WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

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 Garmin G1000, as installed in Diamond DA40, DA40F and DA40D 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 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 Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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-navi- gational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.

CAUTION: 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.”

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G1000 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the G1000 Flight Manual Supplement. 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.

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.

CAUTION: The GDU 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 CONTAININGAMMONIAWILL HARMTHEANTIREFLECTIVE 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.

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.

NOTE: 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. Avoid the clusters to avoid the thunderstorms. In the cell display mode, even a single discharge point may represent thunderstorm activity and should therefore be avoided.

The G1000 uses the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):

GDU 1040 Primary Flight Display (PFD)

GDU 1040 Multi Function Display (MFD)

GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Units (IAU) - 2

GEA 71 Engine/Airframe Unit

GDC 74A Air Data Computer (ADC)

GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)

GMU 44 Magnetometer

GMA 1347 Audio Panel with integrated Marker Beacon Receiver

GTX 33 Mode S Transponder

GDL 69/69A Data Link

TheLRUsarefurtherdescribedinthefollowingsection. All LRUs are modular, which greatly eases troubleshooting andmaintenanceoftheG1000System. Atop-levelG1000 block diagram is given in Figure 1-1. Additional/optional equipment are shown in Figure 1-2.

NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for G1000 LRU specifications.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.2LRU DESCRIPTIONS

GDU 1040 – The GDU 1040s have 10.4-inch LCD displays with 1024 x 768 resolution. The left display is configured as a PFD and the right display is configured as a MFD. Both displays link and are used to show all functions of the G1000 System during flight. The displays communicate with each other through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection. Each display is also paired with an Ethernet connection to a GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Unit.

GMA1347–TheGMA 1347integratesNAV/COM digitalaudio,intercom,andmarkerbeaconcontrols. The Audio Panel also provides manual control of displayreversionarymode(usingtheredDISPLAY BACKUPbutton; see 1.7 SystemOperation) andis installedbetweentheMFDandthePFD.TheAudio Panel communicates with both IAUs using an RS232 digital interface.

1.6 DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING

NOTE:Refer to the Primary Flight Display section for instructions on manually adjusting the backlighting.

The G1000 PFD and MFD displays use photocell technology to automatically adjust for ambient lighting conditions. Photocellcalibrationcurvesarepre-configured to optimize display appearance through a broad range of cockpit lighting conditions. PFD, MFD, and Audio Panel bezel/key lighting are normally controlled directly by the existing instrument panel dimmer bus.

If desired, PFD and MFD display backlighting and PFD, MFD, and Audio Panel bezel/key brightness can also be adjusted manually. Audio Panel bezel/key brightness is directly tied to MFD bezel/key adjustment.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.7 SYSTEM OPERATION

NORMAL OPERATION

The PFD and MFD are connected together on a single Ethernet bus, allowing for high-speed communication between the two units. Each IAU is connected to a single display, as shown in Figure 1-1. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration.

In normal operating mode, the PFD displays graphical flight instrumentation in lieu of traditional gyro instruments. Attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed are all shown on one display (refer to the PFD section for more information). The MFD shows a full-color moving map with navigation information (refer to the MFD section for a complete discussion of MFD operation). Both displays offer control of COM and NAV frequency selection, as well as heading, course/baro, and altitude select functions. On the left of the MFD display, the Engine Indication System (EIS) cluster shows engine and airframe instrumentation (see the EIS section). The following figure shows an example of normal G1000 System operation.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

REVERSIONARY MODE

Should a failure occur in either display, the G1000 automatically enters reversionary mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is shown on the remainingdisplay. Figure1-7showsanexampleofG1000 reversionary mode where the PFD has failed.

If a display fails, the appropriate GIA 63-GDU 1040 Ethernet interface is cut off. Thus, the IAU can no longer communicate with the remaining display (refer to Figure 1-1), and the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed display by the IAU are flagged as invalid on the remaining display. The system reverts to backup paths for the AHRS, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and transponder, as required. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no pilot action is required.

NOTE: The system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Annunciations and Alerts section for further information regarding these and other system alerts.

If the system fails to detect a display problem, reversionary mode may be manually activated by pressing the Audio Panel’s red DISPLAY BACKUP button. Pressing this button again deactivates reversionary mode.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

AHRS MODES OF OPERATION

GPS Input Failure

The GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) performs attitude, heading, and vertical acceleration calculations for the G1000 System utilizing GPS, Magnetometer, and air data in addition to information from its internal sensors. Attitude and heading information are updated on the PFD while the AHRS receives appropriate combinations of information from the external sensor inputs (see Figure 1-8).

Loss of GPS, Magnetometer, or air data inputs is communicated to the pilot by message advisory alerts. Any failure of the internal AHRS inertial sensors results in loss of attitude and heading information (as indicated by red ‘X” flags over the corresponding flight instruments on the PFD).

NOTE: Refer to the Annunciations and Alerts section for specific AHRS alert information.

GPS

Two GPS inputs are provided to the AHRS. If GPS information from one of the inputs fails, the AHRS uses the remaining GPS input and an alert message is issued to inform the pilot. If both GPS inputs fail, the AHRS can continue to provide attitude and heading information to the PFD as long as Magnetometer and airspeed data are available and valid.

Magnetometer Failure

If the Magnetometer input fails, the AHRS continues to output valid attitude information; however, the heading output on the PFD is flagged as invalid with a red ‘X’.

Air Data Input Failure

Failure of the air data input has no effect on the AHRS output while AHRS is receiving valid GPS information. Invalid/unavailableairspeeddatainadditiontoGPSfailure results in loss of all attitude and heading information.

2.1 INTRODUCTION

WARNING:Intheeventthattheairspeed,attitude, altitude,orheadingindicationsbecomeunusable, please refer to the backup instruments.

This section describes the major features of the G1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) as installed on Diamond DA40, DA40F, and DA40D aircraft. Information is displayed using the G1000’s two 10.4-inch color flat-panel displays. During normal operation, the left display is configured as a Primary Flight Display.

The PFD provides increased situational awareness by replacing the traditional “six-pack” of instruments on the pilot’s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides a large horizon and airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed, navigation, communication, annunciation, terrain, traffic, and lightning (optional) information. The PFD also controls the operation of the transponder, the selection of NAV/COM frequencies, audio volume, and many navigation features. The operation of these features is explained in other supporting sections.

The G1000 system controls were designed so that, regardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated with the other hand.
