OPERATION – AUTO-TUNING
4.4 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING
OVERVIEW
The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning capabil-
ities that help reduce cockpit workload. The PFD allows
for the auto-tuning of COM frequencies associated with
the nearest airports, while the MFD provides auto-tuning
of both COM and NAV frequencies from various pages. In
addition, regardless of the display, the pertinent primary
NAV frequency is entered automatically in the NAV win-
dow upon approach loading or approach activation.
In brief, frequencies can be automatically loaded into
their respective frequency windows in the following
ways:
• By using the
ENT
key when the frequency is high-
lighted on the appropriate page (PFD and MFD).
• Upon loading or activating an approach (PFD and
MFD).
NOTE:
Turn the
FMS
knob to scroll through a list
of frequencies.
Press the
ENT
key to load
a highlighted frequency
into the associated fre-
quency window.
Turn the
FMS
knob
to scroll through a
list of frequencies.

AUTO-TUNING ON THE PFD
COM frequencies for the nearest airports may be
viewed and automatically loaded from the Nearest Air-

To auto-tune a COM frequency for a nearby
airport:
1. Press the
NRST
softkey to open the Nearest
Airports window, which displays the list of
airport identifiers and corresponding COM
frequencies.
2. Turn either
FMS
knob to highlight the desired
COM frequency, and ensure that the COM
frequency tuning box is on the desired COM
sub-window.
3. Press the
ENT
key to load the COM frequency
into the COM tuning box.
NOTE:
When the desired frequency is entered in
the tuning box, it becomes a standby frequency.
Pressing the
Frequency Toggle
key places this
standby frequency into the active field.
