nice! Also an SR22 pilot (though I just sold mine a few months ago).
Here are some other G1000 confusions I remember:
- Flying down the ILS expecting to click the "go around" button on the throttle and see the missed approach cycle .... only to find out that the autopilot didn't know I started the approach because I had the wrong leg selected as "active" when I across the IAF (and I've been tracking the green ILS instead of the PINK gps for the approach)
- Given "vectors to final" from ATC, selecting "vectors to final" on the MFD, and then have ATC issue a speed restriction up to some waypoint ... which has now just disappeared because "vectors to final" doesn't display any of the waypoints (I think the logic is that you shouldn't need them, except in this case when you do)
- Doing an approach that has a IAF and IF with a holding pattern. Am I starting the approach from the IAF (in which case I do the hold), or from the IF (in which case I proceed directly to the FAF)? Once I've coordinated that with ATC .... I forgot to tell the autopilot who helpfully started planning for the holding pattern.
Honestly I think the solution here is more automation not less. These systems got so bad because pilots correct for them all the time.
