2. System Description

The G1000 NXi system components described in this section are additions or updates to

existing components on the Embraer Phenom 300. This section briefly describes the function of

these components.

2.1 Equipment Descriptions

2.1.1 GCU 477

The GCU 477 controller is shown in Figure 2-1. This is an updated version of the existing GCU

477 controller. The unit location, mounting hardware, and wiring to the aircraft is unchanged

with this new unit. The new GCU 477 includes an analog joystick with improved cursor

movement, map panning, and overall joystick feel. The LED lighting is also updated.

2.1.2 GDU 1250A

The GDU 1250A display unit is shown in Figure 2-2. The GDU 1250A is used as primary flight

displays (PFDs) and multifunction display (MFD), mounted in the cockpit. The GDU 1250As are

an update to the existing GDU 1240As that were originally installed. The new displays have the

same overall dimensions as the previous generation hardware, with physical controls and

labeling being identical to the previous versions. The new GDU 1250A displays contain a new

LED backlight, and updated electronics, including a multi-core microprocessor.

Electronic Checklist

The Electronic Checklists (ECL) function allows the user to view and interact with aircraft

checklists. The Checklist contents are displayed on the GDUs and the checklist control is

performed using the GCU 477. The Garmin Checkset tool is provided by Garmin at no charge to

the aircraft operator to generate and edit the custom checklist files which are saved in the .gcl

format.

NOTE

For the G1000 NXi update, the checklist has to be saved as a “.gcl” file for

the checklist function to work.

The Checkset tool can be downloaded from the Fly.Garmin website at https://fly.garmin.com/fly-

garmin/support/, under the Tools menu select Checklist Editor. The checklist is created or edited

by the OEM/End user without involvement from Garmin. Once the electronic checklist is created

by the OEM/end user, it is then downloaded onto an SD card and inserted into the top or bottom

MFD card slot. Upon power-up, the G1000 system checks the MFD SD cards for any checklist

files and then transfers the electronic checklist to the GDU internal memory. Once the Checklist

is transferred to the GDU, the SD card containing the checklist files can be removed and is no

longer required.

Please note that operational usage of the checklist file may require regulatory approval. The

OEM/Operator is expected to obtain the required approval.

2.1.3 GMA 1360D (optional)

The GMA 1360D audio panel is shown in Figure 2-3. This unit replaces the GMA 1347D audio

panel and there are two per aircraft. The GMA 1360D brings 3D audio, GMA “Blue Mode”, and

Bluetooth connectivity.

• GMA 3D Audio – 3-D audio is used to enhance situational awareness of the flight crew

by separating different audio sources in 3-D space. This allows the flight crew to focus

their attention on an audio source and reduce confusion or delayed response time that

can occur when hearing multiple simultaneous audio sources. 3D audio allows flight

crew members to hear COM audio from individual radios and intercom audio in a

spatially distributed format. The 3D audio feature can be toggled on or off by the pilot for

all headset positions. The selected mode will be communicated via an aural output.

• GMA Blue Mode – Non-flight audio (TEL, MUS1, and MUS2) is distributed to crew and

passengers without regard to ICS settings. These distributions are managed via Blue

Select mode. Pressing the inner volume knob activates Blue Select mode. When active,

the key annunciator of the selected source being distributed will be flashing and the key

annunciator of all headset positions currently receiving that source will also be

annunciated (solid) in blue. Pressing any of the ICS buttons will enable/disable the

headset positions from receiving the selected audio. Pressing any of the TEL, MUS1, or

MUS2 buttons will change that audio source to the selected source being adjusted by

the Blue Select mode. The outer knob will also change the selected entertainment audio

source. The CREW ICS will control the audio on the onside headset only, as each crew

member has their own GMA to manage distribution to themselves. PASS ICS will control

the passenger audio. The state of passenger audio distribution is shared between the

audio panels so that all passengers hear the same audio, regardless of to which GMA

they are physically connected.

2.1.4 FS 510

The FS 510 (Flight Stream 510) wireless data card is shown in Figure 2-4. The FS 510 is an

SD card that installs into the MFD in the aircraft cockpit. The FS510 offers the addition of Wi-Fi

and Bluetooth connectivity for activities such as flight plan transfers and data output to carry-on

devices such as tablets and electronic flight bags. This data may be in the form of GPS

information, weather, aircraft traffic, or other items for flight crew use.

2.1.5 GWX 75 (Optional)

The optional GWX 75 weather radar is shown in Figure 2-5. The GWX 75 and 12” antenna

array replaces the existing GWX 68 or GWX 70 weather radar and provides turbulence

2.4 Electrical Bonding

For the purposes of this STC, aircraft ground reference definitions vary according to airframe

type, as defined in Table 2-2. Refer to the periodic test and reconditioned resistance values

corresponding to these ground reference definitions when performing the equipment bonding

tests in Section 4.5.3.

