Advisory messages related to G1000 system status are shown in white and are
accompanied by a white flashing ADVISORY alert. Refer to the G1000 Pilot*s Guide and
Cockpit Reference Guide for descriptions of the messages and recommended actions
(if applicable).
Trend vectors are shown on the airspeed and altimeter displays as a magenta line
predicting 6 seconds at the current rate. The turn rate indicator also functions as a trend
indicator on the compass scale.
The PFD can be displayed in a composite format for emergency use by pressing the
DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audio panel. In the composite mode, the full crew alerting
function remains, but no map functions are available.
7.13.3 MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)
The Multi-Function Display (MFD) typically displays engine data, maps, terrain, traffic
and topography displays, and flight planning and progress information. The display unit
is identical to the PFD and contains the same controls as previously listed.
Engine instruments are displayed on the MFD. Discrete engine sensor information is
processed by the Garmin Engine Airframe (GEA) sub-system. When an engine sensor
indicates a value outside the normal operating range, the legend will turn yellow for caution
range, and turn red and flash for warning range.
Also refer to Section 7.9.4 - ENGINE INSTRUMENTS.
