G1000 TM Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Nav III
Copyright © 2004, 2005 Garmin Ltd. or its subsidiaries. All rights reserved. This manual reflects the operation of System Software versions 0394.06 or later for Cessna 172R aircraft, 0395.07 or later for Cessna 172S aircraft, 0371.15 or later for normally aspirated Cessna 182 aircraft, 0372.14 or later for turbocharged Cessna 182 aircraft, 0373.10 or later for normally aspirated Cessna 206 aircraft, and 0374.10 or later for turbocharged Cessna 206 aircraft.
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.
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 Cessna Nav III aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity.
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.

SECTION 11 – ABNORMAL OPERATION 11.2 ABNORMAL COM OPERATION When a COM tuning failure is detected by the system, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) is automatically loaded into the active frequency field of the COM radio for which the tuning failure was detected. In the event of a dual display failure, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) automatically becomes the active frequency to the pilot through the pilot headset. 11.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS SECTION 12: ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS NOTE: The Cessna aircraft Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) supersedes information found in this document. The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items: • Annunciation Window: The Annunciation window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text color is based on alert levels described later in the Alert Levels Definitions section.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.1 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft, uses three alert levels. • WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate pilot attention. A warning alert is annunciated in the Annunciation Window and is accompanied by a continuous aural tone. Text appearing in the Annunciation Window is RED. A warning alert is also accompanied by a flashing WARNING softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure 12-2.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.2 NAV III AIRCRAFT ALERTS The following alerts are configured specifically for the Cessna Nav III aircraft. See the Cessna Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for information regarding pilot responses. WARNING Alerts Annunciation Window Text OIL PRESSURE LOW VOLTS HIGH VOLTS CO LVL HIGH PITCH TRIM * Aural tone is inhibited while ground. Audio Alert Continuous Aural Tone Continuous Aural Tone* Continuous Aural Tone Continuous Aural Tone No Tone the aircraft is on the 12.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.4 TAWS ALERTS The following table shows the possible TAWS alert types with corresponding annunciations and aural messages.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS The following system status annunciations may also be issued.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.5 G1000 SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS Traffic Voice Alerts When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red ‘X’ is typically displayed on windows associated with the failed data. Refer to the POH for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations. The following voice alerts can be configured for ‘Male’ or ‘Female’ gender by using the Aux System Setup Page on the MFD.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS System Annunciation Comment Display is not receiving altitude input from the air data computer. Display is not receiving vertical speed input from the air data computer. Display is not receiving valid heading input from AHRS. GPS information is either not present or is invalid for navigation use. Note that AHRS utilizes GPS inputs during normal operation. AHRS operation may be degraded if GPS signals are not present (see AFMS).
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS A red ‘X’ may be the result of an LRU or an LRU function failure. The Figure 12-5 illustrates all possible flags and the responsible LRUs.
