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, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
190–02339–00 Rev. C Garmin G1000H NXi Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GXi i
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.
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 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 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:
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.
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:
Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing
ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating.
WARNING, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
ii Garmin G1000H NXi Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GXi 190–02339–00 Rev. C
CAUTION: 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: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the Garmin SVT display
or may appear as a partial symbol.
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
utilize 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.
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.
WARNING, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
190–02339–00 Rev. C Garmin G1000H NXi Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GXi iii
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 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.
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’.
WARNING, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
iv Garmin G1000H NXi Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GXi 190–02339–00 Rev. C
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: Terrain and obstacle alerting is not available 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.
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 G1000NXi system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days
of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.
NOTE:
The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special
Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization,
training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart
(approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES
NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure.

xiv Garmin G1000H NXi Pilot's Guide for the Bell 407GXi 190–02339–00 Rev. C
SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section provides an overview of the G1000H NXi Integrated Avionics System as installed in the
Bell 407GXi. 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 LRUs:
GDU 1050H
(2) – The GDUs are configured as a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and a Multi Function
Display (MFD). Both feature 10.4-inch backlit LED screens with 1024 x 768 high resolution. The
displays communicate with each other through a High Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection.
Each display is also paired with an Ethernet connection to an Integrate Avionics Unit (IAU, i.e.
Garmin Integrated Avionics (GIA)).
GIA 64H
(2) – Functions as the main communication hub, linking LRUs to the PFD and MFD. Each
GIA contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a flight director (FD) and system
integration microprocessors. Each GIA is paired with their onside GDU via an HSDB connection.
The GIAs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.
GSU 75H
(1) – Processes data from the pitot/static system as well as the GTP 59 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 GIAs. The
GSU 75H contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with
the GMU 44 to obtain magnetic field information, and with the GIA to obtain GPS information.
ADAHRS modes of operation, including Heading Preset Mode (HPM), are discussed later in this
document.
GEA 71BH
(1) – Receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. This unit
communicates with both GIAs using an RS-485 digital interface.
GMU 44
(1) – Measures local magnetic field. Data is sent to the GSU unit for processing to
determine aircraft magnetic heading. The GMU 44 receives power directly from the GSU unit and
communicates with the GSU using an RS-485 digital interface.
GMA 350Hc
(1) – Integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls.
This unit communicates with both GIAs, using an RS-232 digital interface, and also provides
Bluetooth® wireless connectivity between compatible tablet/mobile devices and the intercom.
GTX 335R
(1)(Standard)/
GTX345R
(Alternate) – The GTX 335R solid-state transponder provides
Modes A, C, S and ADS-B Out capability. As an alternative transponder, the GTX 345R provides the
same capabilities, plus an ADS-B In capability. The transponder can be controlled from the PFD, and
it communicates with the both GIAs through an RS-232 digital interface.
GRA 55
(1)(Optional) – The Radar Altimeter provides altitude above the ground information and
rate of change of radar altitude information.
GDL 59H
(1)(Optional) – Provides wireless connectivity for the transmission of flight parameter
data for trend monitoring and maintenance planning. It is connected to the MFD through the HSDB,

and it also has connectivity with the GSR 56 through a RS-232 bus. GDL 59 can also send its data
while in flight or out of range of a Wi-Fi connection via the optional GSR 56H.
GDL 69AH SXM (1)(Optional) – A satellite radio receiver that provides data link weather
information to both GDUs via an HSDB connection. Subscriptions to the SiriusXM Weather or
SiriusXM Satellite Radio services are required to enable the GDL 69AH SXM capability.
Flight Stream 510 (1)(Optional) – Provides wireless Bluetooth® connectivity between a compatible
tablet/mobile device and the avionics system.
GSR 56H
(1)(Optional) – The Iridium Transceiver operation for voice communication is by means
of pilot and copilot headsets in the cockpit. The transceiver can also send and receive data provided
by the GDL 59H through the RS-232 bus.
GTP 59
(1) – Provides Outside Air Temperature (OAT) data to the GSU
GTS 800
(1)(Optional) – The GTS 800 Traffic Advisory System (TAS) uses active interrogations of
Mode S and Mode C transponders to provide traffic information to the pilot independent of the air
traffic control system.
The following figure shows interactions between the LRUs and optional equipment. The system is
capable of interfacing with the following optional equipment:
