WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND 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:

Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING:

Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.

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:

XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information

provided by the GDL 69 is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

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 Cessna Caravan 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.

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Cessna Caravan

190-00749-00 Rev. Bii

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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 Cessna Caravan 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 Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identiﬁed as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

CAUTION:

The PFD and 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.

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:

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 and aviation databases. 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.

NOTE:

This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.

NOTE

Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 feet away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION

The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus, thus allowing for high-speed communication. This section discusses the normal and reversionary modes of operation as well as the various AHRS modes of the G1000 system.

In the event of display failure, the display modes are as follows:

•

PFD1 failure

•

MFD failure

•

PFD2 failure

NORMAL OPERATION

PFD

In normal mode, the PFD presents graphical ﬂight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude and vertical speed), thereby replacing the traditional ﬂight instrument cluster. The PFD also offers control for COM and NAV frequency selection.

MFD

– MFD enters reversionary mode.

– PFD1 and PFD 2 enter reversionary mode.

– No reversionary mode available. PFD 1 and the MFD function normally.

Transition to reversionary mode should be straightforward for the pilot, for ﬂight parameters are presented in the same format as in normal mode.

The G1000 system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Appendices

Refer to the Appendices for speciﬁc AHRS alert information.

Aggressive maneuvering in any of the three reversionary modes listed in Table 1-1 can degrade AHRS

accuracy.

NOTE:

information provided from one of the GPS receivers is unreliable, the AHRS seamlessly transitions to using the other GPS receiver. An alert message informs the pilot of the use of the backup GPS path. If both GPS inputs fail, the AHRS continues to operate in reversionary No-GPS mode so long as the air data and magnetometer inputs are available and valid.

In-ﬂight initialization of AHRS, when operating without any valid source of GPS data and at true air speed values greater than approximately 175 knots, is not guaranteed. Under these rare conditions, it is possible for in-ﬂight AHRS initialization to take an indeﬁnite amount of time which would result in an extended period of time where valid AHRS outputs are unavailable.

The G1000 system provides two sources of GPS information. If a single GPS receiver fails, or if the

NOTE:

When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red “X” is typically displayed on windows associated with

the failed data (Figure 1-14 displays all possible ﬂags and responsible LRUs). Upon G1000 power-up, certain windows remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize. All windows should be operational within one minute of power-up. If any window remains ﬂagged, the G1000 system should be serviced by a Garminauthorized repair facility.

GPS RECEIVER OPERATION

Each GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) contains a GPS receiver. Information collected by the speciﬁed

receiver (GPS1 for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the AUX - GPS Status Page.

GPS1 provides information to the pilot-side PFD and GPS2 provides data to the copilot-side PFD. Internal system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFDs. In some circumstances, both GPS receivers may be providing accurate data, but one receiver may be providing a better GPS solution than the other receiver. In this case the GPS receiver producing the better solution is automatically coupled to both PFDs. “BOTH ON GPS 1” or “BOTH ON GPS 2” are then displayed in the Reversionary Sensor Window (see Appendix A) indicating which GPS receiver is being used. Both GPS receivers are still functioning properly, but one receiver is performing better than the other at that particular time.

These GPS sensor annunciations are most often seen after system power-up when one GPS receiver has acquired satellites before the other, or one of the GPS receivers has not yet acquired a WAAS signal. While the aircraft is on the ground, the WAAS signal may be blocked by obstructions causing one GPS receiver to have difﬁculty acquiring a good signal. Also, while airborne, turning the aircraft may result in one of the GPS receivers temporarily losing the WAAS signal.

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Cessna Caravan

190-00749-00 Rev. B

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

If the sensor annunciation persists, check for a system failure message in the Messages Window on the PFD. If no failure message exists, check the GPS Status Page and compare the information for GPS1 and GPS2. Discrepancies may indicate a problem.

• Satellite constellation diagram

Satellites currently in view are shown at their respective positions on a sky view diagram. The sky view is

always in a north-up orientation, with the outer circle representing the horizon, the inner circle representing 45° above the horizon, and the center point showing the position directly overhead.

Each satellite is represented by an oval containing the Pseudo-random noise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite

identiﬁcation number). Satellites whose signals are currently being used are represented by solid ovals.

• Satellite signal information status

The accuracy of the aircraft’s GPS ﬁx is calculated using Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU),

Dilution of Precision (DOP), and horizontal and vertical ﬁgures of merit (HFOM and VFOM). EPU is the radius of a circle centered on an estimated horizontal position in which actual position has 95% probability of laying. EPU is a statistical error indication and not an actual error measurement.

DOP measures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they are relative to each other) on a range from 0.0 to 9.9, with lower numbers denoting better accuracy. HFOM and VFOM, measures of horizontal and vertical position uncertainty, are the current 95% conﬁdence horizontal and vertical accuracy values reported by the GPS receiver.

