Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use the terrain avoidance feature as the sole means of
navigation and terrain separation. The terrain avoidance feature is only to
be used as and aid to terrain avoidance. Garmin obtains terrain database
content from third party sources and is not able to independently verify the
accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as
the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. The displayed
minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature. Always refer to
current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: Do not use GPS-derived geometric altitude for compliance with air
traffic control altitude requirements in the National Airspace System (NAS) or
internationally. The primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance
with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements, instructions, and
clearance.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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.

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 only an aid to
enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for
collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision
avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or
conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.

WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to
accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack
of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from
aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on
the display.

190-01460-00 Rev. A

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data
link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather
product age.

WARNING: Do not rely on information from the lightning detection system
display as the sole basis for hazard weather avoidance. Range limitations
and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete
information. Refer to the documentation from the lightning detection system
manufacturer for detailed information about the system.

WARNING: The Garmin system, as installed in this 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.

WARNING: Do not use the system until carefully reviewing, and gaining
a thorough understanding of all aspects of the system’s Pilot’s Guide
documentation and the Airplane Flight Manual. Do not attempt to learn
system operational procedures while the aircraft is in the air. For safety
reasons, system 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 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.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer

190-01460-00 Rev. A

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Airplane
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: Do not use the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm.
The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding any thunderstorm identified as severe of giving
intense radar echo by at least 20 miles.

WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product 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.

190-01460-00 Rev. A

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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 ANTI­REFLECTIVE 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 anti­reflective 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.

NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena
in addition to nearby thunderstorm 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 cleaned.

NOTE: Do not rely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight
Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official
sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect
the most current system and databases. 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.

NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies
related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form
of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or
any other displayed item used for navigation or communication if the air or
on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select Aviation Data Error Report.

NOTE: 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 system are found
in the G1000 Pilot’s Guide for this aircraft.

NOTE: Fuel calculations do not use the aircraft fuel quantity indicators and
are calculated from the last time the fuel was reset.

Fuel used (GAL USED), endurance (ENDUR), range (in nautical miles, RANGE
NM), and fuel efficiency (in nautical miles per gallon, NMPG) are calculated based on
the displayed fuel remaining (GAL REM) and the fuel flow totalizer. The calculated

Nav/Com/

range also takes into account the aircraft’s heading and the wind direction and speed.

XPDR/AudioGPS Nav

Adjusting the fuel totalizer quantity:

On the Engine Page, use the DEC FUEL and INC FUEL softkeys to obtain
the desired fuel remaining (GAL REM).

Flight

Resetting the fuel totalizer:

PlanningProcedures

On the Engine Page, press the RST FUEL Softkey; this resets displayed fuel
remaining (GAL REM) to the maximum fuel capacity for the aircraft and fuel
used to zero. Pressing the TABS Softkey resets the fuel remaining quantity
to the filler neck tabs quantity.

A map feature related to the EIS Fuel Calculations is the Fuel Range Ring, which
graphically illustrates the aircraft’s remaining range based on the endurance (ENDUR),
heading, groundspeed, and wind direction and speed. The solid green circle represents
the range until all the remaining fuel is depleted. The dashed green circle indicates
the aircraft range until only reserve fuel remains. Once on reserve fuel, the range is
indicated by a solid yellow circle.

The Fuel Range Ring shifts position in relation to the aircraft according to wind
effects. For example, more fuel is required for flying into a headwind, and the aircraft’s
decreased range in that direction is indicated by the Fuel Range Ring shifting toward
the tail of the Aircraft Symbol.
