WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES
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 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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 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: 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: GDL 69 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.

WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES
WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Columbia 350/400 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 Columbia 350/400 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.”
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 anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the G1000 within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 70° North latitude and south of 70° South latitude. An area north of 65° North latitude between longitude 75º West and 120º West. An area south of 55° South latitude between longitude 120º East and 165º East.
CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD and GDU 1042 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.

WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES
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: When using Stormscope, 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.
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: 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 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

SECTION 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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 complete system are found in the G1000 Columbia 350/400 Pilot’s Guide (190-00552-01):
This guide gives the pilot abbreviated operating instructions for the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi Function Display (MFD), GCU 476 MFD/PFD Control Unit, and the GMA 1347 Audio Panel System.
NOTE: The pilot should read and thoroughly understand the Columbia 350/400 Airplan Flight Manual (AFM) for limitations, procedures and operational information not contained in this Cockpit Reference Guide. The Columbia 350/400 AFM always takes precedence over the information found in this guide.
NOTE: Speed ranges and V-speeds shown in this guide are for example only. Refer to the AFM for values pertaining to the Columbia 350 and Columbia 400.

1.6 VERTICAL NAVIGATION

In WAAS capable installations, one of two altitude sources is used by the G1000 when giving vertical navigation guidance. WAAS GPS altitude is used when giving guidance for a WAAS approach. Baro corrected altitude is used when vertical guidance is given in all other situations and in non-WAAS systems.
The G1000 system can use altitude constraints associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for vertical navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the specific instance, entered by the pilot or retrieved from the published altitudes in the navigation database.
The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes. If the procedure states “Expect to cross at,” then the altitude will not be in the database. In this case the altitude may be entered manually.
NOTE: All arrival procedure altitudes contained in the navigation database are for turbojet aircraft only. Alter or enter altitudes as desired to comply with the ATC clearance.
When activating or loading an arrival or approach procedure into an active flight plan, the VNV ‘ALT’ fields will be populated with any altitudes that can be retrieved from the navigation database.
Since altitudes loaded with an arrival procedure are published only for turbojet aircraft, the altitudes are displayed as white text indicating that the altitudes are displayed for reference only. An arrival waypoint altitude may be used (or “designated”) as is, or changed to a different altitude. An altitude is designated by pressing the FMS Knob and turning the large FMS Knob to place the cursor on the desired altitude and pressing the ENT Key or
entering a different value and pressing the ENT Key. The altitude will now be displayed as light blue text, indicating that the altitude is now designated to give vertical speed and deviation guidance.
Approach waypoint altitude constraints are automatically designated for use when the approach is loaded. These altitudes will be displayed as light blue text indicating the altitudes will be used in vertical guidance calculations. Waypoint altitude constraints may be designated up to, but not including the FAF. The FAF will always be a “reference only” altitude and cannot be designated, unless the selected approach does not provide vertical guidance. In this case, the FAF altitude can be designated.
Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical guidance may also be made “non-designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing the CLR Key. Other displayed altitudes may change due to re-calculations or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an altitude to a non-designated altitude.
To help interpret the meanings of how the altitudes are presented, keep the following points in mind:
• When the altitude is displayed in light blue, the system is using that altitude (designated) to determine vertical speed and deviation guidance.
• When the altitude is displayed in white, it is not being used by the system (non-designated) to determine the vertical speed and deviation guidance.
• An altitude displayed as small text is an altitude that is published in the navigation database.
• Altitudes displayed as a light blue subdued text cannot be used in the current vertical navigation calculations.

1.8 DATABASE UPDATES

The G1000 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen aviation and ChartView database updates.
The following procedures pertain to updating the G1000 system with SD cards as outlined in Appendix B of the G1000 Columbia 350/400 Pilot’s Guide.

Jeppesen Aviation Database

NOTE: After the aviation database is installed, the card may be removed after loading the update to each LRU.
Updating the Jeppesen aviation database:
1)
With the G1000 System OFF, insert the SD card containing the aviation database update into the top card slot of the PFD to be updated (Label of SD card facing left).
2)
Turn the G1000 System ON. A prompt similar to the following is displayed in the upper left corner of the PFD:
1-14
Figure 1-11 PFD Setup Menu Window
Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Columbia 350/400
Figure 1-12 Database Update Prompt
3)
Press the ENT Key to start the database update. A prompt similar to the following is displayed:
190-00567-01 Rev. A
Figure 1-13 Database Update Confirmation
4)
After the update completes, the PFD starts in normal mode.
5)
Turn the G1000 System OFF and remove the SD card.
6)
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the MFD. The MFD and PFD databases are now updated. Remove the SD card when finished.
SECTION 1
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1)
Insert one SD card in the bottom card slot of the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of the PFD. The SD card containing the ChartView or FliteCharts database must be inserted into the bottom slot on the MFD.
2)
Apply power to the G1000 System. View the MFD power-up splash screen. Check that the databases are initialized and displayed on the scrolling window of the splash screen. When updating the terrain and FliteCharts databases, an ‘in progress’ message may be seen. If this message is present, wait for the system to finish loading before verifying the correct databases are initialized, then proceed to step 3.
7)
Verify that the correct update cycle is loaded during startup of the MFD.

Garmin Databases

Since these databases are not stored internally in the MFD or PFD, a Supplemental Data Card containing identical database versions must be kept in each display unit.
NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
