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 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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: 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.

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: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Cessna Caravan 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. 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: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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 Cessna Caravan Pilot’s Operating Handbook. 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: 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 Aeronautical Information

Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identiﬁed as severe or giving an

intense radar echo.

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 anomalies in the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld, operating the system within the following

areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 70° North latitude and south

of 70° South latitude. An area north of 65° North latitude between longitude 75º West and 120º West. An

area south of 55° South latitude between longitude 120º East and 165º East.

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: 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: 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 web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.

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 feet

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.

1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU)

•

GDU 1040A

(3) – Each of the PFDs and the MFD feature a 10.4-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution. The unit

installed on the left/pilot side is designated as PFD1. The unit installed on the right/co-pilot side is designated

as PFD2. The unit installed in the center of the panel is designated as the MFD. These units communicate

with each other and with the GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB)

connection.

•

GIA 63W

(2) – Functions as the main communication hub, linking all LRUs with the displays via HSDB

connections. Each GIA 63W contains a GPS WAAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a ﬂight director

(FD) and system integration microprocessors. The GIA 63Ws are not paired together and do not communicate

with each other directly.

•

GDC 74A

(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, on-side GTP59, and on-side GRS 77, using an ARINC 429 digital interface

(the pilot’s side GDC 74A also interfaces directly with the MFD).

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

(2) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both the on-side GDU 1040A

and the on-side GIA 63W (the pilot-side GRS 77 also interfaces with the MFD). 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 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 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 and RS-232 digital interface.

GSA 80

(2),

GSA 81

(2), GSM 85 (1) and

GSM 85A

(3) – The GSA 80 servos are used for the automatic control

of roll and yaw, while the GSA 81 servos are used for the automatic control of pitch and pitch trim. These units

interface with each GIA 63W via an RS-485 interface.

The GSM 85 and GSM 85A servo mounts are responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 80/81

servo actuator to the mechanical ﬂight-control surface linkage. The GSM 85A servo gearboxes are used when

installed in areas that could experience ice or other contamination. The GSM 85 servo gearbox is used for the

pitch-trim axis, which is installed in a benign enviroment.
