The Multi- Function Display (MFD) typically displays engine data, maps, terrain, traffic and to-
pography displays, and flight planning and progress information. The display unit is identical to
the PFD and contains the same controls as previously listed.
The audio panel contains traditional transmitter and receiver selectors, as well as an integral
intercom and marker beacon system. The marker beacon lights appear on the PFD. In addition,
a clearance recorder records the last 2
½
minutes of received audio. Lights above the selections
indicate what selections are active. Pressing the red DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audio
panel causes both the PFD and MFD to display a composite mode.
The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) uses GPS, rate sensors, air data, and
magnetic variation to determine pitch and roll attitude, sideslip and heading. Operation is pos-
sible in a degraded mode if the system loses any of these inputs, but the AHRS must have at
least the ADC or GPS input to function. Status messages alert the crew of the loss of any of these
inputs. The AHRS will align while the aircraft is in motion, but will align quicker if the wings are
kept level during the alignment process.
The Air Data Computer (ADC) provides airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, and air temperature to
the display system. In addition to the primary displays, this information is used by the FMS and
TIS systems.
Engine instruments are displayed on the MFD. Discrete engine sensor information (oil pressure,
manifold pressure, etc.) is processed by the GARMIN Engine Airframe (GEA) sub- system.
When an engine sensor indicates a value outside the normal operating range, the legend will
turn yellow for caution range, and turn red and flash for warning range.
The G1000 also interfaces to the GFC700 autopilot and repeats the autopilot mode annuncia-
tors on the G1000 PFD. This provides easy viewing of the autopilot operating mode and status,
but remains a supplemental display of autopilot operating modes.
The GDL 69 Series are SiriusXM Satellite Radio data link receivers. The SiriusXM Satellite Ra-
dio antenna receives the SiriusXM satellite signal and passes it to the GDL 69 Series. The GDL
69/69H are weather data receivers only, and the GDL 69A/69AH are weather receivers, with the
addition of SiriusXM Satellite Radio audio entertainment. For detailed operating instructions,
see Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Mooney M20V.
The TSO’d KN 63, if installed, is a complete 100 watt, 200- channel remote DME system. Dis-
tances up to 389 nm (at line- of- sight altitude), groundspeeds up to 999 knots and time- to- sta-
tion up to 99 minutes are computed digitally and displayed on the G1000 PFD and controlled by
the G1000 interface controls. Distance lock- on is virtually instantaneous (usually within one
second) with accurate groundspeed and time- to- station readouts following in less than a min-
ute. For detailed operating instructions, see Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the
Mooney M20V.
The TSO’d Becker ADF 3502- (2) Automatic Direction Finder system, if installed, provides accu-
rate bearing- to- station in the 200 kHz to 1799 kHz frequency range, complete with ADF, ANT
and BFO tuning modes, plus audio output for station identification and monitoring AM broad-
casts. It is displayed on the G1000 PFD and controlled by the PFD interface controls. For de-
tailed operating instructions, see Garmin G- 1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Mooney
M20V.
The “Optional” GTS 800 is a microprocessor- based Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) that uses ac-
tive interrogations of Mode S and Mode C transponders to provide traffic advisories to the pilot.
The advisory provided by GTS800 is independent of the air traffic control system which improves
pilot situational awareness. The traffic information is displayed on the PFD and MFD via HSDB,
refer to the Pilot’s Guide and the Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Mooney M20V.
Refer to the GARMIN G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the M20V MODEL aircraft, GARMIN
P/N 190-02285-00, Rev. A or later FAA approved, for complete descriptions of the G1000 sys-
tem and operating procedures.
