search altitude = • 1,473 ft. MSL + 1000 ft. AGL = • 2,473 ft. MSL
