Garmin G1000H Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX

WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of information for maintaining separation

from terrain and obstacles. Garmin obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot

independently verify the accuracy of the information

WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for veriﬁcation of displayed aeronautical

information. Displayed aeronautical data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information.

WARNING: Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air trafﬁc control altitude requirements. The

primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance with all air trafﬁc control altitude regulations,

requirements, instructions, and clearances.

WARNING: Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the sole means of navigation. Basemap

data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered only

an aid to enhance situational awareness.

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 older than the indicated weather product age.

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitude (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: Always obtain qualiﬁed instruction prior to operational use of this equipment.

WARNING

:

Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly

with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter setting for height above mean sea level, or the

standard pressure setting, as applicable.

Garmin G1000H Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX

190-01255-03 Rev. A

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.

WARNING: When using the autopilot to ﬂy an approach with vertical guidance, the autopilot will not level

the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude preselect.

WARNING

:

Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld, do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and

heading indications in the following geographic areas: 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).

WARNING:

Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle, and trafﬁc avoidance.

Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or

reliability upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or trafﬁc.

WARNING:

Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the Garmin SVT display or may

appear as a partial symbol.

WARNING:

Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means for determining the proximity of

the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining the proper approach path angle during landing.

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.

WARNING: Trafﬁc information shown on system displays is provided as an aid in visually acquiring trafﬁc.

Trafﬁc avoidance maneuvers are based upon TCAS II Resolution Advisories , ATC guidance, or positive visual

acquisition of conﬂicting trafﬁc.

WARNING: Do not rely on information from a 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 documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for

detailed information about the system.

190-01255-03 Rev. A

Garmin G1000H Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX

WARNING: Do not use HTAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only

to enhance situational awareness.

CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing ammonia. They will

harm the anti-reﬂective coating.

CAUTION:

Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or

modiﬁcations could void both the warranty and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.

NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information.

Always conﬁrm TFR information through ofﬁcial sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Trafﬁc Control.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the system panel

and displays, are subject to change and may not reﬂect the most current system and aviation databases.

Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

NOTE: 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 system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation

AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or

misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

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

: 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.

NOTE

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

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: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal structures, or electromagnetic ﬁelds

can cause sensor differences that may result in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut

down, or while taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation indicates no

comparison is possible.

Garmin G1000H Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX

190-01255-03 Rev. A

NOTE: The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded within that procedure in the

Navigation Database. Differences in system operation may be observed among similar types of procedures

due to differences in the Navigation Database coding speciﬁc to each procedure.

NOTE

: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who ﬂy with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the

following:

•Itisthepilot’sresponsibilitytoremainfamiliarwithallFAAregulatoryandadvisoryguidanceandinformation

related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System.

•GarminequipmentwillonlyrecognizeandusedatabasesthatareobtainedfromGarminorJeppesen.Databases

obtainedfromGarminorJeppesenthathaveaType2LetterofAuthorization(LOA)fromtheFAAareassured

compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs). A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each applicable

database and can be viewed at http://ﬂy.garmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Declarations.’

•Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with

established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to ﬂy any and all terminal procedures

that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established

AFM(S) and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment.

NOTE

: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed in

SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at

www.ﬂygarmin.com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’

NOTE

: The pilot/operator must have access to Garminand Jeppesen databasealerts and consider their

impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at www.ﬂygarmin.com by

selecting ‘Aviation Database Alerts.’

NOTE

: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support.

NOTE: Garmin requests the ﬂight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information.

These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identiﬁed terrain, obstacles

and ﬁxes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go

to FlyGarmin.com and select ‘Aviation Data Error Report’.

NOTE: The system supports approval of AC 120-76C Hardware Class 3, Software Type B Electronic Flight Bag

(EFB) electronic aeronautical chart applications. Possible additional requirements may make a secondary

source (traditional paper or additional electronic display) necessary onboard the aircraft. If the secondary

source is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its use must be consistent with guidance in AC 120-76C.

NOTE: Lamp(s) inside this product 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 G1000H Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX

NOTE: When operating the system with the magnetic sensor uncoupled from the AHRS, the displayed

heading and heading information used by some system components (e.g. trafﬁc system, AFCS, and weather

radar) will be different from the heading calculated by the AHRS. The difference is an amount equal to the

difference between the current Magnetic Field Variation Database (MV DB) value, and the MV DB value

when the magnetic sensor was uncoupled. Due to the convergence of isogonic lines, this condition is most

noticeable at or near the north and south magnetic poles.

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. However, clusters of two or more

discharge points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after

the screen has been cleared.

NOTE: Operate G1000H system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days of continuous

operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.

1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

•

GDU 1040H

(2) – One unit is conﬁgured as a PFD, the other as an MFD, each featuring a 10.4-inch LCD with

1024 x 768 resolution. The unit installed on the right/pilot side is designated as the PFD, and the one installed

on the left/copilot side is designated as the MFD. These units communicate with each other and with the on-

side GIA 63H Integrated Avionics Unit through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.

•

GIA 63H

(2) – Functions as the main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the on-side PFD. Each GIA 63H

contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a ﬂight director (FD) and system integration

microprocessors. Each GIA 63H is paired with a respective GDU 1040H via HSDB connection. The GIA 63Hs

are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.

•

GDC 74H

(1) – Processes data from the pitot/static system as well as the OAT probe. This unit provides

pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed and OAT information to the G1000H system, and it communicates

with the each GIA 63H, GDU 1040H and GRS 77H, using an ARINC 429 digital interface (it also interfaces

directly with the GTP 59). The GDC 74H is designed to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum

(RVSM) airspace.

•

GEA 71H

(1) – Receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. This unit communicates

with both GIA 63Hs using an RS-485 digital interface.

GSC 46

(1) – The GSC 46 is a signal conditioner which converts tachometer and engine torque information to

a digital format for use by the GEA 71H.

•

GRS 77H

(1) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both GDU 1040H units

and the both GIA 63H units. The GRS 77H contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate

sensors) and interfaces with the GMU 44 to obtain magnetic ﬁeld information, with the GDC 74H to obtain air

data, and with both GIA 63Hs to obtain GPS information. AHRS modes of operation are discussed later in this

document.

•

GMU 44

(1) – Measures local magnetic ﬁeld. Data is sent to the GRS 77H for processing to determine aircraft

magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the GRS 77H and communicates with the GRS 77H,

using an RS-485 digital interface.

•

GMA 350H

(1) – Integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls. This unit

communicates with both GIA 63Hs, using an RS-232 digital interface.

•
