WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

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. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is

not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (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: The Garmin G1000, as installed in Tiger AG-5B aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integ-

rity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable

system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without

a fault indication shown by the G1000. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence

by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.

WARNING: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by G1000 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could

vary signiﬁcantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74A Air Data Computer,

or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure

altitude displayed by the G1000 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.

WARNING: The Jeppesen database used in the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure

that its information remains current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is

included in the G1000 package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for navigation, but rather only for non-navi-

gational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.

CAUTION: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the G1000 to attempt to penetrate a

thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman’s Information Manual

(AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identiﬁed as severe or giving an intense

radar echo.”

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

CAUTION: 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 Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVi-

gation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be misused or

misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G1000

Pilot’s Guide documentation. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During ﬂight operations,

carefully compare indications from the G1000 to all available navigation sources, including the information

from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before

continuing navigation.

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.

CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reﬂective coating that is

very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE

ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass

lens cleaner that is speciﬁed as safe for anti-reﬂective coatings.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel and

displays, are subject to change and may not reﬂect the most current G1000 system. Depictions of equipment

may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

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: 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.

Avoid the clusters to avoid the thunderstorms. In the cell display mode, even a single discharge point may

represent thunderstorm activity and should therefore be avoided.

system. A top-level G1000 block diagram is given in

Figure 1-1. Additional or optional interfaces are depicted

in Figure 1-2.

NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for detailed

speciﬁcations regarding the G1000 LRUs.

1.2 LRU DESCRIPTIONS

• GDU 1040 – The GDU 1040 has a 10.4-inch LCD

display with 1024 x 768 resolution. The left dis

-

play is conﬁgured as a PFD and the right display is

conﬁgured as a MFD. Both GDU 1040s link and

display all functions of the G1000 system during

ﬂight. The displays communicate with each other

through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet

connection. Each display is also paired with an

Ethernet connection to a GIA 63 Integrated Avionics

Unit.

• GMA 1347 – The GMA 1347 integrates NAV/COM

digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon

controls. The GMA 1347 also controls manual

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

• GIA 63 – The GIA 63 is the central Integrated

Avionics Unit (IAU) of the G1000 system. The

GIA 63 is the main communications 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 GDU 1040 display

through an Ethernet connection. The GIAs do not

communicate with each other directly.

• GRS 77 – The GRS 77 is an Attitude and Heading

Reference System (AHRS) that provides aircraft

attitude and heading information to both the

G1000 displays and the GIA 63s. The unit con

-

tains advanced sensors, accelerometers, and rate

sensors. In addition, the GRS 77 interfaces with

the GDC 74A Air Data Computer and the GMU 44

Magnetometer. The GRS 77 also utilizes two GPS

signal inputs sent from the GIA 63s. Attitude and

heading information is sent using an

ARINC 429

digital interface to both GDU 1040s and GIA 63s.

The AHRS modes of operation are discussed later

in this document.

• GMU 44 – The GMU 44 Magnetometer measures

local magnetic ﬁeld information. Data is sent to

the GRS 77 AHRS for processing to determine air-

craft magnetic heading. This unit receives power

directly from the GRS 77 and communicates with

the GRS 77 using an RS-485 digital interface.

• GDC 74A – The GDC 74A Air Data Computer

processes information received from the pitot/static

system and the outside air temperature (OAT)

sensor. The GDC 74A provides pressure altitude,

airspeed, vertical speed and OAT information to the

G1000 system and communicates with the GIA 63s,

GDU 1040s and GRS 77 using an ARINC 429 digital

interface.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

• GEA 71 – The GEA 71 receives and processes signals

from the engine and airframe sensors. Sensor types

include engine temperature and pressure sensors as

well as fuel measurement and pressure sensors. The

GEA 71 communicates with both GIA 63s using an

RS-485 digital interface.

• GTX 33 – The GTX 33 is a solid-state, Mode S

transponder that provides Modes A, C and S opera-

tion. The GTX 33 is controlled through the PFD

and communicates with both GIA 63s through an

RS-232 digital interface.

• GDL 69/69A (optional) – 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. The GDL 69/69A communicates with the

MFD on the High-Speed Data Bus. A subscription

to the XM Satellite Radio service is required for the

GDL 69/69A to be used.