The current calculated GPS position, time, altitude, ground speed, and track for the aircraft are displayed below the satellite signal accuracy measurements.

• GPS receiver status

The GPS solution type (ACQUIRING, 2D NAV, 2D DIFF NAV, 3D NAV, 3D DIFF NAV) for the active GPS receiver (GPS1 or GPS2) is shown in the upper right of the GPS Status Page. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. ACQUIRING is indicated as the solution until a sufﬁcient number of satellites have been acquired for computing a solution.

AFCS

FEATURES

ADDITIONAL

APPENDICESINDEX

When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D differential GPS solution, 3D NAV is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential ﬁx has ﬁnished acquisition. SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) indicates INACTIVE. When acquisition is complete, the solution status indicates 3D DIFF NAV and SBAS indicates ACTIVE.

• RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) Prediction (

RAIM Softkey is selected)

In most cases performing a RAIM prediction is not be necessary. However, in some cases, the selected approach may be outside the WAAS coverage area and it may be necessary to perform a RAIM prediction for the intended approach.

Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a GPS receiver function that performs a consistency check on all tracked satellites. RAIM ensures that the available satellite geometry allows the receiver to calculate a position within a speciﬁed RAIM protection limit (2.0 nautical miles for oceanic and enroute, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). During oceanic, enroute, and terminal phases of ﬂight, RAIM is available nearly 100% of the time.

The RAIM prediction function also indicates whether RAIM is available at a speciﬁed date and time. RAIM computations predict satellite coverage within ±15 min of the speciﬁed arrival date and time.

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Cessna Caravan

190-00749-00 Rev. B

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The G1000 automatically monitors RAIM and warns with an alert message when it is not available. If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the ﬁnal approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the messages “Approach is not active” and “RAIM not available from FAF to MAP”. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the missed approach procedure must be ﬂown.

• GPS Satellite Signal Strengths The GPS Status Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite

coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRN number (01-32 or 120-138 for WAAS) below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar appearance:

- No bar—Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite

- Hollow bar—Receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data

- Light blue bar—Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can be used

- Green bar—Satellite is being used for the GPS solution

- Checkered bar—Receiver has excluded the satellite (Fault Detection and Exclusion)

- “D” indication—Denotes the satellite is being used as part of the differential computations

Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (signal strength bar is hollow) before

the satellite may be used for navigation (signal strength bar becomes solid).

GPS CDI

The GPS CDI Box on the System Setup Page allows the pilot to deﬁne the range for the on-screen course deviation indicator (CDI). The range values represent full range deﬂection for the CDI to either side. The default setting is ‘AUTO’. Refer to the Flight Instruments sections for a discussion on CDI scaling.

If a lower CDI range setting is selected (i.e., 1.0 or 0.3 nm), the higher range settings are not selected during any phase of ﬂight. For example, if 1.0 nm is selected, the G1000 uses this for en route and terminal phases and ramps down to 0.3 nm during an approach. Note that the Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) protection limits follow the selected CDI range and corresponding ﬂight phases.

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)

The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI; Figure 2-13) displays the aircraft vertical speed with numeric labels and tick marks at 1000 and 2000 fpm in each direction on the non-moving tape. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 500 fpm. The current vertical speed is displayed in the pointer, which also points to that speed on the nonmoving tape. Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm. If the rate of ascent/descent exceeds 2000 fpm, the pointer appears at the corresponding edge of the tape and the rate appears inside the pointer.

A magenta chevron bug is displayed as the Required Vertical Speed Indication (RVSI; Figure 2-13) for reaching a VNV Target Altitude once the “TOD [Top of Descent] within 1 minute” alert has been generated. See the Flight Management and AFCS sections for details on VNV features, and refer to Flight Data, for more information about VNV indications on the PFDs.

VERTICAL DEVIATION

The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI; Figure 2-13) uses a magenta chevron to indicate the baro-VNV vertical deviation when Vertical Navigation (VNV) is being used; the VDI appears in conjunction with the “TOD within 1 minute” alert. Full-scale deﬂection (two dots) is 1000 feet. The VDI is removed from the display if vertical deviation becomes invalid. See the Flight Management and AFCS sections for details on VNV features, and refer to Section 2.2, Supplemental Flight Data, for more information about VNV indications on the PFDs.

The Glideslope Indicator (Figure 2-14) appears to the left of the Altimeter whenever an ILS frequency is tuned in the active NAV ﬁeld. A green diamond acts as the Glideslope Indicator, like a glideslope needle on a conventional indicator. If a localizer frequency is tuned and there is no glideslope, “NO GS” is annunciated.

