Figure 3-2, GDU 1500 Control Interface 3.1.1 Softkeys Some pages have commands or selections that are activated by the GDU 1040 softkeys. If a softkey is associated with a command, that command will be displayed directly above the key. A grayed-out softkey shows a command that is unavailable. A softkey that is highlighted shows the current active selection. Figure 3-3, G1000 Softkeys 3.1.2 FMS Knob The FMS knob is the primary control for the G1000 system.
3.2 GCU 477 - MFD Controller The MFD controls are located on the GCU 477 as show in Figure 3-4. Figure 3-4, MFD Controls (GCU 477 shown) 3.3 GMC 710 - AFCS Controls The dedicated AFCS controls located on the GMC 710 are discussed in detail in the G1000 CRG.
3.4 GMA 1347D Audio Panel Figure 3-6 provides the audio panel controls.
3.5 G1000 Normal Mode To start the G1000 system in Normal Mode: 1. With a ground power unit connected to the external power receptacle, set the BAT and EXT PWR switches to ‘ON’.
3.6 Reversionary Mode Reversionary mode allows for display of information related to safe flight in the event of a display communication or hardware failure. The pilot’s PFD automatically goes into reversionary mode when communication to the MFD is lost. Manual reversionary mode allows the operator to force the pilot or copilot’s PFD into reversionary mode by pressing the large red button labeled ‘DISPLAY BACKUP’ on the respective GMA 1347D audio panel.
3.7 Configuration Mode Overview Throughout this document, references are made to the PFD1, PFD2 and/or MFD being in configuration mode. The configuration mode exists to provide the avionics technician with a means of configuring, checking, and calibrating various G1000 sub-systems. Troubleshooting and diagnostics information can also be viewed in this mode. To start the G1000 system in configuration mode, follow these steps: 1.
Data can be manually copied from one column to the other (and consequently from PFD memory to the LRU memory and vice-versa) by using the following two softkeys, when available: • SET>ACTV (read ‘Set to Active’) softkey: Allows the installer to send the information in the SET column (data stored in the master config module) to the ACTV column (data used by LRU). • ACTV>SET (read ‘Active to Set’) softkey: Causes the LRUs current settings to be copied to the master configuration module as SET items.
When troubleshooting the system, technicians can look for inequalities between SET and ACTIVE columns. Certain problems can be resolved simply by pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, which reloads settings to the specific LRU from the PFD. (Note that this can also be accomplished by reloading the configuration files for the LRU. Section 7 describes this process for each LRU). A blank active column, as shown in Figure 3-11, represents loss of communication between the display and the particular unit.
3.7.4 Configuration Mode Navigation Using the FMS knob as described in Section 3.1.2, a user can navigate through different pages and page groups in the Configuration Mode. For complete description and breakdown of each page, refer to the G1000 System Maintenance Manual listed in Table 1-3. System Page Group 1. System Status 5. System Upload 9.

3.8 G1000 / GFC 700 Software Information NOTE The following sections provide a detailed description of loading all G1000 software and configuration files, which may be excessive for individual LRU removal and replacement. If removing and replacing individual LRUs, refer to Section 6 of this manual for the necessary steps. 3.8.1 G1000 Software Image All software and configuration files were certified by Garmin and are considered part of FAA-approved Type Design data.
3.8.2 Loader Card Creation The software image is an executable self-extracting file which builds the correct file structure onto an SD card for use loading software to the G1000 and GFC700. To obtain the current file, follow the procedures outlined below. NOTE In order to create a 300/B300 loader card, the individual/facility completing these procedures, must be an authorized King Air 300/B300 service center to gain access to the necessary data via the Garmin website. 1. Go to www.garmin.
7. Double-click the .exe file that was downloaded. The following window will pop-up on the screen. Ensure that there is an empty SD card in the card reader, and then click Setup. NOTE When the extraction begins, the program automatically deletes all current files on the SD card and copies the selected files to it, regardless of the file format on the SD card. Ensure files are not necessary or card is empty before proceeding.
