How can I simulate flight on my G1000 PC trainer?

If a flight plan has been entered on the G1000 PC trainer, and you wish to program the simulator to fly the flight plan, it will be necessary to give the trainer airspeed and altitude. To do this, follow the steps below:

         1. Begin on the MFD, (Multi-Function Display) press the 'Menu' soft key twice 

         2. The 'Demo Mode' box will appear on the right-hand side of the MFD 

         3. Using the large FMS knob, scroll down to the 'Airspeed' field and use the small FMS knob to scroll in the desired airspeed

         4. To save the airspeed which you selected, press the 'ENT' soft key 

         5. Use the large FMS knob to scroll down to the 'Altitude' field, select the desired altitude using the small FMS knob 

         6. To save the altitude which was selected, press the 'ENT' soft key 

         7. To exit the 'Demo Mode' screen, press the 'Menu' soft key once

The G1000 should begin flying the flight plan programmed into the PC trainer once the altitude selection is made. If the simulator fails to fly the appropriate course, refer back to the 'Demo Mode' screen and ensure that the 'TRK Mode' is set to 'TRK FPL' or 'Track Flight Plan' and the aircraft will begin flying the selected flight plan.
