5.3 WAYPOINTS
Waypoints are predetermined geographical positions (internal database) or pilot-entered positions, and are 
used for all phases of flight planning and navigation.
Communication	and	navigation	 frequencies	 can	be	tuned	 “automatically”	 from	various	 Waypoint	 Information	
(WPT) pages,  Nearest (NRST) pages, and the Nearest Airports Window (on PFD). This auto-tuning feature 
simplifies	frequency	 entry	over	manual	 tuning.	 	 Refer	to	the	 Audio	 Panel	and	CNS	 section	 for	details	 on	auto-
tuning.
Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name of the facility, or by entering 
the city name.  See the System Overview section for detailed instructions on entering data in the G1000.  A\
s a 
waypoint identifier, facility name, or location is entered, the G1000’s Spell’N’Find™ feature scrolls through the 
database, displaying those waypoints matching the characters which have \
been entered to that point.  A direct-to 
navigation leg to the selected waypoint can be initiated by pressing the Direct-to Key on any of the waypoint 
pages.

Waypoints Window is displayed when the ENT Key is pressed.

AIRPORTS
 NOTE:  ‘North Up’ orientation on the Airport Information Page cannot be changed; the pilot needs to be 
aware of proper orientation if the Navigation Map orientation is different from the Airport Information Page 
Map.  
The Airport Information Page is the first page in WPT group and allows the pilot to view airport information, 
load	 frequencies	 (COM,	NAV,	and	lighting),	 review	runways,	 and	review	 instrument	 procedures	 that	may	 be	
involved	 in	the	 flight	 plan.	See	the	Audio	 Panel	and	CNS	 Section	 for	more	 information	 on	loading	 frequencies	
(auto-tuning). After engine startup, the Airport Information Page defaults to the airport where the aircraft is 
located. After a flight plan has been loaded, it defaults to the destination airport.  On a flight plan with multiple 
airports, it defaults to the airport which is the current active waypoint.  
In addition to displaying a map of the currently selected airport and surrounding area, the Airport Information 
Page	displays	 airport	information	 in	three	 boxes	 labeled	 ‘AIRPORT’,	 ‘RUNWAYS’,	 and	‘FREQUENCIES’.	 	 For	
airports with multiple runways, information for each runway is available\
.  This information is viewed on the 
Airport Information Page by pressing the INFO softkey until INFO-1 is displayed.