The periodic test value is the value allowed during the bonding checks specified in Section

4.5.3. The reconditioned value is the value allowed on initial installation or if the bond must be

reworked if the periodic test value is exceeded.

Refer to SAE ARP 1870 Section 2.4.2 when surface preparation is required to achieve electrical

bond.

NOTE

Bonding checks are performed with harness connectors connected for all

equipment except for the GWX 75 (If installed). GWX 75 bonding checks

are to be accomplished with the harness connectors disconnected.

2.4.1 Consideration for Untreated or Bare Dissimilar Metals

The correct material finish is important when mating untreated or bare dissimilar metals.

Materials should be galvanically compatible. When corrosion protection is removed to make an

electrical bond any exposed area after the bond is completed should be protected again.

Additional guidance can be found in SAE ARP 1870 Section 5. Typical electrical bonding

preparation examples are shown in Figure 2-7, Figure 2-8, and Figure 2-9.

2.4.2 Preparation of Aluminum Surfaces

The following general procedure is recommended to prepare an aluminum surface for proper

electrical bonding.

1. Clean grounding location with solvent.

2. Remove non-conductive films or coatings from the grounding location.

3. Apply a chemical conversion coat such as Alodine 1200 to the bare metal.

4. Once the chemical conversion coat is dry, clean the area.

5. Install bonding equipment at grounding location.

6. After bond is complete, if any films or coatings were removed from the surface, reapply a

suitable film or coating to the surrounding area within 24 hours.

After satisfactory electrical bond is achieved, when it has been necessary to remove any high-

resistance protective coating, the area from which the coating has been removed should be

refinished with the same finish as is on the rest of the part within 24 hours. In cases where the

parts come in with certain areas spot-faced, or if there is no finish on the part (bare metal), apply

conformal coating over the bond joint and hardware per MIL-I-46058 or clear lacquer per TT-L-

20A to facilitate future inspection. Refer to the model specific Aircraft Maintenance Manual or

Standard Practices Manual for surface protection requirements applicable to affected areas.

The correct material finish is important when mating untreated or bare dissimilar metals. They

should be galvanically compatible. When corrosion protection is removed to make an electrical

bond, any exposed area after the bond is completed should be protected again. Additional

guidance can be found in SAE ARP 1870 Section 5.

For a more detailed procedure, refer to SAE ARP 1870 Sections 5.1 and 5.5.

3. Control and Operation

3.1 Configuration Mode Overview

Throughout this document, references are made to the PFD1, PFD2, and/or MFD being in

configuration mode. The configuration mode exists to provide the avionics technician with a

means of configuring, checking, and calibrating various G1000 Nxi sub-systems.

Troubleshooting and diagnostics information can be viewed in this mode.

To start the G1000 Nxi system in configuration mode, follow these steps;

1. With the G1000 Nxi system off, open the MFD PWR 1, MFD PWR 2, PFD 1 and PFD 2

circuit breakers.

2. In accordance with AFM electrical system recommendation, connect external power to

the aircraft and energize the battery electrical busses.

3. Press and hold the ENT key on PFD 2 (copilot) and close the PFD 2 circuit breaker.

4. Release the ENT key after ‘INITIALIZING SYSTEM’ appears in the upper left corner of

PFD 2.

5. Press and hold the #12 (far right) softkey on the MFD and close the MFD PWR 1 circuit

breaker.

6. Release the #12 softkey after ‘INITIALIZING SYSTEM’ appears in the upper left corner

of MFD.

7. Press and hold the ENT key on PFD 1 (pilot) and close the PFD 1 circuit breaker.

8. Release the ENT key after ‘INITIALIZING SYSTEM’ appears in the upper left corner of

PFD 1.

IMPORTANT

The Configuration Mode contains certain pages and settings that are

critical to aircraft operation and safety. These pages are protected and

cannot be modified unless the technician is properly authorized and

equipped. Most protected page content is viewable to allow system

awareness for troubleshooting.

NOTE

If the specific procedure requires an SD card to be in the top slot of the

PFD/MFD, this card must be inserted prior to applying power to the

PFD/MFD. Any time a card is inserted, the power to the PFD/MFD must

be cycled.

If a software loader card is inserted in the top slot of the display before it is

powered on, the display will automatically enter configuration mode and the

technician does not need to press and hold a softkey at power-on.

For a complete description and breakdown of each Configuration Mode page, refer to the

G1000 System Maintenance Manual listed in Table 1-2.
