1.7 ACCESSING SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
MENUS
NOTE:
No other window can be displayed on the PFD while the PFD Setup Menu is displayed. Pressing the
MENU
Key while any other PFD window is displayed does not display the PFD Setup Menu.
The system has a dedicated
MENU
Key, that when pressed, displays a context-sensitive list of options. This
options list allows the user to access additional features or make settings changes which specifically relate to
the currently displayed window or page. There is no all-encompassing menu. Some menus provide access to
additional submenus that are used to view, edit, select, and review options. Menus display ‘No Options’ when
there are no additional features or settings for the window or page selected.
Navigating a menu:
1)
Press the
MENU
Key to display the menu.
2)
Turn the
FMS
Knob to scroll through a list of available options (a scroll bar always appears to the right of the
window or box when the option list is longer than the window or box).
3)
Press the
ENT
Key to select the desired option.
4)
Press the
CLR
Key or push the
FMS
Knob to remove the menu and cancel the operation.

DATA ENTRY
The
FMS
Knob can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data (e.g., Flight ID, waypoint identifiers,
barometric minimum descent altitude) into the system. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier,
the system will try to predict the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the
desired identifier appears, press the
ENT
Key to confirm the entry without entering the rest of the identifier
manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the characters of the identifier.
