Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon
the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance 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 avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for
terrain avoidance. 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 the 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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 system displays 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 69A is approved only

for weather avoidance, not penetration.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40NG

190-00953-00 Rev. A

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: Use of the Stormscope is not intended for hazardous weather
penetration (thunderstorm penetration). Stormscope information, as
displayed on the G1000 MFD, is to be used only for weather avoidance, not
penetration.

WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Diamond DA40NG
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
Diamond DA40NG Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). 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.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40NG

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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.”

WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may contain mercury (HG) and must
be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For
more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/aboutGarmin/
environment/disposal.jsp.

WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the
system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and
heading indications. North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes. South of
70° South latitude at all longitudes. North of 65° North latitude between
longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North latitude
between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North
latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia). South of
55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of
Australia and New Zealand).

WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as
a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are
derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.

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 ANTI­REFLECTIVE 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 anti­reflective 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: 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 yards away from the
source of the interference should alleviate the condition.

NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim
or blank.

NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot
a resource with which to find operating 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 system are found
in the G1000 Pilot’s Guide for this aircraft.

DEAD RECKONING

AlertsAppendixIndex

Annun/

While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the G1000 detects an invalid GPS
solution or is unable to calculate a GPS position, the system automatically reverts to
Dead Reckoning (DR) Mode. In DR Mode, the G1000 uses its last-known position
combined with continuously updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to
calculate and display the aircraft’s current estimated position.

52

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40NG

190-00953-00 Rev. A

Abnormal Operation

NOTE: Dead Reckoning Mode only functions in Enroute (ENR) or Oceanic
(OCN) phase of flight. In all other phases, an invalid GPS solution produces
a “NO GPS POSITION” annunciation on the map and the G1000 stops
navigating in GPS Mode.

DR Mode is indicated on the G1000 by the appearance of the letters ‘DR’

superimposed in yellow over the ‘own aircraft’ symbol as shown in the following

gure.Inaddition,‘DR’isprominentlydisplayed,alsoinyellow,ontheHSIslightly

above and to the right of the aircraft symbol on the CDI as shown in the following

gure.Also,theCDIdeviationbarisremovedfromthedisplay.Lastly,butatthesame

time, a ‘GPS NAV LOST’ alert message appears on the PFD.

Normal navigation using GPS/WAAS source data resumes automatically once a

valid GPS solution is restored.

It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the G1000 in
DR Mode may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means
of navigation. If, while in DR Mode, airspeed and/or heading data is also lost or
not available, the DR function may not be capable of estimating your position and,
consequently, the system may display a path that is different than the actual movement
of the aircraft. Estimated position information displayed by the G1000 through
DR while there is no heading and/or airspeed data available should not be used for
navigation.

DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/WAAS Mode due to the
lack of satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed
and/or wind direction compounds the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this
degraded accuracy, the crew must maintain position awareness using other navigation
equipment until GPS-derived position data is restored.

– <message>. Message criteria entered by the user.

A data path connected to the GDU or the GIA
63/W has failed.

The GDU’s internal model cannot determine
the exact magnetic variance for geographic
locations near the magnetic poles. Displayed
magnetic course angles may differ from the
actual magnetic heading by more than 2°.

Synthetic Vision is disabled because the aircraft
is not within the boundaries of the installed
terrain database.

Synthetic Vision is disabled because a terrain
database of sufficient resolution (9 arc-second
or better) is not currently installed.
