TABLE OF CONTENTS Blank Page x Garmin G1000H™ Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX 190-01255-00 Rev.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This section provides an overview of the G1000H Integrated Flight Deck as installed in the Bell 407GX. The G1000H system is an integrated flight control system that presents flight instrumentation, position, navigation, communication, and identification information to the pilot through large-format displays.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU) • GDU 1040H (2) – One unit is configured as a PFD, the other as an MFD, each featuring a 10.4-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution. The unit installed on the right/pilot side is designated as the PFD, and the one installed on the left/copilot side is designated as the MFD. These units communicate with each other and with the onside GIA 63H Integrated Avionics Unit through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GSC 46 (1) – The GSC 46 is a signal conditioner which converts tachometer and engine torque information to a digital format for use by the GEA 71H. • GRS 77H (1) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both GDU 1040H units and the both GIA 63H units.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GDL 69AH (1) – A satellite radio receiver that provides real-time weather information to the G1000H MFD (and, indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital audio entertainment. The GDL 69AH communicates with the MFD via HSDB connection. A subscription to the XM Satellite Radio service is required to enable the GDL 69AH capability. • GDL 59H (1) – GDL 59H operation is performed with the MFD through the HSDB.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GA 58 (2) – The GA 58 are directional antennas for the Traffic Avoidance System. One top-mounted directional antenna is required. Optional bottom mounted antenna offers better threat visibility. • GA 36 (1) and GA 37 (1) – The GA 36 is a through-mount GPS/SBAS antenna. The GA 37 is a through-mount GPS/SBAS antenna with XM/Data Link.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.3 G1000H CONTROLS NOTE: The Audio Panel (GMA 350) are described in the CNS & Audio Panel. The G1000H system controls are located on the PFD and MFD bezels and audio panel. The controls for the PFD and MFD are discussed within the following pages of this section. PFD CONTROLS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 13 11 14 12 15 16 18 17 Figure 1-2 PFD/MFD Controls The following list provides an overview of the controls located on the PFD bezel (see Figure 1-2).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 SECURE DIGITAL CARDS NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for instructions on updating the aviation database. NOTE: Ensure that the G1000H system is powered off before inserting the SD card. The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the top right portion of the display bezels. Each display bezel is equipped with two SD card slots. SD cards are used for aviation database and system software updates as well as terrain database storage.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations. NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: See the Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. The G1000H system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION NOTE: In normal operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD. In reversionary mode, it can be adjusted from the remaining display. The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. Each IAU is connected to a single display, as shown in Figure 1-1. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration..
SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION NOTE: The G1000H System alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to Appendix A for further information regarding system-specific alerts. In the event of a display failure, the G1000H System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while the AHRS is not operating normally can degrade AHRS accuracy. In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77H AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE A failure of the air data input has no effect on AHRS output while AHRS is operating in normal mode. A failure of the air data input while the AHRS is operating in reversionary No-GPS mode results in invalid attitude and heading information on the PFD (as indicated by red “X” flags). MAGNETOMETER FAILURE If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS transitions to one of the reversionary No-Magnetometer modes and continues to output valid attitude information.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW SOFTKEY FUNCTION The softkeys are located along the bottoms of the displays. The softkeys shown depend on the softkey level or page being displayed. The bezel keys below the softkeys can be used to select the appropriate softkey. When a softkey is selected, its color changes to black text on gray background and remains this way until it is turned off, at which time it reverts to white text on black background.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.1 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AIRSPEED INDICATOR NOTE: Refer to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for speed criteria. The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a moving tape rolling number gauge. The groundspeed is displayed in knots below the Airspeed Indicator. The numeric labels and major tick marks on the moving tape are marked at intervals of 10 knots. The minor tick marks on the moving tape are indicated at intervals of five knots.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ATTITUDE INDICATOR Attitude information is displayed over a virtual blue sky and brown ground with a white horizon line. The Attitude Indicator displays the pitch, roll, and slip/skid information. 9 8 1 7 2 6 3 4 5 1 Roll Pointer 2 Roll Scale 3 Horizon Line 4 Aircraft Symbol 5 Land Representation 6 Pitch Scale 7 Slip/Skid Indicator 8 Sky Representation 9 Roll Scale Zero Figure 2-6 Attitude Indicator The horizon line is part of the pitch scale.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ALTIMETER The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a moving tape rolling number gauge. Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer. The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa) when metric units are selected. Adjusting the altimeter barometric setting creates discontinuities in VNV vertical deviation, moving the descent path. For large adjustments, it may take several minutes for the aircraft to re-establish on the descent path.