Section 4: Frequency Auto-tuning
4.1 OVERVIEW
The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning capa-
bilities that help to 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 systematically in the
NAV window upon approach loading or activation.
In brief, frequencies can be automatically loaded in
their respective frequency windows in the following
ways:
• By using the ENT key when the frequency is
highlighted on the appropriate page ( PFD and
MFD).
• By using the LD NAV1 and LD NAV2 softkeys
when on the appropriate page ( MFD only).
• Upon loading or activating an approach ( PFD and
MFD).
