Warnings, Cautions & 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 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 74B Air Data Computer,
or other altimeters in the 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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: 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.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 200/B200 Series

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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.

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 hazardous 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: 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.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 200/B200 Series

190-00929-04 Rev. A

Warnings, Cautions & 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 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
G1000 Integrated Avionics System in the Airplane Flight Manual. 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: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned
on the ground.

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: 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 (GRS 77 installations only). 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).

190-00929-04 Rev. A

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 200/B200 Series

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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 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 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: 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 and aviation 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.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 200/B200 Series

190-00929-04 Rev. A

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim
or blank.

NOTE: When operating the G1000 in DG Free Mode (GRS 7800 installations
only), the heading information used by some system components (e.g. GTS
8000, AFCS, and GWX) will be different from the heading displayed on the
GDU by an amount equal to the difference between the current Magnetic
Field Variation Database (MV DB) value, and the MV DB value when DG Free
Mode was activated. Due to the convergence of isogonic lines, this condition
is most noticeable at or near the North and South poles.

NOTE: System navigation utilities may not reliably calculate range and
bearing information when the aircraft is operating north of 80° North latitude
or south of 80° South latitude. This may result in the system displaying small
gaps in racetrack holding pattern depictions (GRS 7800 installations only).

NOTE: The Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) may not operate
reliably north of 89º North latitude and south of 89º South latitude. This is
due to limitations present within the Terrain database and the system’s ability
to process the data representing the affected areas (GRS 7800 installations
only).

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.

SUSPECTED AUTOPILOT MALFUNCTION

Flight

Instruments

NOTE: Consult the aircraft documentation for the location of circuit breakers
as well as specifics that may supplement or amplify this procedure.

Nav/Com/

If an autopilot failure or trim failure is suspected to have occurred, perform the

XPDR/AudioAFCSGPS Nav

following steps:

1)

Firmly grasp the control wheel.

2)

Press and hold the AP DISC Switch. The autopilot will disconnect and
power is removed from the trim motor. Power is also removed from all
primary servo motors and engaged solenoids. Note the visual and aural
alerting indicating autopilot disconnect.

3)

Retrim the aircraft as needed. Substantial trim adjustment may be needed.

4)

Pull the appropriate circuit breaker(s) to electrically isolate the servo and

solenoid components.

5)

Release the AP DISC Switch.

OVERPOWERING AUTOPILOT SERVOS

In the context of this discussion, “overpowering” refers to any pressure or force
applied to the pitch controls when the autopilot is engaged. A small amount of
pressure or force on the pitch controls can cause the autopilot automatic trim to run

Hazard

Avoidance

to an out-of-trim condition. Therefore, any application of pressure or force to the
controls should be avoided when the autopilot is engaged.

Overpowering the autopilot during flight will cause the autopilot’s automatic trim

FeaturesAnnun/AlertsAppendixIndex

Additional

to run, resulting in an out-of-trim condition or cause the trim to hit the stop if the
action is prolonged. In this case, larger than anticipated control forces are required
after the autopilot is disengaged.

The following steps should be added to the preflight check:

1)

Check for proper autopilot operation and ensure the autopilot can be
overpowered.

2)

Note the forces required to overpower the autopilot servo clutches.