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS A Baro Transition Alert is provided to alert the pilot to change the barometric pressure setting when crossing the transition altitude in either direction. This is displayed by the flashing light blue barometric pressure setting when crossing the transition altitude. Setting the Baro Transition Alert: 1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD. 2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL DEVIATION NOTE: The Glidepath Indicator is only shown for aircraft with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units when SBAS is available. The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) is a magenta chevron indicating the baro-VNV vertical deviation when Vertical Navigation (VNV) is being used (Figure 2-12). The VDI appears in conjunction with the “TOD within 1 minute” alert. The VDI is removed from the display if vertical deviation becomes invalid.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI) The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a rotating compass card in a heading-up orientation. Letters indicate the cardinal points and numeric labels occur every 30˚. Major tick marks are at 10˚ intervals and minor tick marks at 5˚ intervals. A digital reading of the current heading appears on top of the HSI, and the current track is represented on the HSI by a magenta diamond.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Arc HSI is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass rose. The Arc HSI contains a Course Pointer, combined To/From Indicator and a sliding deviation indicator, and a deviation scale. Upon station passage, the To/From Indicator flips and points to the tail of the aircraft, just like a conventional To/From flag. Depending on the navigation source, the CDI on the Arc HSI can appear in two different ways, an arrowhead (GPS, VOR, OBS) or a diamond (LOC).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are set on the AUX - System Setup Page and are either corrected to the computed magnetic variation (‘Mag Var’), referenced to true north (denoted ‘T’), or corrected according to user input (denoted ‘U’). When an approach referenced to true north has been loaded into the flight plan, the system generates a message to change the navigation angle setting to ‘True’ at the appropriate time.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS TURN RATE INDICATOR The Turn Rate Indicator is located directly above the rotating compass card. Tick marks to the left and right of the lubber line denote half-standard and standard turn rates. A magenta Turn Rate Trend Vector shows the current turn rate. The end of the trend vector gives the heading predicted in 6 seconds, based on the present turn rate.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS When a bearing pointer is displayed, its associated information window is also displayed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HEADING PRESET MODE Heading Preset Mode allows AHRS to compute heading data without using the magnetic sensing device. If a magnet anomaly occurs (either due to interference or magnetometer failure), and Heading Preset Mode is available, an alert will be provided in the alerts window. The heading refence for this mode is a pilot-entered value. Activating Heading Preset Mode: 1) Select the PFD Softkey. 2) Select the SET HDG Softkey.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI) NOTE: During a heading change of greater than 105˚ with respect to the course, the CDI on the Arc HSI switches to the opposite side of the deviation scale and displays reverse sensing. The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or right from the course pointer along a lateral deviation scale to display aircraft position relative to the course. If the course deviation data is not valid, the CDI is not displayed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Changing navigation sources: 1) Select the CDI Softkey to change from GPS to VOR1 or LOC1. This places the light blue tuning box over the NAV1 standby frequency in the upper left corner of the PFD. 2) Select the CDI Softkey again to change from VOR1 or LOC1 to VOR2 or LOC2. This places the light blue tuning box over the NAV2 standby frequency. 3) Select the CDI Softkey a third time to return to GPS.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS GPS CDI SCALING When GPS is the selected navigation source, the flight plan legs are sequenced automatically and annunciations appear on the HSI for the flight phase. Flight phase annunciations are normally shown in magenta, but when cautionary conditions exist the color changes to yellow. If the current leg in the flight plan is a heading leg, ‘HDG LEG’ is annunciated in magenta beneath the aircraft symbol.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS OBS MODE NOTE: VNV is inhibited while automatic waypoint sequencing has been suspended. Enabling Omni-bearing Selector (OBS) Mode suspends the automatic sequencing of waypoints in a GPS flight plan (GPS must be the selected navigation source), but retains the current “active-to” waypoint as the navigation reference even after passing the waypoint. ‘OBS’ is annunciated to the lower right of the aircraft symbol when OBS Mode is selected.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS As the aircraft crosses the missed approach point (MAP), automatic approach waypoint sequencing is suspended. ‘SUSP’ appears on the HSI at the lower right of the aircraft symbol. The OBS Softkey label changes to indicate the suspension is active as shown in Figure 2-33. Selecting the SUSP Softkey, deactivates the suspension and resumes automatic sequencing of approach waypoints.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.2 SUPPLEMENTAL FLIGHT DATA NOTE: Selecting the DFLTS Softkey turns off metric Altimeter display, the Inset Map, and wind data display. In addition to the flight instruments, the PFD also displays various supplemental information, including temperatures, wind data, and Vertical Navigation (VNV) indications.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WIND DATA Wind direction and speed (relative to the aircraft) in knots can be displayed in a window to the upper left of the HSI.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AIRWAYS This airways discussion is based upon the North American airway structure. The airway structure in places other than North America vary by location, etc. and are not discussed in this book. Low Altitude Airways (or Victor Airways) primarily serve smaller piston-engine, propeller-driven airplanes on shorter routes and at lower altitudes. Airways are eight nautical miles wide and start 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) and extend up to 18,000 feet mean sea level (MSL).
