WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The G1000Terrain 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:Donotuseoutdateddatabaseinformation.DatabasesusedintheG1000systemmustbeupdated 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 Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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.

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:Thisdevicecomplieswithpart15oftheFCCRules. Operationissubjecttothefollowingtwoconditions:

(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.

The system consists of the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):

• GDU 1040A Primary Flight Display (PFD)	• GTX 33 Mode S Transponder
• GDU 1040A Multi Function Display (MFD)	• GDL 69A Satellite Data Link Receiver
• GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Unit	• GWX 68 Weather Radar
• GDC 74A Air Data Computer (ADC)	• GMC 710 AFCS Control Unit
• GEA 71 Engine/Airframe Unit	• GTP 59 Outside Air Temperature (OAT) Probe
• GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference System	• GSA 80 and GSA 81 AFCS Servos
(AHRS)	• GSM 85 and GSM 85A Servo Mounts

•GMU 44 Magnetometer

•GMA 1347 Audio System with Integrated Marker Beacon Receiver

A top-level G1000 system block diagram is shown in Figure 1-1 (it does not include the GSM 85 or 85A).

NOTE: Refer to the AFCS section for details on the GFC 700 AFCS.

In the Cessna Caravan, the GFC 700 Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) provides the flight director (FD), autopilot (AP), and yaw damper (YD) functions of the G1000 system.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

•GDU1040A(3) – Each of the PFDs and the MFD feature a 10.4-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution. The unit installed on the left/pilot side is designated as PFD1. The unit installed on the right/co-pilot side is designated as PFD2. The unit installed in the center of the panel is designated as the MFD. These units communicate with each other and with the GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.

•GIA 63W (2) – Functions as the main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the displays via HSDB connections. Each GIA 63W contains a GPS WAAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a flight director (FD) and system integration microprocessors. The GIA 63Ws are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.

•GDC74A(2) – Processes data from the pitot/static system as well as the OAT probe. This unit provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed and OAT information to the G1000 system, and it communicates with the onside GIA 63W, on-side GDU 1040A, on-side GTP59, and on-side GRS 77, using an ARINC 429 digital interface (the pilot’s side GDC 74A also interfaces directly with the MFD).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

•GEA 71 (1) – Receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. This unit communicates with both GIA 63Ws using an RS-485 digital interface.

•GRS77(2) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both the on-side GDU 1040A and the on-side GIA 63W (the pilot-side GRS 77 also interfaces with the MFD). The GRS 77 contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the on-side GMU 44 to obtain magnetic field information, with the GDC 74B to obtain air data, and with both GIA 63Ws to obtain GPS information. AHRS modes of operation are discussed later in this document.

•GMU 44 (2) – Measures local magnetic field. Data is sent to the GRS 77 for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the GRS 77 and communicates with the GRS 77, using an RS-485 and RS-232 digital interface.

•GMA 1347 (1) – Integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls, and is installed between PFD1 and the MFD. This unit also enables the manual control of the display reversionary mode (red DISPLAY BACKUP button) and communicates with both GIA 63Ws, using an RS-232 digital interface.

•GSA 80 (2), GSA 81(2), GSM 85(1) and GSM 85A(3) – The GSA 80 servos are used for the automatic control of roll and yaw, while the GSA 81 servos are used for the automatic control of pitch and pitch trim. These units interface with each GIA 63W via an RS-485 interface.

The GSM 85 and GSM 85A servo mounts are responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 80/81 servo actuator to the mechanical flight-control surface linkage. The GSM 85A servo gearboxes are used when installed in areas that could experience ice or other contamination. The GSM 85 servo gearbox is used for the pitch-trim axis, which is installed in a benign enviroment.

1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP

NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations.

NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts.

NOTE: See the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POHAFM) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation.

The G1000 system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The G1000 PFDs, MFD and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs and outputs to provide safe operation.

During system initialization, test annunciations are displayed, as shown in Figure 1-7. All system annunciations should disappear typically within one minute of power-up. Upon power-up, key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the audio panels, the control units and the display bezels.

On the PFD, the AHRS begins to initialize and displays ‘AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level’. The AHRS should display valid attitude and heading fields typically within one minute of power-up. The AHRS can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

When the MFD powers up (Figure 1-8), the MFD Power-up Page displays the following information:

• System version	• Terrain database name and version
• Copyright	• Aviation database name, version, and effective dates
• Land database name and version	• Chartview database information
• Obstacle database name and version	• Safe Taxi database information

Current database information includes the valid operating dates, cycle number and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Pressing the ENT Key acknowledges this information and displays the (MAP) Navigation Map Page.

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 enters reversionary mode.

•MFD failure – PFD1 and PFD 2 enter reversionary mode.

•PFD2 failure – No reversionary mode available. PFD 1 and the MFD function normally.

EIS FLIGHT SYSTEM INSTRUMENTS OVERVIEW

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

Innormalmode,therightportionoftheMFDdisplaysafull-colormovingmapwithnavigationinformation, while the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (EIS).

NOTE:TheG1000systemalertsthepilotwhenbackuppathsareutilizedbytheLRUs. RefertotheAppendices

for further information regarding system-specific alerts.

In the event of PFD1 or MFD failure, reversionary (or backup) mode is selected by pressing the red Display Backup Button on the Audio Panel. Reversionary mode is a mode of operation in which all important flight information is presented on at least one of the remaining displays (see Figure 1-10). Transition to reversionary mode should be straightforward for the pilot, for flight parameters are presented in the same format as in normal mode.

Figure 1-10 Reversionary Mode

Pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP button activates/ deactivates reversionary mode for both the on-side PFD and the MFD.

Figure 1-11 DISPLAY BACKUP Button

Each display can be configured to operate in reversionary mode, as follows:

•PFD1 – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audio panel.

•MFD – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audio panel.

•PFD2 – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audio panel.

Should the connection between PFD1 and GIA #1 or the MFD and GIA #2 become inoperative, the associated GIA 63W can no longer communicate with the remaining display(s) (refer to Figure 1-1). As a result, the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed display(s) by the associated GIA 63W are flagged (red “X”) as invalid (see Figure 1-12).

AHRS OPERATION

NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information.

NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering in any of the three reversionary modes listed inTable 1-1 can degradeAHRS accuracy.

In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77 AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. If either of these external measurements is unavailable or invalid, the AHRS uses air data information for attitude determination. Four AHRS modes of operation are available (see Figure 1-13)

GPS INPUT FAILURE

NOTE: 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 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.

AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE

A failure of the air data input has no effect on AHRS output while AHRS is operating in normal mode. A failure of the air data input while the AHRS is operating in reversionary No-GPS mode results in invalid attitude and heading information on the PFD (as indicated by red “X” flags).

ADDITIONAL HAZARD FLIGHT AUDIO PANEL FLIGHT SYSTEM INDEX APPENDICES FEATURES AFCS AVOIDANCE MANAGEMENT & CNS EIS INSTRUMENTS OVERVIEW

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

MAGNETOMETER FAILURE

If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS transitions to one of the reversionary No-Magnetometer modes and continues to output valid attitude information. However, if the aircraft is airborne, the heading output on the PFD does become invalid (as indicated by a red “X”).

G1000 SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS

NOTE: For a detailed description of all annunciations and alerts, refer to Appendix A. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations.

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.
