WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES
WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The G1000 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.
WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING: The altitude calculated by G1000 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74A Air Data Computer, or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the G1000 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.
WARNING: The Jeppesen database used in the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that its information remains current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is included in the G1000 package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.
WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for navigation, but rather only for non-navi­gational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.
WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G1000 Multi Function Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.
WARNING: Use of the Stormscope interface for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm penetration) is prohibited. Weather information on the G1000 MFD is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetra­tion.
WARNING: Use of the GDL 69 Weather Interface for hazardous weather penetration is prohibited. Weather information provided by the GDL 69 is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES
WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range
weather avoidance.
WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Beechcraft A36/G36 aircraft, has a very high degree of func­tional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the G1000. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
WARNING: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVi­gation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G1000 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Beechcraft A36/G36 Pilot’s Operating Handbook. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the G1000 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the G1000 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman’s Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”
CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD and GDU 1043 MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.

WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES
CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after the screen has been cleared.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current G1000 system. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

SECTION 1
SYSTEM OVERVIEW

SECTION 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot a resource with which to find operat ing instructions on the major features of the G1000 system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive operating guide. Complete operat­ing procedures for the complete system are found in the following documents:
• G1000 Primary Flight Display Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 VHF NAV/COM Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Transponder Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 GMA 1347 Audio Panel Pilot’s Guide and Supplement
• G1000 Engine Indication System Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 AFCS Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Multi Function Display Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Optional Equipment Pilot’s Guide
-
This guide gives the pilot abbreviated operating in­structions for the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi Function Display (MFD), and the GMA 1347 Audio Panel System.
NOTE: The pilot should read and thoroughly understand the Beechcraft A36/G36 Pilot’s Oper­ating Handbook (POH) for limitations, procedures and operational information not contained in this Cockpit Reference Guide. The Beechcraft A36/G36 POH always takes precedence over the information found in this guide.

SECTION 1
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Functionality of the PFD and MFD controls are the same with the exception of the dedicated autopilot keys located only on the MFD bezel.
(1) NAV VOL/ID Knob – Controls the NAV audio level. Press to toggle the Morse code identifier ON and OFF. Volume level is shown in the field as a percentage. (2) NAV Frequency Toggle Key – Toggles the standby and active NAV frequencies. (3) Dual NAV Knob – Tunes the MHz (large knob) and kHz (small knob) standby frequencies for the NAV re
­ceiver. Press to toggle the tuning cursor (light blue box) between the NAV1 and NAV2 fields. (4) Heading Knob – Turn to manually select a heading on the HSI. When pressed, it synchronizes the heading bug with the compass lubber line. Selected Heading pro
­vides the heading reference to the Flight Director while operating in Heading Select mode. (5) Joystick – Changes the map range when rotated. Ac­tivates the map pointer when pressed. (6) CRS/BARO Knob – The large knob sets the altim­eter barometric pressure and the
small knob adjusts the course. The course is only adjustable when the HSI is in VOR1, VOR2, or OBS/SUSP mode. Pressing this knob centers the CDI on the currently selected VOR.
Selected Course provides course reference to the Flight Director when operating in Navigation and Approach modes. (7) Dual COM Knob – Tunes the MHz (large knob) and kHz (small knob) standby frequencies for the COM trans­ceiver. Pressing this knob toggles the tuning cursor (light blue box) between the COM1 and COM2 fields. (8) COM Frequency Toggle Key – Toggles the standby and active COM frequencies. Pressing and holding this key for two seconds automatically tunes the emergency frequency (121.5 MHz) in the active frequency field. (9) COM VOL/SQ Knob – Controls COM audio level. Pressing this knob turns the COM automatic squelch ON and OFF. Audio volume level is shown in the field as a percentage.
(10) Direct-to Key – Allows the user to enter a destina
­tion waypoint and establish a direct course to the selected destination (specified by the identifier, chosen from the active route, or taken from the map cursor position). (11) FPL Key – Displays the active Flight Plan Page for creating and editing the active flight plan, or for accessing stored flight plans. (12) CLR Key (DFLT MAP) – Erases information, can­cels an entry, or removes page menus. To display the Navigation Map Page immediately, press and hold CLR (MFD only). (13) Dual FMS Knob – Used to select the page to be viewed (only on the MFD). The large knob selects a page group (MAP, WPT, AUX, NRST), while the
small knob selects a specific page within the page group. Pressing the small knob turns the selection cursor ON and OFF. When the cursor is ON, data may be entered in the dif­ferent windows using the small and large knobs. The large knob is used to move the cursor on the page, while the small knob is used to select individual characters for the highlighted cursor location. When the G1000 dis­plays a list that is too long for the display screen, a scroll bar appears along the right side of the display, indicating the availability of additional items within the selected cat­egory. Press the FMS/PUSH CRSR knob to activate the cursor and turn the large FMS knob to scroll through the list. (14) MENU Key – Displays a context-sensitive list of op­tions. This list allows the user to access additional features, or to make setting changes that relate to certain pages. (15) PROC Key – Selects approaches, departures and ar­rivals from the flight plan. If a flight plan is used, avail­able procedures for the departure and/or arrival airport are automatically suggested. If a flight plan is not used, the desired airport and the desired procedure may be se­lected. This key selects IFR departure procedures (DPs), arrival procedures (STARs) and approaches (IAPs) from the database and loads them into the active flight plan.

