The Airspace Alerts Box allows the pilot to turn the controlled/special-use airspace message alerts on 
or off.  This does not affect the alerts listed on the Nearest Airspaces Page or the airspace boundaries 
depicted on the MFD Navigation Map Page.  It simply turns on/off the warning provided when the aircraft 
is approaching or near an airspace.
Alerts for the following airspaces can be turned on/off in the Airspace Alerts Box:
•	 Class
An altitude buffer is also provided which “expands” the vertical range above or below an airspa\
ce.  For 
example, if the buffer is set at 500 feet, and the aircraft is more than 500 feet above/below an airspace, an 
alert message is not generated, but if the aircraft is less than 500 feet above/below an airspace and projected 
to enter it, the pilot is notified with an alert message.  The default\
 setting for the altitude buffer is 200 
feet.
To change the altitude buffer distance setting:
1) While on the System Setup Page, press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the altitude buffer field in the Airspace Alerts Box.
3) Turn the FMS Knobs to enter an altitude buffer value and press the ENT Key.
To turn an airspace alert on or off:
1) While on the System Setup Page, press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field in the Airspace Alerts Box.
3) Turn the small FMS Knob clockwise to turn the airspace alert ON or counterclockwise to tur\
n the alert OFF.

The Arrival Alert Box on the System Setup Page allows arrival alerts to \
be turned on/off and the alert 
trigger distance set.  An arrival alert can be set to notify the pilot w\
ith a message upon reaching a user-
specified distance from the final destination (the direct-to waypoint or the last waypoint in a flight plan).  
Once the set distance (up to 99.9 units) has been reached, an “Arrival at [waypoint]” message is displayed 
in the PFD Navigation Status Box.
Enabling/disabling an arrival alert:
1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page.
2) Press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the ON/OFF field in the Arrival Alert Box.

The MFD Data Bar Fields Box on the System Setup Page displays the current configuration of the MFD 
Navigation Status Box.  By default, the Navigation Status Bar is set to \
display ground speed (GS), distance 
to next waypoint (DIS), estimated time en route (ETE), and en route safe altitude (ESA).
To change the information shown in an MFD Navigation Status Bar field:
1) While on the System Setup Page, press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field number in the MFD Data Bar Fields Box.
3) Turn the small FMS Knob to display and scroll through the data options list and press the \
ENT Key when the 
desired data selection is highlighted.
The following data may be selected for display in each of the four fie\
lds of the Navigation Status Box.

The GPS CDI Box on the System Setup Page allows the pilot to define th\
e range for the on-screen course 
deviation indicator (CDI).  The range values represent full range deflection for the CDI to either side.  The 
default setting is ‘AUTO’.  At this setting, leaving the departure airport the CDI range is set to 1.0 nm and 
gradually ramps up to 2 nm beyond 30 nm from the departure airport.  The CDI range is set to 2.0 nautical 
miles during the en route phase of flight.  Within 30 nm of the destination airport, the CDI range gradually 
ramps down to 1.0 nm (terminal area).  During approach operations, the CDI range ramps down even 
further to 0.3 nm.  This transition normally occurs within 2.0 nm of the\
 final approach fix (FAF).
If a lower CDI range setting is selected (i.e., 1.0 or 0.3 nm), the hi\
gher range settings are not selected 
during any phase of flight.  For example, if 1.0 nm is selected, the s\
ystem uses this for en route and terminal 
phases and ramps down to 0.3 nm during an approach.  Note that the Receiver Autonomous Integrity 
Monitoring (RAIM) protection limits follow the selected CDI range and corresponding flight phases.
The GPS CDI Box on the System Setup Page displays the following:
•	 Selected	CDI	range	(auto,	2	nm,	1	nm,	0.3	nm)
•	 Current	system	CDI	range	(2	nm,	1	nm,	0.3	nm)

System settings may be saved under a pilot profile.  When the system is powered on, the last selected 
pilot profile is shown on the MFD power-up screen (Figure 1-8).  The G1000 can store up to 25 profiles; 
the currently active profile, the amount of memory used, and the amount of memory available are shown at 
the top of the System Setup Page in the box labeled ‘Pilot Profile’.  From here, pilot profiles may be created, 
selected, renamed, or deleted.
