WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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.
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.

190-02348-00 Rev. Cii
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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: 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
:
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: 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:
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 operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when personnel or objects are within
the MPEL boundary.
WARNING: Always position the weather radar gain setting to Calibrated for viewing the actual intensity of
precipitation. Changing the gain in weather mode causes precipitation intensity to be displayed as a color
not representative of the true intensity.
WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only
to enhance situational awareness.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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.

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: Operate G1000 NXi system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days of continuous
operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.
NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures. Prior
to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization, training, and possession of the
corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special
Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section provides an overview of the G1000 NXi Integrated Avionics System as installed in the Daher TBM
850/900. The system is an integrated avionics system that presents flight instrumentation, position, navigation,
communication, and identification information to the pilot through large-format displays.
LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)
GDU 1050A
(2) – Each unit is configured as a PFD that features a 10 inch, high resolution LED backlit
display unit. 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 1550
(1) – This unit features a 15-inch high resolution LED backlit display 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 PFD and MFD. 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 PFD and MFD via High Speed Database
connection. The GIA 63Ws are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.
GDC 74B
(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 system, and it communicates with the
GIA 63Ws, the displays, and the GRS 77, using an ARINC 429 digital interface. The GDC 74B is designed to
operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace.
GRS 77
(2) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both displays and both
GIA 63Ws. The GRS 77 contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces
with the GMU 44 to obtain magnetic field information, with the GDC 74B 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 unit for processing to determine
aircraft magnetic heading. The GMU 44 receives power directly from the GRS unit, and communicates with
the GRS 77 unit using an RS-485 digital interface.
GMA 1347D
(2) – Integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls, and is
installed in dual configuration on the outboard side of PFD1 and PFD2. This unit also enables the manual
control of the display reversionary mode (red
DISPLAY BACKUP
button) and communicates with the on-side
GIA 63W, using an RS-232 digital interface.
GMC 710
(1) – Provides the controls for the Garmin AFCS through an RS-232 digital interface allowing
communication with both PFDs.
GCU 475
(1) – Provides the Flight Management System (FMS) controls for the MFD through an RS-232
digital interface.
GEA 71
(2) – Receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. This unit communicates
with both GIA 63Ws using an RS-485 digital interface.
GTA 82 (1)
– The GTA 82 Trim Adapter is a remote mounted device that is used to allow the AFCS to drive
the yaw trim actuator.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
GTX 33 / 33D / 33 ES / 33D ES / 345 (2) – There are two transponders installed. Standard and alternate
transponder models and combinations are dependent upon aircraft locale and configuration. The GTX 33
is a solid state base model that provides Mode A, C, and S capability. The GTX 33D includes Mode S with
diversity (“D”) and the GTX 33 ES (Extended Squitter) provides Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS-B
out) transmission. The GTX 345 provides ADS-B In/Out. Only one transponder can be active at a time. Each
transponder communicates with the on-side GIA 63W through an RS-232 digital interface.
GSA 81 (4)
and
GSM 85 or 86
(4) – The GSA 81 servos are used for the automatic control of roll, yaw, pitch,
and pitch trim. These units interface with each GIA 63W.
The GSM 85 and 86 servo gearboxes are responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 81 servo
actuator to the mechanical flight-control surface linkage.
GDL 69A or GDL 69A SXM
(1) (Optional) – A satellite radio receiver that provides data link weather
information to the MFD (and, indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital audio entertainment.
The GDL communicates with the MFD via HSDB connection. Subscriptions to the SiriusXM Weather or
SiriusXM Satellite Radio services are required to enable the GDL 69A SXM capability.
GTS 820 or KTA 810
(1) (Optional) –
The Traffic Advisory System (TAS) uses active interrogations of Mode S
and C transponders to provide traffic information to the pilot independent of the air traffic control system.
GWX 68 or 70
(1) (Optional) – Provides airborne weather and ground mapped radar data to the MFD.
GRA 55, KRA 405B, or RA 4500
(1) (Optional) – The optional Radar Altimeter provides altitude above the
ground information and rate of change of radar altitude information.
GSR 56
(1) (Optional) - The Iridium Transceiver provides voice communications by means of a telephone
handset in the cabin and pilot and copilot headsets in the cockpit. The transceiver can also send and receive
short message service (SMS) text messages. The GSR 56 also receives data link weather products from the
Garmin Connext weather service through the Iridium satellite network.
Flight Stream 210 or 510
(1) (Optional) - The Flight Stream 210 LRU or the 510 SD Card provide a Bluetooth
®
connection between the system and a mobile device. GPS, AHRS, ADS-B, traffic, Sirius XM audio, and FIS-B
weather data can then be shared with the mobile device, and flight plans can be transferred to or from the
mobile device. Also, database updates may also be performed using the Flight Stream WiFi link.
RA 3502
(1) (Optional) – Becker Automatic Direction Finder.
Figure 1-1 shows interactions between the LRUs. Additional/optional equipment are also shown in Figure
1-1. The system is capable of interfacing with the following optional equipment:
