WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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 Multi Function Display 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 MFD, is to be used only for weather
avoidance, not penetration.
WARNING: GDL 69 Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information
provided by the GDL 69 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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING:
For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
WARNING:
The Garmin G1000, as installed in Cessna Nav III 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:
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. 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 Airman’s Information
Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an
intense radar echo.”
WARNING
:
Because of anomalies 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 70° North latitude and south
of 70° South latitude. An area north of 65° North latitude between longitude 75º West and 120º West. An
area south of 55° South latitude between longitude 120º East and 165º East.
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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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 and aviation databases. 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: The GDU 1040 PFD/MFD may require a warm-up time of up to 30 minutes when exposed to -40˚C for an
extended period. A warm-up time of up to 15 minutes may be required when exposed to -30˚C for an extended
period.
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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section is designed to provide an overview of the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck as installed in Cessna
Nav III aircraft, which include the Cessna 172R, the Cessna 172S, the normally aspirated Cessna 182 (182), the
turbocharged Cessna 182 (T182), the normally aspirated Cessna 206 (206), and the turbocharged Cessna 206
(T206).
The G1000 system is an integrated flight control system that presents flight instrumentation, position, navigation,
communication, and identification information to the pilot through large-format displays. The system consists of
the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):
GDU 1040/1044B
Primary Flight Display (PFD)
GDU 1044B
Multi Function Display (MFD)
GIA 63/63W

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)
GDU 1040/1044B
The GDU 1044B features a 10.4-inch LCD display with 1024 x 768 resolution. The left
display is configured as a PFD and the right display is configured as an MFD. Both GDU 1044Bs 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 via an Ethernet connection with
a GIA 63 or 63W Integrated Avionics Unit. Systems using the Honeywell KAP 140 Autopilot System use the
GDU 1040, which employs the same features as the GDU 1044B without the controls for the Garmin GFC 700
Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
GIA 63/63W
(2) Functions as the main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD. Each GIA 63/
63W contains a GPS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a flight director (FD) and system integration
microprocessors. The GIA 63W contains a GPS WAAS receiver. Each GIA is paired with a respective GDU
1040/1044B display through Ethernet. The GIAs are not paired together and do not communicate with each
other directly.
GDC 74A
(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 G1000 system, and it communicates with
the GIA 63/63W, GDU 1040/1044B, and GRS 77, using an ARINC 429 digital interface. The GDC 74A also
interfaces directly with the GTP 59.

indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital audio entertainment. The GDL 69A communicates
with the MFD via HSDB connection. A subscription to the XM Satellite Radio service is required to enable the
GDL 69A capability.
GDL 90
(1) A digital data link transceiver designed to transmit, receive and decode ADS-B messages. It
broadcasts aircraft position, velocity, projected track, altitude, and flight identification to other equipped aircraft
in the vicinity, as well as to FAA ground stations.
GSA 81
(3), and
GSM 85
(3) – The GSA 81 servos are used for the automatic control of roll, pitch, and pitch
trim. These units interface with each GIA 63/63W.
The GSM 85 servo mount is responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 81 servo actuator to the
mechanical flight-control surface linkage.
