G1000 TM System Overview
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This document is designed to provide an overview of the G1000 Integrated Cockpit System as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GIA 63 – The GIA 63 is the central Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) of the G1000 system. The GIA 63 functions as a main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD and the MFD displays. Each GIA 63 contains a GPS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, and system integration microprocessors. Each GIA 63 is paired with a respective GDU 1040 display through Ethernet. The GIAs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GTX 33 – The GTX 33 is a solid-state, ModeS transponder that provides Modes A, C and S operation. The GTX 33 is controlled through the PFD and communicates with both GIA 63s through an RS-232 digital interface. 190-00498-00 Rev. A • GDL 69/69A – The GDL 69/69A is an XM satellite radio receiver that provides real-time weather information to the G1000 MFD. The GDL 69A also provides digital audio entertainment in the cockpit.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW The G1000 controls and keys have been designed to simplify the operation of the system and minimize workload as well as the time required to access sophisticated functionality. The following list provides an overview of the controls located on the display bezel. • (1) NAV VOL/ID Knob – Controls the NAV audio level. Press to toggle the Morse code identifier ON and OFF. Volume level is shown in the field as a percentage.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • (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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP The G1000 system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The Garmin G1000 PFD/MFD and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous builtin test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs and outputs to provide safe operation. While the system begins to initialize, test annunciations are displayed to the pilot at power-up, as shown in the following figure.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW When the MFD powers up, the MFD Power-up Page displays the following information: • • • • • • • System version Copyright Checklist filename Land database name and version Obstacle database name and version Terrain database name and version Aviation database name, version and effective dates When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING The G1000 PFD and MFD displays use photocell technology to automatically adjust for ambient lighting conditions. Photocell calibration curves are pre-configured to optimize display appearance through a broad range of cockpit lighting conditions. The PFD, MFD, and Audio Panel bezel/key lighting is normally controlled directly by the existing instrument panel dimmer bus. If desired, the PFD and MFD display backlighting may be adjusted manually.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY MODE Should a failure occur in either display, the G1000 automatically enters reversionary mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is shown on the remaining display. An example of reversionary mode entry due to a failed PFD is shown in Figure 1-7. If a display fails, the GIA 63-GDU 1040 Ethernet interface is cut off.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION Air Data Input Failure In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77 AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal (primary) mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. If either of these external measurements is unavailable or invalid, the AHRS uses air data information for attitude determination.

G1000 TM Appendices
APPENDIX A SD CARD USE 4. The G1000 system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for terrain database storage as well as aviation database updates. 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. 7.
APPENDIX A The obstacle and terrain database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detailing in the ‘Aviation Databases’ section of the Garmin website (www.garmin.com). Once the updated files have been downloaded from the website, a PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the new databases onto the existing Supplemental Data Cards. Equipment required to perform the update is as follows: • Windows-compatible PC computer (Windows 2000 or XP recommended).

APPENDIX C QUESTIONS & ANSWERS This Appendix answers common questions regarding G1000 system operational capabilities. If a particular subject is not covered in this Appendix, the index may be used to find the appropriate section in this manual. If a sufficient answer is still not found, an authorized Garmin dealer or contact Garmin directly (see Copyright page). Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers.
APPENDIX C mation from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the G1000 system automatically updates the information, provided the procedure has not been modified. Should an approach, departure, or arrival procedure no longer be available, the flight plan becomes locked until the procedure is deleted from the flight plan. Can “slant Golf” (“/G”) be filed using the G1000? “/G” may be filed for a flight plan.
APPENDIX C Why does the G1000 not automatically sequence to the next waypoint? The G1000 only sequences flight plan waypoints when automatic sequencing is enabled (i.e., no “OBS” or “SUSP” annunciation). For automatic sequencing to occur, the aircraft must also cross the “bisector” of the turn being navigated. The bisector is a perpendicular line between two flight plan legs which crosses through the waypoint common to both legs.
APPENDIX C After a missed approach, how can the same approach be re-selected? How can a new approach be activated? After flying the missed approach procedure, the pilot may reactivate the same approach for another attempt from the Procedures Page. Once the clearance is given for another attempt, activate the approach from the Procedures Page by highlighting “Activate Approach?”, then pressing the ENT key.
APPENDIX D G1000 MAP DATUMS The G1000 system supports the following map datums. WARNING: WGS 84 is the default datum and should be used in all situations except when another datum is specifically required for safe navigation. Pilots using map datums other than WGS 84 do so at their own risk.
APPENDIX D G1000 MAP DATUMS (CONT.
APPENDIX E GENERAL TIS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides traffic advisory information in the cockpit of non-TCAS equipped aircraft. TIS is a ground-based service providing relative location of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real time track reports to generate traffic notification. The G1000 system displays TIS traffic information on the Traffic Map Page of the MFD.
APPENDIX E NOTE: TIS is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep. Because of this, the surveillance information is approximately five seconds old. TIS ground station tracking software uses prediction algorithms to compensate for this delay.
