Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Quest Kodiak 100

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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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.

190-00645-00 Rev. A

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 Quest Kodiak 100 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 Quest Kodiak 100 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 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

SECTION 1

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 Pilot’s Guide for the Quest Kodiak 100 (190­00590-00):

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

NOTE: The pilot should read and thoroughly
understand the Quest Kodiak 100 Pilot’s
Operating Handbook (POH) for limitations,
procedures and operational information not
contained in this Cockpit Reference Guide. The
Quest Kodiak 100 POH always takes precedence
over the information found in this guide.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The same controls and keys are found on both PFDs

and the MFD.

(1) NAV VOL/ID Knob – Controls the NAV audio
level. Press to turn the Morse code identifier ON and OFF.
Volume level is shown in the field as a percentage.

(2) NAV Frequency Transfer Key – Switches 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 move 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.
(5) Joystick – Changes the map range (distance top to
bottom of map display) 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.
(7) Dual COM Knob – Tunes the MHz (large knob)
and kHz (small knob) standby frequencies for the COM
transceiver. Pressing this knob moves the tuning cursor
(light blue box) between the COM1 and COM2 fields.
(8) COM Frequency Transfer Key – Switches 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 pointer 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.
(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. This key selects IFR departure procedures
(DPs), arrival procedures (STARs) and approaches (IAPs)
from the database and loads them into the active flight
plan.
(16) ENT Key – Accepts a menu selection or data entry.
This key is used to approve an operation or complete data
entry. It is also used to confirm selections and information
entries.
(17) Dual ALT Knob – Sets the reference altitude in the

1.6 DATABASE UPDATES

Aviation Database Update

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.

1) With the G1000 System OFF, insert the aviation
database update SD card into the top card slot
of the PFD (Label of SD card facing left).

2) Turn the G1000 System ON. This prompt
is displayed on the upper left corner of the
PFD:

Figure 1-9 Database Update Prompt

3) Press the ENT Key to confirm the database
updated. This prompt is displayed:

7) Verify that the correct update cycle is loaded
during startup of the MFD.

Terrain and Obstacle Database Updates

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.

NOTE: Obstacles 200’ and higher are included in
the obstacle database. It is very important to note
that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and
therefore may not be contained in the obstacle
database.

These databases are not stored internally in the MFD
or PFD. Supplemental Data Cards containing identical
database versions must be kept in both displays to retain
terrain and obstacle data. A Supplemental Data Card
should be inserted into the bottom card slot of the PFD
and MFD.

Figure 1-10 Database Update Confirmation

4) After the update completes, the PFD starts in
normal mode. Remove the aviation database
update SD card from the PFD.

5) Turn the G1000 System OFF.

6) Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the MFD. The
MFD and PFD aviation databases are now
updated.

NOTE: If the pilot makes a heading change
greater than 105˚ with respect to the course, the
CDI switches to the opposite side of the deviation
scale and displays reverse sensing.

The Arc HSI is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass
rose. The Arc contains a course pointer arrow, the TO/
FROM indicator, a sliding deviation indicator (the TO/
FROM and sliding deviation indicators are one and the
same), and a deviation scale. Upon station passage,
the TO/FROM indicator flips and points to the tail of
the aircraft, just like the conventional TO/FROM flag.
