APPENDIX A
SD CARD USE
The G1000 system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to
load and store various types of data. For basic flight op
erations, SD cards are required for terrain database storage
as well as aviation database updates.
AVIATION DATABASE
Jeppesen aviation databases are released every 28 days,
and are provided directly to the pilot by Jeppesen. Up
dates must be loaded to both the MFD and PFD using an
aviation database update SD card provided by Jeppesen.
The card reader downloads the aviation database files and
stores them in the PFD and MFD internal memory.
NOTE: The display downloads the aviation
database and stores it internally. The aviation
database SD card is not required to remain in
the display after the update.
To update the Jeppesen aviation database:
1. With the G1000 system off, insert the aviation
database update SD card into the top card slot
on PFD (Label of SD card facing left).
-
-
4. After the update completes, the PFD starts in
normal mode. Remove the aviation database
update SD card from the PFD.
5. Power the G1000 system down.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the MFD. The
MFD and PFD aviation databases are now
updated.
7. Verify that the correct update cycle and version
is loaded during startup of the MFD.
TERRAIN DATABASE
G1000 topography and terrain data are stored on an
SD card provided by Garmin. Since this database is not
downloaded internally to the MFD or PFD, a terrain SD
card must be kept in both displays in order to retain terrain and topography data. A terrain card should be inserted into the bottom card slot of the PFD and MFD.
NOTE: If the terrain SD card is removed from the
display, the TOPO and TERRAIN softkeys are not
functional and are grayed out on the MFD Map
Page.
2. Turn the G1000 system on. The following
prompt is displayed in the upper left corner of
the PFD:
3. Press the ENT key to confirm the database
update. The following prompt is displayed:

Navigation Term Definition Navigation Term Definition
Bearing The compass direction from your present
position to a destination waypoint.
Calibrated Airpseed Indicated airspeed corrected for installation
and instrument errors.
Course The line between two points to be followed
by the aircraft.
Course to Steer The recommended direction to steer in order
to reduce course error or stay on course.
Provides the most efficient heading to get
back to the desired course and proceed along
your flight plan.
Crosstrack Error The distance the aircraft is off a desired
course in either direction, left or right.
Cumulative The total of all legs in a flight plan.
Distance The ‘great circle’ distance from your present
position to a destination waypoint.
Dillution of Precision A measure of GPS satellite geometry quality
on a scale of one to ten (lower numbers
equal better geometry, where higher numbers
equal poorer geometry)
Desired Track The desired course between the active
“from” and “to” waypoints.
Efficiency A measure of fuel consumption, expressed in
distance per unit of fuel.
Endurance Flight endurance, or total possible flight time
based on available fuel on board.
Enroute Safe Altitude The recommended minimum altitude within
ten miles left or right of the desired course on
an active flight plan or direct-to.
Estimated Position Error A measure of horizontal GPS position error
derrived by satellite geometry conditions and
other factors.
Estimated Time of Arrival The estimated time at which the aircraft
should reach the destination waypoint, based
upon current speed and track.
Estimated Time Enroute The estimeated time it takes to reach the
destination waypoint from the present posi
tion, based upon current groundspeed.
Fuel Flow The fuel flow rate, expressed in units of fuel
per hour.
Fuel On Board The total amount of usable fuel on board the
aircraft.
Groundspeed The velocity that the aircraft is travelling
relative to a ground position.
Heading The direction an aircraft is pointed, based
upon indications from a magnetic compass or
a properly set directional gyro.
Indicated Information provided by properly calibrated
and set instrumentation on the aircraft panel.
Leg The portion of a flight plan between two
waypoints.
Left Over Fuel On Board The amount of fuel remaining on board after
the completion of one or more legs of a flight
plan or direct-to.
Left Over Fuel Reserve The amount of flight time remaining, based
on the amount of fuel on board after the
completion of one or more legs of a flight
plan or direct-to, and a known consumption
rate.
Minimum Safe Altitude Uses Grid Minimum Off-Route Altitudes (Grid
MORAs) to determine a safe altitude within
ten miles of the aircraft present position.
Grid MORAs are one degree latitude by one
degree longitude in size. The Grid MORA
clears the highest elevation reference point in
the grid by 1000 feet for all areas of the grid.
Track The direction of aircraft movement relative
to a ground position. Also referred to as
‘Ground Track’.
Track Angle Error The angle difference between the desired
track and your current track.
Vertical Speed Required The vertical speed necessary to descend/climb
from a current position and altitude to a
defined target position and altitude, based
upon current groundspeed.
