Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 58/G58

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: 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 Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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 nonnavigational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.

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 interface for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm penetration) is prohibited. Weather information on the G1000 MFD is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

WARNING: Use of the GDL 69 Weather Interface for hazardous weather penetration is prohibited. Weather information provided by the GDL 69 is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 58/G58

WARNINGS,

CAUTIONS, & NOTES

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 G1000, as installed in the Beechcraft 58/G58 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 Beechcraft 58/G58 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 Airman’s Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identiﬁed as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD and GDU 1043 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.

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 following documents:

• G1000 Primary Flight Display Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 VHF NAV/COM Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 Transponder Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 GMA 1347 Audio Panel Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 Engine Indication System Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 AFCS Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 Multi Function Display Pilot’s Guide

• G1000 Optional Equipment Pilot’s Guide

This guide gives the pilot abbreviated operating instructions for the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi Function Display (MFD), and the GMA 1347 Audio Panel System.

NOTE: The pilot should read and thoroughly understand the Beechcraft 58/G58 Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for limitations, procedures and operational information not contained in this Cockpit Reference Guide. The Beechcraft 58/G58 POH always takes precedence over the information found in this guide.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Functionality of the PFD and MFD controls are the same with the exception of the dedicated autopilot keys located only on the MFD bezel.

(1) NAV VOL/ID Knob – Controls the NAV audio level. Press to toggle the Morse code identiﬁer ON and OFF. Volume level is shown in the ﬁeld as a percentage. (2) NAV Frequency Toggle Key – Toggles the standby and active NAV frequencies. (3) Dual NAV Knob – Tunes the MHz (large knob) and kHz (small knob) standby frequencies for the NAV receiver. Press to toggle the tuning cursor (light blue box) between the NAV1 and NAV2 ﬁelds. (4) Heading Knob – Turn to manually select a heading on the HSI. When pressed, it synchronizes the heading bug with the compass lubber line. Selected Heading provides the heading reference to the Flight Director while operating in Heading Select mode. (5) Joystick – Changes the map range when rotated. Activates the map pointer when pressed. (6) CRS/BARO Knob – The large knob sets the altimeter barometric pressure and the

small knob adjusts the course. The course is only adjustable when the HSI is in VOR1, VOR2, or OBS/SUSP mode. Pressing this knob centers the CDI on the currently selected VOR.

Selected Course provides course reference to the Flight Director when operating in Navigation and Approach modes. (7) Dual COM Knob – Tunes the MHz (large knob) and kHz (small knob) standby frequencies for the COM transceiver. Pressing this knob toggles the tuning cursor (light blue box) between the COM1 and COM2 ﬁelds. (8) COM Frequency Toggle Key – Toggles the standby and active COM frequencies. Pressing and holding this key for two seconds automatically tunes the emergency frequency (121.5 MHz) in the active frequency ﬁeld. (9) COM VOL/SQ Knob – Controls COM audio level. Pressing this knob turns the COM automatic squelch ON and OFF. Audio volume level is shown in the ﬁeld as a percentage.

(10) Direct-to Key – Allows the user to enter a destination waypoint and establish a direct course to the selected destination (speciﬁed by the identiﬁer, chosen from the active route, or taken from the map cursor position). (11) FPL Key – Displays the active Flight Plan Page for creating and editing the active ﬂight plan, or for accessing stored ﬂight plans. (12) CLR Key (DFLT MAP) – Erases information, cancels an entry, or removes page menus. To display the Navigation Map Page immediately, press and hold CLR (MFD only). (13) Dual FMS Knob – Used to select the page to be viewed (only on the MFD). The large knob selects a page group (MAP, WPT, AUX, NRST), while the small knob selects a speciﬁc page within the page group. Pressing the small knob turns the selection cursor ON and OFF. When the cursor is ON, data may be entered in the different windows using the small and large knobs. The large knob is used to move the cursor on the page, while the small knob is used to select individual characters for the highlighted cursor location. When the G1000 displays a list that is too long for the display screen, a scroll bar appears along the right side of the display, indicating the availability of additional items within the selected category. Press the FMS/PUSH CRSR knob to activate the cursor and turn the large FMS knob to scroll through the list. (14) MENU Key – Displays a context-sensitive list of options. This list allows the user to access additional features, or to make setting changes that relate to certain pages. (15) PROC Key – Selects approaches, departures and arrivals from the ﬂight plan. If a ﬂight plan is used, available procedures for the departure and/or arrival airport are automatically suggested. If a ﬂight plan is not used, the desired airport and the desired procedure may be selected.

