WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain avoidance

feature. The terrain avoidance 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 avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance. 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 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 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the G1000 system must be updated

regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so

entirely at their own risk.

WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is

intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to

enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Trafﬁc information shown on the G1000 is provided as an aid in visually acquiring trafﬁc. Pilots

must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conﬂicting

trafﬁc.

WARNING: Use of the Stormscope is not intended for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm

penetration). Stormscope information, as displayed on the G1000, is to be used only for weather avoidance,

not penetration.

WARNING: XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information

provided by the GDL 69A is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

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.

190-00962-03 Rev. Aii

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in this aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity.

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 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

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

misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

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

Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Airplane Flight Manual. 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.

WARNING: 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 Aeronautical Information

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

intense radar echo.”

WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may 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.

WARNING

:

Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld, operating the G1000 within the following

areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. 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)

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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.

CAUTION: The 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.

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. 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: 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: 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 feet

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.

190-00962-03 Rev. Aiv

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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 are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs) by virtue

of a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each database

and can be viewed at http://ﬂy.garmin.com by selecting ‘Type 2 LOA Status.’

• 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 to

coordinate the revised DQRs.

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 ‘Report An Aviation Data Error Report.’

1.1 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS

• GDU 1040/1045 (2) – A GDU 1040 is conﬁgured as the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and a GDU 1045 as

the Multi Function Display (MFD). Both displays feature 10.4-inch LCD screens with 1024 x 768 resolution.

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 an IAU.

•

GMA 1347

– The Audio Panel integrates navigation/communication radio (NAV/COM) digital audio, intercom,

and marker beacon controls, and is installed between the displays. This unit also provides manual control

of display Reversionary Mode (red

DISPLAY BACKUP

button; see Section 1.4, System Operation) and

communicates with both IAUs using an RS-232 digital interface.

•

GIA 63W

(2) – The Integrated Avionics Units (IAU) function as the main communications hub, linking all LRUs

with the PFD. Each GIA 63W contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a ﬂight director (FD;

if Garmin AFCS is installed), and system integration microprocessors. Each GIA 63W is paired with the on-side

display via an HSDB connection. The IAUs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other

directly.

NOTE: Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to determine whether SBAS functionality is approved.

•

GDC 74A

– The Air Data Computer (ADC) processes data from the pitot/static system and outside air temperature

(OAT) sensor. The ADC provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G1000

System, and it communicates with the primary IAU, displays, and AHRS using an ARINC 429 digital interface.

•

GEA 71

– The Engine Airframe Unit receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. This

unit communicates with both IAUs using an RS-485 digital interface.

•

GTX 33 or GTX 33 with Extended Squitter

– The GTX 33 solid-state Transponder provides Modes A, C, and

S capability. The GTX 33 with Extended Squitter will also provide 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (1090ES)

transmit capability. The transponder communicates with both IAUs through an RS-232 digital interface.

•

GRS 77

(2) – The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) provides aircraft attitude and heading

information via ARINC 429 to both the PFD and the primary IAU. The AHRS contains advanced sensors

(including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the Magnetometer to obtain magnetic ﬁeld

information, with the ADC to obtain air data, and with both IAUs to obtain GPS information. AHRS operation

is discussed in Section 1.4, System Operation.

•

GMU 44

– The Magnetometer measures local magnetic ﬁeld and sends data to the AHRS for processing to

determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the AHRS and communicates with

it via an RS-485 digital interface.

•

GDL 69/69A

– The Data Link Satellite Radio Receiver provides real-time weather information to MFD maps

and the PFD Inset Map. The GDL 69A model is also capable of providing digital audio entertainment. The

Data Link Receiver communicates with the MFD via an HSDB connection. A subscription to XM Satellite Radio

Service is required to enable Data Link Receiver capability.

•

GSA 80, GSA 81

and

GSM 85 (

or

GSM 86)

– The GSA servos are used for the automatic control of pitch, pitch

trim, roll and yaw. These units interface with each IAU.

The GSM 85 (or GSM 86) servo mounts are responsible for transferring the output torque of the servo actuators

to the mechanical ﬂight-control surface linkages (not displayed in Figure 1-1).
