SYSTEM OVERVIEW
If a lower CDI range setting is selected (i.e., 1.0 or 0.3 nm), the higher range settings are not selected
during any phase of flight. For example, if 1.0 nm is selected, the G1000 uses this for en route and terminal
phases and ramps down to the proper scaling during an approach.
The GPS CDI Box on the System Setup Page displays the following:
• Selected CDI range (auto, 2 nm, 1 nm, 0.3 nm)
• Current system CDI range (2 nm, 1 nm, 0.3 nm)
Refer to the Course Deviation Indicator discussion in the Flight Instruments section for a more detailed
discussion of CDI scaling.
Changing the CDI range:
1)
While on the System Setup Page, press the
FMS
Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
2)
Turn the large
FMS
Knob to highlight the selected field in the GPS CDI Box.
3)
