SECTION I
GENERAL
IDENTIFICATION PLATE
All correspondence regarding your airplane should include the Serial Number as depicted on the
identification plate. The identification plate is located on the left hand side, aft end of the tailcone,
below the horizontal stabilizer leading edge. The aircraft Serial Number and type certificate are
shown.
GARMIN G1000 GENERAL
The GARMIN G1000 Integrated Avionics System is a fully integrated flight, engine, communication, navigation and surveillance instrumentation system. The system consists of a Primary
Flight Display (PFD), Multi--Function Display (MFD), audio panel (GMA), Air Data Computer
(ADC), Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), engine/airframe processing unit
(GEA), and integrated avionics (GIA) containing VHF communications, VHS navigation, and
GPS navigation.
M20TN - MODEL TYPE-S
MOONEY
-WARNING-
Do not load a new arrival or departure procedure in the flight plan if one currently
exists without first removing the existing arrival or departure procedure. Failing
to observe this limitation can cause erroneous course deviation indications, loss
of GPS navigation information, and other display anomalies.
NOTE:
If display anomalies are noted after editing the flight plan, perform either a direct
to or activate leg operation as appropriate on the flight plan to ensure correct
flight plan sequencing and guidance.
The primary function of the PFD is to provide attitude, heading, air data, navigation, and alerting
information to the pilot. The PFD may also be used for flight planning. The primary function of the
MFD is to provide engine information, mapping terrain information and for flight planning. The
audio panel is used for selection of radios for transmitting and listening, intercom functions, and
marker beacon functions.
The primary function of the VHF Communication portion of the G1000 is to enable external radio
communication. The primary function of the VOR/ILS Receiver portion of the equipment is to
receive and demodulate VOR, localizer, and Glide Slope signals. The primary function of the
GPS portion of the system is to acquire signals from the GPS satellites, recover orbital data,
make range and Doppler measurements, and process this information in real time to obtain the
user’s position, velocity, and time.
Provided the GARMIN G1000 GPS receivers are receiving adequate and usable GPS and/or
VHF navigation signals, it has been demonstrated capable of and meets the accuracy specifications for the following types of flight operations:
VFR/IFR en--route, oceanic, and terminal operations as well as nonprecision instrument
approach (GPS, Loran--C, VOR, VOR--DME, TACAN,NDB, NDB--DME, RNAV) operation within the U.S. National Airspace System in accordance with AC20--138A.
Navigation in the North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Performance Specification
(MNPS) Airspace in accordance with AC91 --49 and AC 120--33.
The GARMIN G1000 system meets RNP5 airspace (BRNAV) requirements of AC
90--96 and in accordance with AC 20--138A, JAA AMJ 20X2 Leaflet 2 Revision 1, and
FAA Order 8110.60 for oceanic and remote airspace operations, provided it is receiving
usable navigation information from the GPS receiver. (A separate software application
for prediction of GPS navigation availability may be required for oceanic and remote operations. Refer to appropriate limitations for the airspace you are operating in to determine if this GPS prediction software is required).
Navigation is accomplished using the WGS--84 (NAD--83) coordinate reference datum.
GPS navigation data is based upon use of only the Global Positioning System (GPS)
operated by the United States of America.