The glidepath is analogous to the glideslope for GPS approaches supporting WAAS vertical guidance (LNAV+V, LNAV/VNAV, LPV) and is generated by the system to reduce pilot workload during approach. When an approach of this type is loaded into the ﬂight plan and GPS is the selected navigation source, the Glidepath Indicator (Figure 2-15) appears as a magenta diamond. If the approach type downgrades past the ﬁnal approach ﬁx (FAF), “NO GP” is annunciated.

The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a rotating compass card in a heading-up orientation. Letters indicate the cardinal points and numeric labels occur every 30˚. Major tick marks are at 10˚ intervals and minor tick marks at 5˚ intervals. A digital reading of the current heading appears on top of the HSI, and the current track is represented on the HSI by a magenta diamond. The HSI also presents turn rate, course deviation, bearing, and navigation source information and is available in two formats (360˚ compass rose and 140˚ arc).

TURN RATE INDICATOR

The Turn Rate Indicator is located directly above the rotating compass rose. Tick marks to the left and right of the lubber line denote half-standard and standard turn rates. A magenta Turn Rate Trend Vector shows the current turn rate. The end of the trend vector gives the heading predicted in 6 seconds, based on the present turn rate. A standard-rate turn is shown on the indicator by the trend vector stopping at the standard turn rate tick mark, corresponding to a predicted heading of 18˚ from the current heading. At rates greater than 4 deg/sec, an arrowhead appears at the end of the magenta trend vector and the prediction is no longer valid.

- The next leg in the departure procedure is not aligned with the departure runway

- The next leg in the departure procedure is not a CA, CD, CF, CI, CR, DF, FA, FC, FD, FM, IF, or TF leg (see Glossary for leg type deﬁnitions)

- After any leg in the departure procedure that is not a CA or FA leg

• At 30 nm from the departure airport the enroute phase of ﬂight is automatically entered and CDI scaling changes to 2.0 nm over a distance of 1.0 nm, except under the following conditions:

- When navigating with an active departure procedure, the ﬂight phase and CDI scale does not change until the aircraft arrives at the last departure waypoint (if more than 30 nm from the departure airport) or the leg after the last departure waypoint has been activated or a direct-to waypoint is activated.

• If after completing the departure procedure the nearest airport is more than 200 nm away from the aircraft and the approach procedure has not yet commenced, the CDI is scaled for

oceanic ﬂight (2.0 nm).

• Within 31 nm of the destination airport (terminal area), the CDI scale gradually ramps down from 2.0 nm to 1.0 nm over a distance of 1.0 nm, except under the following conditions:

- When navigating with an active arrival route, the ﬂight phase and CDI scale does not change until the aircraft arrives at the ﬁrst waypoint in the arrive route (if within 31 nm from the destination airport).

• During approach, the CDI scale ramps down even further (see Figures 2-29 and 2-30). This transition normally occurs within 2.0 nm of the Final Approach Fix (FAF). The CDI switches to approach scaling automatically once the approach procedure is active or if Vectors-To-Final (VTF) are selected.

- If the active waypoint is the FAF, the ground track and the bearing to the FAF must be within 45° of the

ﬁnal approach segment course.

- If the active waypoint is part of the missed approach procedure, the active leg and the preceding missed

MINIMUM DESCENT ALTITUDE/DECISION HEIGHT ALERTING

For altitude awareness, a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) or Decision Height (DH), based on barometric altitude or radar altitude (optional), can be set. When active, the altitude setting is displayed to the lower left of the Altimeter and with a bug at the corresponding altitude along the Altimeter (once the altitude is within the visible range of the tape).

The following visual annunciations alert the pilot when approaching the MDA/DH:

• When the aircraft altitude descends to within 2500 feet of the MDA/DH setting, a box labeled ‘BARO MIN’ or

‘RA MIN’ (based on the selected altitude source) appears with the altitude in light blue text. The bug appears

in light blue on the altitude tape at the corresponding altitude once in range.

• When the aircraft passes through 100 feet of the MDA or DH, the bug and text turn white.

• Once the aircraft reaches the MDA/DH, the bug and text turn yellow and the aural alert, “Minimums

Minimums”, is generated. When the radar altimeter is selected as the altitude source for the Minimum

Descent Altitude alerting function, the color of the current radar height changes to yellow.

When the radar height (the aircraft altitude above ground level detected by the radar altimeter) is between

-40 and 2500 feet, the current value is displayed in green above the current aircraft heading (Figure 2-50). Display of radar height becomes less sensitive as the height above ground decreases (Table 2-3). When the radar altimeter is selected as the altitude source for the minimum descent altitude alerting function (Figure 2-51), the color of the radar height changes to yellow (Figure 2-52). A ground line (Figure 2-53) is shown on the Altimeter to display the aircraft’s height relative to the ground.
