My G1000 MFD shows Class B airspace segments but not their altitude limits? How do I turn that labeling on?

[Steve Parker]

I have a 2006 M20R Ovation with a legacy G1000(WAAS upgrade in 2018). My MFD shows Class B airspace segments on the map but not their altitude limits. How do I turn that labeling on? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make you carry a paper sectional to determine the individual section limits.  Thanks in advance for the answer.

Silly question: Have you moved the cursor over to it?  (the yellow arrows are mine; white is theirs). G1000s are pretty airframe specific but I don't think I've seen a declutter setting that included the altitude ranges.

Nice one! I’ll have to try that.  

I also looked through the map/menu settings on my way home from Boise today and do not see a specific setting.

In either case, I’m not sure I’d trust it even though it’s probably accurate.  I think I’ll stick to my faa published maps on FF.

I'll try it.  It seems odd that we'd have to keep moving the cursor from section to section.  They are resurfacing the tarmac around our hangers and didn't finish before winter so my Mooney is an hour and a half away and under the S. Louis Class B airspace with different altitudes in odd sections.

After I did this, I moved to Charlotte. The clutter even without a bunch of numbers only VFR pilots would care about was incredible. So I'm not particularly surprised it doesn't emulate a Sectional or an EFB.

You're correct.  That's exactly how it works. I bought a King G1000 video course and somehow I'd missed that in the books I have.  Tried it out this week going in and under the St. Louis Class B and your advice helped me see the airspace segments with ease. Bravo Zulu.

Glad I could help. 

I know there are those who think of me as some kind of avionics guru (someone actually called me that earlier this week). But "somehow" I've missed a lot and learn new things about these boxes all the time.