Each reception of primary active COM audio is auto­matically recorded in a memory block. When the next transmission is received, it is recorded in the next memory block, and so on. Once the 2.5 minutes of recording time has been reached, the recorder begins recording over the stored memory blocks, starting from the oldest block. Powering off the unit automatically clears all recorded blocks.
Figure 5-8 Playback
• Pressing PLAY once plays back the latest recorded memory block, then returns to normal operation.
• Pressing PLAY during playback of a memory block halts the playback of this block and plays back the preceding recorded block. The PLAY key can be used to backtrack through the recorded memory blocks to reach and play back any desired block.
Pressing the MKR/MUTE key during playback
halts playback and returns the recorder/playback to normal operation.

CONTROL
In addition to the AFCS (Automatic Flight Control Sys­tem) keys on the MFD, as discussed in the System Over­view section, the following buttons and switches used by the AFCS are located in the cockpit separately from the PFD and MFD.
AP DISC (Autopilot Disconnect) Button — Located on the pilot’s control wheel, pressing this button disengages the autopilot. Pressing it also acknowledges an autopilot disconnect.
CWS (Control Wheel Steering) Button — Located on the pilot’s control wheel, pressing and holding the CWS button disengages the control surface servos without disengaging the autopi­lot. If the flight director has not been activated, pressing the CWS button will activate the flight director in the default pitch and roll hold modes.
GA (Go Around) Button — Located on the sub­panel or throttle lever, the GA button disengages the autopilot and selects the Go Around Pitch and Roll (wings level) modes.
the MET ARM switch also acknowledges an auto­pilot disconnect.
Figure 6-1 AFCS Keys
Pressing the FD key activates only the flight director in the default Pitch Hold/Roll modes without engaging the autopilot. Pressing the AP key activates the flight director and yaw damper, and engages the autopilot. When only the flight director is engaged, pressing the FD key disen­gages the flight director.
Upon activation of the autopilot and/or flight director, command bars are displayed on the PFD. If the attitude information being sent to the flight director becomes in­valid or unavailable, the command bars are removed from the display.
MET (Manual Electric Trim) Switch — This switch is used to operate manual electric pitch trim. Moving both switches forward simultane­ously trims the aircraft nose down. Moving both switches aft simultaneously trims the aircraft nose up. The left switch is the ARM contact and the right switch controls the up/down trim. Pressing the ARM switch disengages the autopilot, if cur­rently engaged. If one side of the switch is active for more than three seconds without the other side also being active, ‘PTRM’ is displayed in the AFCS System Status field on the PFD. Pressing

6.3 AP ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT

When the key is pressed, the system engages the auto­pilot. If the flight director is not already active, it is also engaged when the AP key is pressed. If the yaw damper is not already active, it too is engaged when the AP key pressed.
Autopilot engagement is displayed in the Autopilot Status field of the AFCS Status Bar. Autopilot engagement is indicated by a green ‘AP’.

Automatic Disengagement

Automatic disengagement typically occurs due to a failure. Automatic disengagement is annunciated by a flashing ‘AP’, alternating red on white and white on red in the Autopilot Status field. Also, the autopilot discon­nect aural alert will be heard. Both the annunciation and the aural alert will continue until acknowledged by press­ing the AP DISC button or the MET ARM switch. The Yaw Damper may or may not disengage, depending on the cause of the automatic AP disengagement.
Automatic Disconnect
Figure 6-6 Automatic Disconnect Annunciation

Manual Disengagement

The autopilot may also be manually disengaged by pressing the AP DISC button, the
GA button, the
MET ARM switch, or by pressing the AP key on the MFD.
Manual disengagement is annunciated by a five-second flashing yellow ‘AP’ in the Autopilot Status field and by a two-second Autopilot disconnect aural alert. The Yaw Damper will also disengage with the autopilot.
Manual Disconnect

Control Wheel Steering

Pressing and holding the CWS button disengages the servos from the flight control surfaces and allows manual manuevering of the aircraft. At the same time, the flight director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the maneuver. The ‘AP’ annunciation is temporarily replaced by ‘CWS’ in white until the CWS button is released.

