INSTRUMENT PANEL
The instrument panel has been designed to incorporate the G1000 Integrated Cockpit. All Com-
munications, Navigation, Engine Instruments, and System annunciations have been integrated
into a custom design package specifically for the M20V series aircraft.
Engine and electrical switches are located on the left side of the switch panel. Nav, strobe, recog-
nition/landing and taxi light switches are located on the overhead switch panel.
Instrument panel lighting is provided by electroluminescent panels and post lights, overhead
panel lights and the internally lighted G1000 Integrated Cockpit System. Optimum cockpit panel
lighting for night flying is achieved by using a combination of panel lights and overhead map
lights.
-NOTE-
The illustrations depict a standard panel configuration. The location of
instruments, switches, and avionics may be relocated in each aircraft, dependant
upon the optional equipment selected by the customer and available panel space.
GARMIN G1000
The GARMIN G1000 Integrated Avionics System consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD), a
Multi- Function Display (MFD), an Audio Panel, and Attitude and Heading Reference System
(AHRS), an Air Data Computer (ADC), and the sensors and computers to process flight and en-
gine information for display to the pilot. The system contains dual GPS receivers, dual VOR/ILS
receivers, dual VHF communications transceivers, a transponder, and an integrated annunci-
ation system to alert the pilot of certain abnormal conditions. The G1000 also has an integrated
Garmin Flight Management System (FMS) controller known as “GCU 476 KEYPAD UNIT” - this
provides alphanumeric, softkey, and flight planning function keys used to interface with a Garmin
Integrated Flight Deck
.
The GCU 476 also provides heading, course, and altitude controls.
The Primary Flight Display (PFD) typically displays airspeed, attitude, altitude, and heading in-
formation in a traditional format. Slip information is shown as a trapezoid under the bank pointer.
One width of the trapezoid is equal to a one ball width slip. Rate of turn information is shown on
the scale above the compass rose; full scale deflection is equal to a standard rate turn. The fol-
lowing controls are available on the PFD (clockwise from top right):
S
Communications frequency volume and squelch knob

The PFD displays the crew alerting system (G1000 Annunciations). When an alert message is
received, an aural tone will be heard. Selecting the Alert button will allow the flight crew to see
additional information regarding the alert message.
Trend vectors are shown on the airspeed and altimeter displays as a magenta line predicting 6
seconds at the current rate. The turn rate indicator also functions as a trend indicator on the com-
pass scale.
The PFD can be displayed in a composite format for emergency use by pressing the DISPLAY
BACKUP button on the audio panel. In the composite mode, the crew alerting function remains
operative, but no map functions are available.
