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 74 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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 system displays 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: 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 Beechcraft 300/B300 Series
iv
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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:
For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
WARNING:
The Garmin system, 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.
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: Do not use the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. The illustrations in this guide are
only examples. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information
Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding any thunderstorm identified as severe of giving intense radar echo by
at least 20 miles.
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 system within the following
areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications (GRS 77 installations only). 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)

v
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.
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.
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: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately
processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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
: 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.’
NOTE
: When operating the G1000 in DG Free Mode (GRS 7800 installations only), the heading information
used by some system components (e.g. GTS 8000, AFCS, and GWX) will be different from the heading
displayed on the GDU by an amount equal to the difference between the current Magnetic Field Variation
Database (MV DB) value, and the MV DB value when DG Free Mode was activated. Due to the convergence
of isogonic lines, this condition is most noticeable at or near the North and South poles.
Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft 300/B300 Series
vii
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
NOTE
: System navigation utilities may not reliably calculate range and bearing information when the
aircraft is operating north of 80° North latitude or south of 80° South latitude. This may result in the system
displaying small gaps in racetrack holding pattern depictions (GRS 7800 installations only).
NOTE
: The Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) may not operate reliably north of 89º North
latitude and south of 89º South latitude. This is due to limitations present within the Terrain database and
the system’s ability to process the data representing the affected areas (GRS 7800 installations only).

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 74B/7400
(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 1040A, GDU 1040A MFD, and on-side GRS 77/7800, using an ARINC 429
digital interface (it also interfaces directly with the on-side GTP 59). The GDC 74B/7400 is designed to operate
in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace.
•
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.
•
GRS 77/7800

GDU 1040A, the GDU 1040A MFD, and the on-side GIA 63W. The GRS 77/7800 contains advanced sensors
(including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the on-side GMU 44 to obtain magnetic field
information, with the GDC 74B/7400 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 77/7800 for processing to determine
aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the GRS 77 and communicates with the
GRS 77/7800, using an RS-485 digital interface.
•

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.
•
GTX 33/33D/3000
(2) – Solid-state transponders that provide Modes A, C, S and ADS-B capability. Both
transponders can be controlled from either PFD, and only one transponder can be active at a time. Each
transponder communicates with the on-side GIA 63W through an RS-232 digital interface.
•
GDL 69A
(1) – A satellite radio receiver that provides data link weather information to the G1000 MFD (and,
indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital audio entertainment. The GDL 69A communicates with
the MFD via HSDB connection. Subscriptions to the SiriusXM Weather or SiriusXM Satellite Radio services are
required to enable the GDL 69A capability.

•
GTS 800/820/825/850/855/8000
– The GTS 800/820/825 Traffic Advisory System (TAS), GTS 850/855 TCAS
I, and GTS 8000 TCAS II use active interrogations of Mode S and Mode C transponders to provide traffic
information to the pilot independent of the air traffic control system.
•
GRA 5500
(1) – Provides altitude above the ground (AGL) to the MFD, through the GIA 63W, via HSDB
connection.
•