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT Airways may be displayed on the map at the pilot’s discretion using either a combination of AIRWAYS Softkey presses, or menu selections using the MENU Key from the Navigation Map Page. The Airway range can also be programmed to only display Airways on the MFD when the map range is at or below a specific number. Displaying/removing airways: 1) Select the MAP Softkey. 2) Select the AIRWAYS Softkey. Both High and Low Altitude Airways are displayed (AIRWY ON).

WSR-88D, or NEXRAD (NEXt-generation RADar), is a network of 158 high-resolution Doppler radar systems that are operated by the National Weather Service (NWS). NEXRAD data provides centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations. The maximum range of a single NEXRAD radar site is 250 nm.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Displaying NEXRAD weather information: 1) Select the MAP Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, select the INSET Softkey). This step is not necessary on the Weather Data Link (XM) Page. 2) Select the NEXRAD Softkey. Composite data from all the NEXRAD radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is composed of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE NEXRAD Limitations NEXRAD radar images may have certain limitations: • NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (wet hail vs. rain). For example, it is not possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain. • NEXRAD base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual NEXRAD site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE NEXRAD Limitations (Canada) • Radar coverage extends to 55ºN. • Any precipitation displayed between 52ºN and 55ºN is displayed as mixed because it is unknown. No Coverage Above 55ºN Precipitation Above 52ºN Displays as Mixed Figure 6-13 NEXRAD Data - Canada 190-01255-00 Rev.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE ECHO TOPS NOTE: Display of Echo Tops cannot be displayed at the same time as Cloud Tops and NEXRAD. Echo Tops data (Figure 6-14) shows the location, elevation, and direction of the highest radar echo. The highest radar echo does not indicate the top of a storm or clouds; rather it indicates the highest altitude at which precipitation is detected. Information is derived from NEXRAD data.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE The display of radar coverage is always active when either NEXRAD or ECHO TOPS is selected. Areas where NEXRAD radar coverage and Echo Tops information is not currently available or is not being collected are indicated in gray shade of purple. CLOUD TOPS NOTE: Cloud Tops and Echo Tops cannot be displayed at the same time. Cloud Tops data (Figure 6-16) depicts cloud top altitudes as determined from satellite imagery.

NOTE: Pathways are not available when the cross-pointer (X-Pointer) flight director format is selected.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Selected Altitude Programmed Altitudes Figure 8-4 Programmed and Selected Altitude Pathways provide supplemental glidepath/glideslope information on an active ILS, LPV, LNAV/VNAV, and some LNAV approaches. Pathways are intended as an aid to situational awareness and should not be used independent of the CDI, VDI, glide path indicator, and glide slope indicator. They are removed from the display when the selected navigation information is not available.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Descent and Approach Pathways are shown descending only for a programmed descent (Figures 8-5, 8-6). When the flight plan includes programmed descent segments, pathways are displayed along the descent path provided that the selected altitude is lower than the programmed altitude.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Missed Approach Upon activating the missed approach, pathways lead to the Missed Approach Holding Point (MAHP) and are displayed as a level path at the published altitude for the MAHP, or the selected altitude, whichever is the highest. If the initial missed approach leg is a Course-to-Altitude (CA) leg, the pathways boxes will be displayed level at the altitude published for the MAHP.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES FLIGHT PATH MARKER NOTE: The Flight Path Marker is not available when the cross-pointer (X-Pointer) flight director format is selected. The Flight Path Marker (FPM), also known as a Velocity Vector, is displayed on the PFD at groundspeeds above 30 knots. The FPM depicts the approximate projected path of the aircraft accounting for wind speed and direction relative to the three-dimensional terrain display. The FPM is always available when the Synthetic Terrain feature is in operation.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES HORIZON HEADING The Horizon Heading is synchronized with the HSI and shows approximately 60 degrees of compass heading in 30‑degree increments on the Zero Pitch Line.