8. Ensure the card and correct drive letter is used, and click next. Select drive 9. A window will pop-up onto the screen to indicate file progress.
10. Once successfully completed, the following message/window will pop-up. Click Finish to finalize SD card. 3.8.3 Software Files Software files are defined by part number and version number on the General Arrangement drawing. See Table 1-2 for the correct General Arrangement drawing part numbers. Each G1000 / GFC 700 LRU reports the software version it currently contains to the user in two places. • Normal System Mode: The AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page lists each LRU and the reported software version.
3.8.5 Configuration File Storage The G1000 system is designed to store all configuration settings in various places so that the configuration is retained in the aircraft during maintenance of units. During system configuration, each file is sent directly to the applicable LRU where it is stored in local LRU memory (reference Figure 3-14.) Each file is also stored in the PFD internal memory.
The GRS 77/7800 AHRS and GMU 44 Magnetometer do not have a configuration file. However, the GRS does store calibration data acquired during the post installation checkout, which are characteristic to the specific installation. A copy of this calibration data is stored in the GRS configuration module. While performing maintenance on these units, re-calibration may be required. See Section 7.7.1 for more information on re-calibration criteria.
3.9 G1000 Software/Configuration Procedure This section summarizes the procedures required to load software and configuration files to the G1000.

Figure 5-6, GFC Status Page GIA STATUS AP DISCONNECT: Shows the condition of the AP DISC +28 VDC input to the GIAs and servos, which is required for the Autopilot to operate. A green status indicator shows the AP DISC switch is closed and the GFC 700 is activly receiving 28 volts.
SERVO DATA Shows real-time reported data including servo voltage, speed, motor current, load cell torque, and clutch solenoid status. A green box indicates the servo clutch is engaged. 5.6.3 GIA Fault Log Descriptions The section was created to help determine why the GFC 700 has failed the Pre-Flight Test indicated by the red PFT annunciation , it defines the PFT sequence for the servos and the GFC 700 system and then provides troubleshooting information to help resolve failures.
9. The GIA Maintenance Log can record any of the following faults: • FCS Task not started: Bad gains The FCS task has not started because the gains are not present or have been corrupted. Reload the gain files to correct. • FCS Task not started: Gain structure out of range The FCS task has not started because the gains are not compatible with the GIA software. Reload the gain files to correct.
5.6.4 GIA Pre-Flight Test Steps PFT step 0: System initialization, verify GFC powered This step is checking to make sure the GFC is powered up. It checks to make sure the GIA AP disconnect input is connected to 28 volts, and makes sure the Servos are up and communicating. If this step fails, make sure the GIA is connected to AP disconnect by using the GFC configuration page. Also make sure all configured Servos are communicating by checking for Servo product data in configuration mode.
PFT step 5: System initialization, verify servo PFT is complete This step is checking to make sure that all servos have completed their own PFT. This does not check whether the servo PFT passed or failed. It verifies that the servo PFT is no longer in progress. PFT step 6: Verify cross GIA is initialized This step is checking to make sure the other GIA is also on step 6 of its PFT. If this step fails, try cycling power on GIA1, GIA2, and all servos.
PFT step 12: Verify AP disconnect enabled This step is checking to make sure GIA1, GIA2, and all servos have are connected to a 28 volt AP disconnect. If this step fails, make sure the AP disconnect input to GIA1, GIA2, and all servos is connected and registering 28 volts. Make sure the AP disconnect switch has been installed in the aircraft. Make sure no one is holding the AP disconnect switch down on the yoke.
5.6.4.1 Servo Faults and Troubleshooting Whenever a servo fault occurs, a status message is logged to the corresponding servo control or monitor maintenance log. This information is also accompanied by a time and date stamp. An “RTC DATE” entry is made every time a servo is powered on, it is normally not useful for troubleshooting.
