SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.7 DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING
The G1000 PFD and MFD displays use photocell
technology to automatically adjust for ambient lighting
conditions. Photocell calibration curves are pre-configured
to optimize display appearance through a broad range
of cockpit lighting conditions. The PFD, MFD, and
GMA 1347 bezel/key lighting is typically controlled
directly by the existing instrument panel dimmer bus.

If desired, the PFD and MFD display backlighting can
be adjusted manually. The PFD, MFD and GMA 1347
bezel/key brightness can also be adjusted manually. The
GMA 1347 bezel/key brightness is directly tied to the
MFD bezel/key adjustment.

1.8 SYSTEM OPERATION
NORMAL MODE
The PFD and MFD are connected together on a single
Ethernet bus, allowing for high-speed communication
between the two units. Each GIA 63 is connected to a
single display This allows the units to share information,
thus enabling true system integration.
between the two units. Each GIA 63 is connected to a
single display This allows the units to share information,
thus enabling true system integration.
In normal operating mode, the PFD displays graphical
flight instrumentation instead of the traditional gyro
instruments. Attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude
and vertical speed are all shown on one display. The
MFD shows a full-color moving map with navigation
information. Both displays offer control for COM and NAV
frequency selection, as well as for the heading, course/baro
and altitude reference functions. On the left of the MFD
display, the Engine Indication System (EIS) cluster shows
engine and airframe instrumentation. Figure 1-5 gives an
example of the G1000 system in normal mode.