SECTION 6: AUTOMATIC FLIGHT

CONTROL

In addition to the AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System) keys on the MFD, as discussed in the System Overview section, the following buttons and switches used by the AFCS are located in the cockpit separately from the PFD and MFD.

SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC

FLIGHT CONTROL

• AP DISC (Autopilot Disconnect) Button — Located on the pilot’s control wheel, pressing this button disengages the autopilot. Pressing it also acknowledges an autopilot disconnect.

• CWS (Control Wheel Steering) Button — Located on the pilot’s control wheel, pressing and holding the CWS button disengages the control surface servos without disengaging the autopilot. If the ﬂight director has not been activated, pressing the CWS button will activate the ﬂight director in the default pitch and roll hold modes.

• GA (Go Around) Button — Located on the instrument panel, the GA button disengages the autopilot and selects the Go Around Pitch and Roll (wings level) modes.

• MET (Manual Electric Trim) Switch — This switch is used to operate manual electric pitch trim. Moving both switches forward simultaneously trims the aircraft nose down. Moving both switches aft simultaneously trims the aircraft nose up. The left switch is the ARM contact and the right switch controls the up/down trim. Pressing the ARM switch disengages the autopilot, if currently engaged. If one side of the switch is active for more than three seconds without the other side also being active, ‘PTRM’ is displayed in the AFCS System Status ﬁeld on the PFD. Pressing the MET ARM switch also acknowledges an autopilot disconnect.

Figure 6-1 AFCS Keys

Pressing the FD key activates only the ﬂight director in the default Pitch Hold/Roll modes without engaging the autopilot. Pressing the AP key activates the ﬂight director and yaw damper, and engages the autopilot. When only the ﬂight director is engaged, pressing the FD key disengages the ﬂight director.

Upon activation of the autopilot and/or ﬂight director, command bars are displayed on the PFD. If the attitude information being sent to the ﬂight director becomes invalid or unavailable, the command bars are removed from the display.

FLIGHT CONTROL

Automatic Disengagement

Automatic disengagement typically occurs due to a failure. Automatic disengagement is annunciated by a ﬂashing ‘AP’, alternating red on white and white on red in the Autopilot Status ﬁeld. Also, the autopilot disconnect aural alert will be heard. Both the annunciation and the aural alert will continue until acknowledged by pressing the AP DISC button or the MET ARM switch. The Yaw Damper may or may not disengage, depending on the cause of the automatic AP disengagement.

Automatic Disconnect

Figure 6-6 Automatic Disconnect Annunciation

Manual Disengagement

The autopilot may also be manually disengaged by pressing the AP DISC button, the

GA button, the

MET ARM switch, or by pressing the AP key on the MFD.

Manual disengagement is annunciated by a ﬁve-second ﬂashing yellow ‘AP’ in the Autopilot Status ﬁeld and by a two-second Autopilot disconnect aural alert. The Yaw Damper will also disengage with the autopilot.

Manual Disconnect

Figure 6-7 Manual Disconnect Annunciation

Control Wheel Steering

Pressing and holding the CWS button disengages the servos from the ﬂight control surfaces and allows manual manuevering of the aircraft. At the same time, the ﬂight director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the maneuver. The ‘AP’ annunciation is temporarily replaced by ‘CWS’ in white until the CWS button is released.

6.4 LOSS OF DATA

In general, a ﬂashing yellow mode annunciation indicates either the loss of sensor data (AHRS, ADC, or GIA) or loss of navigation data (VOR, LOC, or GPS) required to compute commands.

When such a loss occurs, the system automatically reverts to the default mode for the affected axis (ROL for roll axis, PIT for pitch axis). The ﬂashing annunciation stops when the pilot presses the affected mode button or selects another mode for the axis. If no pilot action is taken, the ﬂashing annunciation stops after ten seconds.

