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 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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: 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: 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 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.

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.

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-46 Mirage

190-01889-00 Rev. Bii

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

WARNING:

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

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 signiﬁcantly older than the indicated weather product age.

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:

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 G1000 Integrated Avionics System in 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 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 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.

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: 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 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

: 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

: 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

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

•

GDU 1040

(2) – Each unit is conﬁgured as a PFD that features a 10.4-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution.

The unit installed on the left/pilot side is designated as PFD1, and the one installed on the right/copilot side

is designated as PFD2. These units communicate with each other, the MFD, and with the on-side GIA 63W

Integrated Avionics Unit through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.

•

GDU 1240A

(1) – Features a 12-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution and is conﬁgured as an MFD. This unit

is linked to both PFDs via HSDB connection.

•

GIA 63W

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

GIA 63W contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a ﬂight director (FD) and system

integration microprocessors. Each GIA 63W is paired with the on-side PFD via HSDB connection. The GIA

63Ws are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.

•

GDC 74A

(2) – 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 on-side GIA 63W, on-side GDU 1040 and on-side GRS 77, using an ARINC 429 digital interface (it

also interfaces directly with the on-side GTP 59). The GDC 74A is designed to operate in Reduced Vertical

Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace.

•

GEA 71

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

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

•

GRS 77

(2) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both the on-side GDU 1040

and the on-side GIA 63W. The GRS 77 contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate sensors)

and interfaces with the on-side GMU 44 to obtain magnetic ﬁeld information, with the GDC 74A to obtain air

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

document.

•

GMU 44

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

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

using an RS-485 digital interface.

•

GMA 350

(1) – The Audio Panel integrates NAV/COM audio, intercom, telephone, and marker beacon controls

(refer to the Audio Panel & CNS Section). This unit communicates with both GIA 63Ws, using an RS-232

digital interface.

(2) – Provides Outside Air Temperature (OAT) data to the on-side GDC 74A.

•

GSA 80

(1),

GSA 81

(3) and

GSM 86

(4) – The GSA 80/81 servos are used for the automatic control of roll,

pitch, and yaw, and pitch trim. These units interface with each GIA 63W.

The GSM 86 servo gearbox is responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 81 servo actuator to the

mechanical ﬂight-control surface linkage.

•

GWX 68

(1)(optional) – Provides airborne weather and ground mapped radar data to the MFD, through the

GDL 69, via HSDB connection.

•

GDL 69

(1)(optional) – A satellite radio receiver that provides real-time weather information to the G1000 MFD

(and, indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital audio entertainment. The GDL 69 communicates

with the MFD via HSDB connection. A subscription to the XM Satellite Radio service is required to enable the

GDL 69 digital audio entertainment capability.

GRC 10 Remote Control (optional with GDL 69)

GRT 10

Remote Control Transceiver (optional with GDL 69)

•

GSR 56

(1 optional) – The Iridium Transceiver provides voice communication by means of pilot and copilot

headsets. The unit can also send and receive data over the Iridium satellite network. The GSR 56 is connected

to the #2 GIA 63W with an RS-232 digital interface.

•

GTS 825/855

(1)(optional)– The GTS 825 Trafﬁc Advisory System (TAS), and the GTS 855 TCAS I, use active

interrogations of Mode S and Mode C transponders to provide trafﬁc information to the pilot independent of

the air trafﬁc control system.