Yaw Damper

When the autopilot is engaged, the Yaw Damper is au­tomatically engaged. When the Yaw Damper is active, the ‘YD’ annunciation appears in the Yaw Damper Status field as shown:
Yaw Damper is active.
Figure 6-9 Yaw Damper Active
To disengage the Yaw Damper, press the YD key, or use the MET switch. The ‘YD’ annunciation turns yellow and flashes for five seconds upon disengagement:
Yaw Damper is disengaging.
Figure 6-10 Yaw Damper Disengagement

6.4 LOSS OF DATA

In general, a flashing yellow mode annunciation indi­cates either the loss of sensor data (AHRS, ADC, or GIA) or loss of navigation data (VOR, LOC, or GPS) required to compute commands.
When such a loss occurs, the system automatically re
­verts to the default mode for the affected axis (ROL for roll axis, PIT for pitch axis). The flashing annunciation stops when the pilot presses the affected mode button or selects another mode for the axis. If no pilot action is taken, the flashing annunciation stops after ten seconds.

This section provides a scenario-based set of proce­dures showing various autopilot modes used during a flight. In this scenario, the aircraft departs Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV) from runway 13L, enroute to Fresno Yo­semite International Airport (KFAT). Climb to an altitude of 7,000 feet MSL and fly a heading of 070 degrees to intercept airway V107. Fly airway V107 to Panoche VOR­TAC (PXN) using VOR navigation, then fly airway V230 using a GPS flight plan. Prior to reaching Clovis VORTAC (CZQ), descend to 3,000 feet and load the ILS approach to R29R at KFAT. Fly the ILS approach and execute a missed approach.

NEXRAD Limitations
Certain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar
displays. Some, but not all, are listed here:
• NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide suf­ficient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (hail vs. rain, etc).
• An individual NEXRAD site cannot depict high alti­tude storms at close ranges, and has no information about storms directly over the site.
• The resolution of displayed NEXRAD data is 2 kilo­meters. Therefore, when zoomed in on the display, each square block is 2 kilometers. The intensity level reflected by the square will be the highest level sampled within the 2 kilometer square area.

11.1 REVERSIONARY MODE

Should a system detected failure occur in either dis­play, the G1000 automatically enters reversionary mode. In reversionary mode, critical flight instrumentation is combined with engine instrumentation on the remaining display. Minimal navigation capability is available on the reversionary mode display.
Reversionary display mode can also be manually ac­tivated by the pilot if the system fails to detect a display problem. The reversionary mode is activated manually by pressing the red DISPLAY BACKUP button on the bottom of the audio panel (GMA 1347). Pressing the red DISPLAY BACKUP button again deactivates reversion­ary mode.
NOTE: The Beechcraft A36/G36 Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) always takes precedence over the information found in this section.

ALERTS
NOTE: The Beechcraft A36/G36 Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) supersedes information found in this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items:
Annunciation Window: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. The Annunciation Window is located to the right of the Altitude and Vertical Speed windows on the PFD display (or the MFD if system is in reversion­ary mode). All A36/G36 annunciations can be displayed simultaneously. A white horizontal line separates annunciations that are acknowledged from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged. Acknowledged annunciations are always above the line. Annunciations are displayed in order of priority from top to bottom. The highest priority annun­ciation is displayed at the top of the Annunciation Window.
annunciation to accompany an alert. During the alert, the ALERTS softkey assumes a new label consistent with alert level (WARNING,
CAUTION, or ADVISORY). Pressing the softkey annunciation acknowledges that the pilot is aware of the alert. The softkey then returns to the previous ALERTS label. The pilot can then press the ALERTS softkey again to view alert text messages.
System Annunciations: Typically, a large red ‘X’ appears in a window when a related LRU fails or detects invalid data. A red ‘X’ is accompanied by an alert message in the Alerts Window.
Audio Alerting System: The G1000 system issues audio alert tones when specific system conditions are met. See the Alert Levels Definitions section for more information.

12.1 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS

The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Beechcraft
A36/G36 aircraft, uses four alert levels.
WARNING: This level of alert is time critical and requires immediate pilot attention. A warning annunciation is displayed in the Annunciation Window as red text. A warning annunciation is also accompanied by a flashing red WARNING softkey label, as shown in Figure 12-2. Pressing the WARNING softkey acknowledges the presence of the warning alert, and stops the aural tone (if applicable). The softkey has now reverted to the ALERTS softkey label and displays a description of the warning annunciation in the Alerts Window when pressed.
CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the exis­tence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may require pilot intervention. A caution annunciation is displayed in the Annunciation Window as yellow text. A caution annunciation is also accompanied by a flashing yellow WARNING softkey label, as shown in Figure 12-3. Pressing the CAUTION softkey acknowledges the presence of the caution alert. The softkey has now reverted to the ALERTS softkey label and displays a description of the caution annunciation in the Alerts Window when pressed.