NEXRAD Limitations

Certain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar

displays. Some, but not all, are listed here:

• NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide sufﬁcient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (hail vs. rain, etc).

• An individual NEXRAD site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has no information about storms directly over the site.

• The resolution of displayed NEXRAD data is 2 kilometers. Therefore, when zoomed in on the display, each square block is 2 kilometers. The intensity level reﬂected by the square will be the highest level sampled within the 2 kilometer square area.

ECHO TOP – press the ECHO TOP softkey to

Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA)

The Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance alert is

composed of two sub-functions:

Reduced Required Terrain Clearance (RTC) and Reduced Required Obstacle Clearance (

ROC)

This provides alerts when the aircraft ﬂight path is above terrain and/or obstacles, yet is projected to come within minimum clearance values outlined in the following table. When an RTC or ROC alert is issued, a potential impact point is displayed on the TAWS Page as a yellow or red ‘X’.

Imminent Terrain Impact (

ITI) and Imminent

Obstacle Impact (IOI)

This provides alerts when the aircraft is below the elevation of terrain in the aircraft’s projected path. ITI and IOI alerts are accompanied by a potential impact point displayed on the TAWS Page as a yellow or red ‘X’. The alert is given when the projected vertical ﬂight path is calculated to come within minimum clearance altitudes in the following table.

Phase of Flight Level Flight Descending

Enroute 700 ft. 500 ft.

Terminal 350 ft. 300 ft.

Approach 150 ft. 100 ft.

Departure 100 ft. 100 ft.

During the ﬁnal approach phase of ﬂight, RTC/ROC/ ITI/IOI alerts are automatically inhibited when the aircraft is below 200 feet AGL while within 0.5 nm of the approach runway or is below 125 feet AGL while within 1 nm of the runway.

Premature Descent Alert (PDA)

A Premature Descent Alert is issued when the system detects that the aircraft is signiﬁcantly below the normal approach path to a runway. The PDA alert mode functions only during descent to land. There are three different scenarios to consider with PDA:

• No Approach Loaded - PDA alerting begins when the aircraft is within 15 nm of the destination airport and ends when the aircraft is either 0.5 nm from the runway threshold OR is at an altitude of 125 feet

the ﬁnal descent, algorithms will set a threshold for alerting based on speed, distance, and other parameters.

• Non-Precision Approach Loaded - PDA alerting begins when the FAF is the active waypoint AND the aircraft is within 15 nm of the destination airport. Again, algorithms are used to set a threshold for alerting based upon various parameters. PDA alerting ends at 0.5 nm from the runway threshold OR at an altitude of 125 feet AGL while within 1 nm of the threshold.

• ILS Approach Loaded—PDA alerting begins when the FAF is the active waypoint AND the aircraft is within 15 nm of the destination airport. Prior to reaching the FAF, a PDA alert will be issued if the aircraft descends 200 feet below the FAF altitude. Once the aircraft intercepts the glideslope, PDA will alert the pilot if the aircraft descends 0.7 degrees below the glideslope. PDA alerting ends 0.5 nm from the runway threshold OR at an altitude of 125 feet AGL while within 1 nm of the threshold.

Excessive Descent Rate Alert (EDR)

The purpose of the Excessive Descent Rate alert is to provide suitable alerts when the aircraft is determined to be closing (descending) upon terrain at an excessive speed. Figure 10-22 displays the correlation between height above terrain and descent rate, resulting in the two EDR alerts. EDR alerts have two levels of severity, caution (sink rate) and warning (pull-up).

Negative Climb Rate After Takeoff Alert (NCR)

The purpose of the Negative Climb Rate After Takeoff alert is to provide suitable alerts to the pilot when the system determines that the aircraft is losing altitude (closing upon terrain) after takeoff. The aural message “Don’t Sink” is given for NCR alerts, accompanied by an annunciation and a pop-up terrain alert on the display.

“Five-Hundred” Aural Alert

The purpose of the aural alert message “Five-hundred” is to provide an advisory alert to the aircrew that the aircraft is ﬁve-hundred feet above terrain. When the aircraft descends within 500 feet of terrain, the aural message “Five-hundred” is heard. There are no display annunciations or pop-up alerts that accompany the aural message.
