FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

SECTION 2 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

WARNING:

In the event that the airspeed, attitude, altitude, or heading indications become unusable, refer

to the backup instruments.

The G1000 System controls were designed so that regardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft

can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated with the other hand. Increased situational awareness
is provided by replacing the traditional instrument “six-pack” on the instrument panel with an easy-to-scan
display that provides a large horizon, airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed, and course deviation information.
In addition to the flight instruments, navigation, communication, annunciations, terrain, traffic, and weather
information are also presented on the PFD and explained in other sections of this Pilot’s Guide

The following flight instruments and supplemental flight data are displayed on the PFD:

• Airspeed Indicator, showing