Horizon Heading is used for general heading awareness, and is activated and deactivated by pressing the HRZN HDG Softkey. TRAFFIC WARNING: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES RUNWAYS WARNING: Do not use SVS 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. NOTE: Not all airports have runways with endpoint data in the database, therefore, these runways are not displayed. Runway data provides improved awareness of runway location with respect to the surrounding terrain.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES HTAWS ALERTING Terrain alerting on the synthetic terrain display is triggered by Forward-looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA). When an obstacle becomes a potential impact point the color of the obstacle matches the red or yellow X displayed on the MFD HTAWS Page. For more detailed information regarding HTAWS, refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section. In some instances, a terrain or obstacle alert may be issued with no conflict shading displayed on the synthetic terrain.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Obstacles are represented on the synthetic terrain display by standard two-dimensional tower symbols as found on MFD HTAWS Page and charts. Obstacle symbols appear in the perspective view with relative height above terrain and distance from the aircraft. Unlike on the MFD HTAWS Page, obstacles on the synthetic terrain display do not change colors to warn of potential conflict with the aircraft’s flight path until the obstacle is associated with an actual FLTA alert.

The flight plan has been imported, but must be edited within the system before it can be activated for use. ‘User waypoint database full. Not all loaded.’ The flight plan file on the SD card contains user waypoints.
APPENDIX B DATABASE MANAGEMENT CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interuption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system. The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen navigation and ChartView database updates. Not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000H.
APPENDIX B Updating the active Jeppesen navigation database (not using the Dual Navigation Database or Automatic Database Synchronization Features): 1) With the system OFF, insert the SD card containing the new navigation database version into the top card slot of the display (PFD or MFD) to be updated (label of SD card facing left). 2) Turn the system ON.
APPENDIX B DUAL NAVIGATION DATABASE FEATURE The dual navigation database feature allows each display to store an upcoming navigation database on the bottom SD card so that the system can automatically load it to replace the active database when the new database becomes effective (the next cycle becomes available seven days prior to its effective date).
APPENDIX B 5) After the navigation database files are copied to the bottom SD card, the display will appear as shown in Figure B-4. Figure B-4 Standby Navigation Database Update Complete 6) As instructed on the display, press any key to continue. The display will now appear as shown in Figure B-5.

APPENDIX B Since these databases are not stored internally in the displays, a Supplemental Data Card containing identical database versions must be kept in each display unit. The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as rivers, lakes, and towns. It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is no expiration date. The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. These databases are updated periodically and have no expiration date.
APPENDIX B The synchronization progress may be monitored on the AUX-System Status Page in the Sync Status section of the Database Window (Figure B-8). This section shows the synchronization status of each applicable database, including the percent complete, time remaining, and to which displays the databases are being copied. When the synchronization is complete, the status is listed as ‘Complete’, followed by the displays to which the databases were copied.
APPENDIX B Error Message Description Canceled Database synchronization has been canceled by removing the bottom SD card in display being updated Card Full SD card does not contain sufficient memory Err Displayed for all other errors that may cause the synchronization process to be halted Timeout System timed-out prior to the database transfer completing Table B-1 Database Synchronization Error Messages UPDATING GARMIN DATABASES The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detai

APPENDIX D FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS If a particular aspect of G1000H operational capability is not addressed by these commonly asked questions or in the index, contact Garmin (see the copyright page or back cover for contact information) or a Garminauthorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. What is SBAS? The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors.
APPENDIX D For RAIM to work correctly, the GPS receiver must track at least five satellites. A minimum of six satellites is required to allow RAIM to eliminate a single corrupt satellite from the navigation solution. RAIM ensures that satellite geometry allows for a navigation solution calculation within a specified protection limit (2.0 nm for oceanic and en route, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches).
APPENDIX D Normal (OBS not activated) • Automatic sequencing of waypoints OBS • Manual sequencing - ‘holds’ on selected waypoint • Manual course change on HSI not possible • Manually select course to waypoint from HSI • Always navigates ‘TO’ the active waypoint • Indicates ‘TO’ or ‘FROM’ waypoint • Must be in this mode for final approach course • Cannot be set for final approach course or published holding patterns When OBS mode is active, the G1000H allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from
APPENDIX D When does the CDI scale change? Once a departure is activated, the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) full scale deflection is set to 0.3 nm. The CDI scale changes to 1.0 nm (terminal mode) then ramps up to 2.0 nm (enroute mode) at 30 nm from the departure airport. When 31 nm from the destination, the CDI scale smoothly transition from 2.0 nm back to 1.0 nm (terminal mode). At 2.
APPENDIX E GENERAL TIS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides traffic advisory information to non-TAS/TCAS-equipped aircraft. TIS is a ground-based service providing the relative locations of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification.
APPENDIX E WARNING: Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations is the responsibility of the FAA. Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. NOTE: TIS is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep.
