AFCS Controls
The AFCS Controls work with the PFD. Click the buttons to simulate selecting the controls on the
G1000 Trainer.
The controls for your trainer may differ slightly. In addition, not all aircraft are equipped
with AFCS controls .
The AFCS Controls consist of the following:
1. HDG Key – Selects/deselects Heading Select Mode.
2. APR Key – Selects/deselects Approach Mode.
3. NAV Key – Selects/deselects Navigation Mode.
4. FD Key – Activates/deactivates the flight director in the default pitch and roll modes. If the
autopilot is engaged, the FD Key is disabled.
5. XFR Key – Switches the autopilot between the pilot-side and the copilot-side flight directors.
This selection also selects which air data computer is communicating with the active
transponder and which PFD triggers the altitude alert. Upon power-up, the pilot-side FD is
selected.
6. ALT Key – Selects/deselects Altitude Hold Mode.
7. VS Key – Selects/deselects Vertical Speed Mode.
8. FLC Key – Selects/deselects Flight Level Change Mode.
9. CRS2 Knob – Sets the copilot-selected course on the HSI of PFD2 when the VOR1, VOR2, or
OBS/SUSP mode is selected. Pressing this knob centers the CDI on the currently selected
VOR. The copilot-selected course provides course reference to the copilot-side flight director
when operating in Navigation and Approach Modes.
10. SPD Key – Switches the Flight Level Change Mode reference speed between IAS and MACH
number.
11. NOSE UP/DN Wheel – Controls the active mode reference for the Pitch, Vertical Speed, and
Flight Level Change Modes.

13. ALT SEL Knob – Sets the selected altitude in the Selected Altitude Box. In addition to
providing the standard G1000 altitude alerter function, selected altitude provides an altitude
setting for the Altitude Capture/Hold mode of the AFCS.
