WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND 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 the GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74B Air Data Computer, or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the 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 Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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.

WARNING: Do not use datalink weather products (e.g., XM WX Satellite Weather, GFDS World Wide Weather, or FIS-B) for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information provided by these products is aged by up to several minutes and may not depict actual weather conditions as they currently appear.

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: The Garmin G1000H, as installed in the Bell 407GX helicopter, 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 system. 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, system operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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 system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system 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 G1000H Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Bell 407GX Rotorcraft Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the system 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 system 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 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.

CAUTION: The system 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

•GDU 1040H (2) – One unit is configured as a PFD, the other as an MFD, each featuring a 10.4-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution. The unit installed on the right/pilot side is designated as the PFD, and the one installed on the left/copilot side is designated as the MFD. These units communicate with each other and with the onside GIA 63H Integrated Avionics Unit through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.

•GIA 63H (2) – Functions as the main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the on-side PFD. Each GIA 63H contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a flight director (FD) and system integration microprocessors. Each GIA 63W is paired with a respective GDU 1040H via HSDB connection. The GIA 63Hs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.

•GDC 74H (1) – Processes data from the pitot/static system as well as the OAT probe. This unit provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed and OAT information to the G1000H system, and it communicates with the each GIA 63H, GDU 1040H and GRS 77H, using an ARINC 429 digital interface (it also interfaces directly with the GTP 59). The GDC 74H is designed to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace.

•GEA 71H (1) – Receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. This unit communicates with both GIA 63Hs using an RS-485 digital interface.

1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP

NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations.

NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts.

NOTE: See the Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation.

The G1000H system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The G1000H PFD, MFD and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs and outputs to provide safe operation.

During system initialization, test annunciations are displayed, as shown in Figure 1-7. ALTN is also displayed on the Power Situation Indicator and Torque will be marked QA. All system annunciations should disappear typically within one minute of power-up at nomal temperature, but may take as long as 10 minutes at cold temperatures. Upon power-up, key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the audio panels, the control units and the display bezels.

On the PFD, the AHRS begins to initialize and displays ‘AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level’. The AHRS should display valid attitude and heading fields typically within one minute of power-up. The AHRS can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight.

When the MFD powers up (Figure 1-6), the MFD Power-up Page displays the following information:

• System version	• Obstacle database name and version
• Copyright	• Navigation database name, version, and effective dates
• Land database name and version	• Airport Directory name, version and effective dates
• Safe Taxi database information	• FliteCharts/ChartView database information
• Terrain database name and version	• Pilot Profile selection
• Airport Terrain database name and version

Current database information includes the valid operating dates, cycle number and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Pressing the ENT Key acknowledges this information and displays the Auxiliary (AUX) Weight Planning Page.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION

NOTE: In normal operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD. In reversionary mode, it can be adjusted from the remaining display.

The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. 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.. This section discusses normal and reversionary G1000H display operation, as well as the various AHRS modes and G1000H System Annunciations.

NORMAL DISPLAY OPERATION

In normal operating mode, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed), replacing the traditional flight instrument cluster (see the Flight Instruments Section for more information). The Power Situation Indicator and CAS messages are also displayed on the PFD.

The MFD normally displays a full-color moving map with navigation information (see the Flight Management Section), while the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (EICAS; see the EICAS Section).

Both displays offer control for COM and NAV frequency selection.

Figure 1-8 Normal Mode

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION

NOTE: The G1000H System alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to Appendix A for further information regarding system-specific alerts.

In the event of a display failure, the G1000H System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode.

If a display fails, the appropriate IAU Ethernet interface to the display 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.

Figure 1-9 Reversionary Mode

If the system fails to detect a display problem, Reversionary Mode may be manually activated by pressing the red DU BACKUP Button on the instrument panel. Pressing this button again deactivates Reversionary Mode.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

AHRS OPERATION

NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information.

NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while the AHRS is not operating normally can degrade AHRS accuracy.

In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77H AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. In Heading Preset Mode, the magnetometer data is replaced by a heading value set by the pilot. 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 Figure 1-10) 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.

Figure 1-10 AHRS Operation

GPS INPUT FAILURE

The G1000H 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.

14

Garmin G1000H™ Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX

190-01255-00 Rev. B

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE

A failure of the air data input has no effect on AHRS output while AHRS is operating in normal 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, if the aircraft is airborne, the heading output on the PFD does become invalid (as indicated by a red “X”).

G1000H SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS

NOTE: For a detailed description of all annunciations and alerts, refer to Appendix A. Refer to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations.

When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red “X” is typically displayed on windows associated with the failed data (Figure 1-11 displays all possible flags and responsible LRUs). Upon G1000H power-up, certain windows remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize. If any window remains flagged, the G1000H system should be serviced by a Garmin-authorized repair facility.
