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 Cessna Nav III 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 ensurethatitsinformationremainscurrent. Updatesarereleasedevery28days. Adatabaseinformation packet is included in the G1000 package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for navigation,but rather only for nonnavigational 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 Airman’s Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

CAUTION:TheUnitedStatesgovernmentoperatestheGlobalPositioningSystemandissolelyresponsible 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. 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 1040 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, lintfree cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

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.

System Overview

1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

This document is designed to provide an overview of the G1000 Integrated Cockpit System as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft.

The G1000 system includes the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):

GDU 1040 Primary Flight Display (PFD)

GDU 1040 Multi Function Display (MFD)

GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Units (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 System with integrated Marker Beacon Receiver

GTX 33 Mode-S Transponder

GDL 69/69A Data Link

The LRUs are further described in the following section. All LRUs have a modular design, which greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance of the G1000 system. A top-level G1000 block diagram is given in Figure 1-1. Additional or optional interfaces are depicted in Figure 1-2.

NOTE: Please refer to the Pilot’s Guide Appendices for detailed specifications regarding the G1000 LRUs.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.2LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS

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

GMA1347–TheGMA1347AudioPanelintegrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.6 DISPLAY 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. The PFD, MFD, and Audio Panel bezel/key lighting is normally controlled directly by the existing instrument panel dimmer bus.

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

NOTE:PleaserefertothePrimaryFlightDisplay Pilot’s Guide for instructions on adjusting backlighting manually.

1.7 SYSTEM OPERATION

NORMAL MODE

The PFD and MFD are connected together on a single Ethernet bus, allowing for high-speed communication between the two units. Each GIA 63 is connected to a single display, as shown in Figure 1-1. This allows the units to share information, thus enabling true system integration.

In normal operating mode, the PFD displays graphical flight instrumentation in lieu of the traditional gyro instruments. Attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude and vertical speed are all shown on one display. The MFD shows a full-color moving map with navigation information. BothdisplaysoffercontrolforCOMandNAV frequencyselection,aswellasfortheheading,course/baro and altitude reference functions. On the left of the MFD display, the Engine Indication System (EIS) cluster shows engine and airframe instrumentation. Figure 1-6 gives an example of the G1000 system in normal mode.

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for Cessna Nav III

190-00498-00 Rev.A

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 remaining display. An example of reversionary mode entry due to a failed PFD is shown in Figure 1-7.

If a display fails, the GIA 63-GDU 1040 Ethernet interface is cut off. Thus, the GIA 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 GIA are flagged as invalid on the remaining display, as a result. The system reverts to using backup paths for the GRS 77, GDC 74A, GEA 71 and GTX 33, as required. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs, and no pilot action is required.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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

Reversionary mode may also be manually activated by the pilot if the system fails to detect a display problem. Reversionary mode is activated manually by pressing the redDISPLAYBACKUPbuttonatthebottomoftheAudio Panel. Pressing this button again deactivates reversionary mode.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

AHRS OPERATION

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 (primary) 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 table below) and depend upon the combination of available sensor inputs. Loss of air data, GPS, or magnetometer sensor inputs is communicated to the pilot by message advisory alerts.

GPS Input Failure

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/primary 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).

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, the heading output on the PFD does become invalid (as indicated by a red ‘X’).

NOTE: Please refer to the Annunciations and Alerts Pilot’s Guide for specific AHRS alert information.

NOTE: Pilots should be aware that aggressive maneuvering in any of the three reversionary modes listed below can degrade AHRS accuracy.
