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: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as the sole source of obstacle

and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum

clearance altitudes.

WARNING: Do not operate this equipment without ﬁrst obtaining qualiﬁed instruction.

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 rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/DH when ﬂying 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.

Garmin G1000 NXi Pilot’s Guide for the Cessna Nav III

190-02177-01 Rev. Aii

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

WARNING: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications in the following geographic

areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld): 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 use SurfaceWatch

™

information as the primary method of ﬂight guidance during airborne

or ground operations. SurfaceWatch does not have NOTAM or ATIS information regarding the current active

runway, condition, or information about the position of hold lines.

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: 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 use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only

to enhance situational awareness.

CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing ammonia. They will

harm the anti-reﬂective coating.

C

AUTION: Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than 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 use 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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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.

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

POHs 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.’

Garmin G1000 NXi Pilot’s Guide for the Cessna Nav III

190-02177-01 Rev. Aiv

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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: Electronic aeronautical charts displayed on this system have been shown to meet the guidance in AC

120 76D as a Type B Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for FlightCharts and ChartView. The accuracy of the charts

is subject to the chart data provider. Own-ship position on airport surface charts cannot be guaranteed to

meet the accuracy speciﬁed in AC 120-76D. Possible additional requirements may make a secondary source

of aeronautical charts, such as traditional paper charts or an additional electronic display, necessary on the

aircraft and available to the pilot. If the secondary source of aeronautical charts is a Portable Electronic

Device (PED), its use must be consistent with the guidance in AC 120-76D.

NOTE: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the Garmin SVT display or may appear as

a partial symbol.

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.

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 Cessna

Nav III. The system presents ﬂight instrumentation, position, navigation, communication, and identiﬁcation

information to the pilot through large-format displays.

LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

The system consists of the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):

•

GDU 1054B/1050

(2) – The system features two 10.4-inch backlit LED display units with high resolution.

The left display is conﬁgured as a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the right display is conﬁgured as an Multi

Function Display (MFD). The displays communicate with each other through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB)

connection. Each display is also connected to the onside Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU). Systems conﬁgured

with the Garmin Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) use the GDU 1054B. Systems without the Garmin

AFCS use the GDU 1050.

•

GIA 63W / GIA 64W

(2) – The GIA Integrated Avionics Units (IAU) function as the main communication

hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD and MFD. Each IAU contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS

receivers, a ﬂight director (FD) and system integration microprocessors. Each IAU is paired with the PFD and

MFD via HSDB connection.

•

GSU 75

(1) – The GSU Air Data and Attitude Reference System (ADAHRS) processes data from the pitot/

static system as well as the Outside Air Temperature (OAT) probe to provide pressure altitude, airspeed,

vertical speed and OAT information to the system. This unit also provides aircraft attitude and heading

information via ARINC 429 to the PFD, MFD, and IAU. The ADAHRS contains advanced sensors (including

accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the Magnetometer to obtain magnetic ﬁeld information,

and with the IAUs to obtain GPS information. ADAHRS/AHRS modes of operation are discussed later in this

document.

•

GMU 44

(1) – The GMU Magnetometer measures local magnetic ﬁeld. Data is sent to the ADAHRS for

processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. The unit receives power directly from the ADAHRS and

communicates with the GRS unit using an RS-485 digital interface.

•

GDC 74A

(1) (Optional) – The GDC Air Data Computer (ADC) 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 IAUs, the PFD, MFD, and the Attitude and Heading Reference

System (AHRS), using an ARINC 429 digital interface (it also interfaces directly with the Air Temperature

Probe. The unit is designed to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace.

•

GRS 77

(1) (Optional) – The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) provides aircraft attitude and

heading information via ARINC 429 to both displays and both IAUs. The unit contains advanced sensors

(including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the Magnetometer to obtain magnetic ﬁeld

information, with the GDC 74A to obtain air data, and with both IAUs to obtain GPS information.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

•

GEA 71 / GEA 71B

(1) – The GEA Engine Airframe Unit receives and processes signals from the engine and

airframe sensors. This unit communicates with both IAUs using an RS-485 digital interface.

•

GMA 1347 / GMA 1360

(1) – The GMA Audio Panel integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system

and marker beacon controls. This unit also enables the manual control of the display reversionary mode (red

DISPLAY BACKUP

button) and communicates with the #1 IAU, using an HSDB connection. The optional

GMA 1360 offers Bluetooth® capability.

•

GTX 335R/345R/33ES

(1) – The GTX 335R Transponder is a solid-state transponder that provides Mode A,

C, S capability. The optional GTX 345R also provides ADS-B In/Out. The transponder can be controlled

from the PFD. The transponder communicates with the both IAUs through an RS-232 digital interface.

•

GSA 81

(3), and

GSM 86/85/85A

(3) – The GSA Servos are used for the automatic control of roll, pitch, and

pitch trim. These units interface with each IAU.

The GSM 86/85/85A servo gearbox is responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 81 servo

actuator to the mechanical ﬂight-control surface linkage.

•

GSR 56

(1) (Optional) – The GSR Iridium Transceiver operation for voice communication is by means of

pilot and copilot headsets in the cockpit. The transceiver can provide Garmin Connext Weather and SMS

functions.

•

Flight Stream 510

(1) (Optional) – The Flight Stream Bluetooth Transceiver provides wireless connectivity

between a compatible tablet/mobile device and the avionics system. GPS, ADAHRS, ADS-B, trafﬁc, SiriusXM

audio, and 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 be performed using the Flight Stream 510 WiFi link.

•

GDL 69A / GDL 69A SXM

(1) (Optional) – The GDL SiriusXM Datalink Receiver provides data link weather

information to the MFD and, indirectly, to the PFD map as well as digital audio entertainment. The unit

communicates with the MFD via HSDB connection. Subscriptions to SiriusXM Weather or SiriusXM Satellite

Radio are required to enable services.

•

GTS 800

(Optional) – The GTS Trafﬁc Advisory System (TAS) uses active interrogations of Mode S and Mode

C transponders to provide Trafﬁc Advisories to the pilot independent of the air trafﬁc control system.

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:
