Or your satellite weather and flight planning pages. At your option, the dual knobs can be used in lieu of the touchscreen to enter frequencies for selected radios or to toggle between Comm 1 and 2. When used as the pilot’s primary flight display (PFD), the wider screen provides more visual area for the simulated 3-D perspective topography of our SVT — as well as enhanced peripheral cues from an extended horizon line. In addition, a large inset map allows more traffic and terrain/obstacles data to be accommodated on the PFD for even better situational awareness.At the center of G3000’s electronic display suite, its wider WXGA viewing format provides room for 2 separate vertical pages to be viewed side-by-side on the MFD — along with your aircraft’s EIS strip for engine and fuel data. In short, your fingertips have never touched anything quite like this.A new glass touchscreen controller, the GTC serves as your primary point of entry for the G3000 system. Garmin obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot independently So, you can picture what lies beyond the nose of your aircraft, even in solid IFR or nighttime/marginal VFR conditions. Using G3000’s terrain alerting database to create a detailed graphical landscape, SVT provides a “virtual reality” perspective view of ground and water features, obstacles and traffic — all shown in relative proximity to your aircraft. Its user interface is totally software-based. Our G3000 system is the first touchscreen-controlled glass flight deck ever designed for light turbine aircraft.This digital avionics suite revolutionizes the interface between pilots and electronics: Streamlining menu structures. Simplicity just comes naturally with G3000’s touchscreen design.Of course, if you’re a die-hard knob-twister, you’ll be pleased to note that the GTC retains a single set of mechanical concentric knobs, along with a volume control knob and dedicated map joystick. What’s more, future enhancements, applications and system growth capabilities can be readily accommodated without physically altering the mechanical controls.Responsive, icon-identified “touchkeys” on the GTC controller make functions easy to locate and access with fewer hand/eye movements in the cockpit. So, there’s absolutely no confusion as to which knob is doing what.Lifting your eyes from the GTC desktop, you’ll be further impressed by the wide, panoramic vista supplied by G3000’s sleek 14.1" diagonal WXGA high-resolution cockpit displays. 190-01107-00 Rev. Graphical synoptics for airframe, electrical and fuel systems offer easier monitoring and faster troubleshooting. B Garmin G1000 NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna NAV III Warnings, Cautions & Notes WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of infor - mation for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. The GTC controller can even double as a standby flight display in some configurations. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range weather avoidance. Eliminating visual clutter.
The current function of these knobs is always clearly identified in the touchscreen window above them.
With the extended 16:9 width-to-height ratio, these all-purpose GDU 1400 series devices can function as either a PFD or MFD — or in reversionary mode as both.
