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 Garmin G1000 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 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 Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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: 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: XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information

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

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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.

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

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

NAVigation 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 and the Piper PA32 Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). 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 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”.

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 104X 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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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 website at www.garmin.com/prop65.

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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

•

GDU 1040

– The GDU 1040 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. The GDU 1040 links and displays 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 63W

Integrated Avionics Unit.

•

GIA 63W

(2) – Functions as the main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD. Each GIA 63W contains

a GPS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a ﬂight director (FD) and system integration microprocessors.

The GIA 63W also contains a GPS WAAS receiver. Each GIA is paired with a respective GDU 1040 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 63W, GDU 1040, and GRS 77 using an ARINC 429 digital interface. The GDC 74A also interfaces directly

with the GTP 59. The GDC 74A is designed to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)

airspace.

190-00692-00 Rev. B

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for Piper PA32

1-3

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

•

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

(1) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both the GDU 1040 and the

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 GIAs to obtain GPS information. AHRS modes of operation are discussed later in this document.

•

GMU 44

(1) – 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 1347

– The GMA 1347 Audio Panel integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system, and marker

beacon controls. The GMA 1347 also controls manual display reversionary mode (red

DISPLAY BACKUP

button) and is installed between the MFD and the PFD. The GMA 1347 communicates with both GIA 63Ws

using an RS-232 digital interface.

190-00692-00 Rev. B

Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for Piper PA32

1-4

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

•

GTX 33

(1) – The GTX 33 is a solid-state, Mode-S transponder that provides Modes A, C, and S operation.

The GTX 33 is controlled through the PFD and communicates with both GIA 63Ws through an RS-232 digital

interface.

•

GDL 69/69A

(1) – 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 optional digital audio entertainment. The GDL 69/69A

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

to enable the GDL 69/69A capability.

•

GSA 81

(3), and

GSM 85A

– The GSA 81 servos are used for the automatic control of roll, pitch, and pitch

trim. These units interface with each GIA 63W.

The GSM 85A servo mount is responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 81 servo actuator to the

mechanical ﬂight-control surface linkage.
