SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION NOTE: Refer to the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) Section for details on the GFC 700 AFCS. This section is designed to provide an overview of the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck as installed in Columbia 350/400 aircraft. The G1000 is an integrated ﬂight deck system that presents ﬂight instrumentation, position, navigation, communication, and identiﬁcation information to the pilot using ﬂat-panel color displays.
PAGE 12
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS • GDU 1040/1042 (2) – The GDU 1040 is conﬁgured as a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the GDU 1042 as a Multi Function Display (MFD). Both displays feature 10.4-inch LCD screens with 1024 x 768 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 IAU.
PAGE 13
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GIA 63 (2) – The Integrated Avionics Units (IAU) function as the main communications hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD. Each IAU contains VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers and system integration microprocessors and is paired with the on-side display via a HSDB connection. The IAUs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly. • GDC 74 – The Air Data Computer (ADC) processes data from the pitot/static system and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor.
PAGE 14
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GRS 77 (2) – The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both the PFD and the primary IAU. The AHRS contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the Magnetometer to obtain magnetic ﬁeld information, with the ADC to obtain air data, and with both IAUs to obtain GPS information. AHRS operation is discussed in Section 1.5, System Operation.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.3 SECURE DIGITAL (SD) CARDS NOTE: Ensure the G1000 System is powered off before inserting an SD card. NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for instructions on updating the aviation database. The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the upper right side 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.
PAGE 18
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 SYSTEM POWER-UP NOTE: See the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for speciﬁc procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for system-speciﬁc annunciations and alerts. The G1000 System is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses.
PAGE 19
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 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. As shown in Figure 1-1, each IAU is connected to the on-side display. This section discusses normal and reversionary G1000 display operation, as well as the various AHRS modes and G1000 System Annunciations.
PAGE 20
SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION NOTE: The G1000 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 G1000 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.
PAGE 21
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for speciﬁc AHRS alert information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) performs attitude, heading, and vertical acceleration calculations for the G1000 System, utilizing GPS, magnetometer, and air data in addition to information from its internal sensors.
PAGE 22
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE Failure of the air data input has no effect on the AHRS output while AHRS is receiving valid GPS information. Invalid/unavailable airspeed data in addition to GPS failure results in loss of all attitude and heading information. G1000 SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS NOTE: For a detailed description of all annunciations and alerts, refer to Appendix A. Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations.

This switch may be used to mute the aural autopilot disconnect alert.
PAGE 320
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION The ﬂight director function provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and displays them on the PFD. With the ﬂight director activated, the aircraft can be hand-ﬂown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars. The ﬂight director also provides commands to the autopilot. ACTIVATING THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR Pressing the FD or AP Key (when the ﬂight director is not active) activates the ﬂight director in default pitch/ roll modes.
PAGE 321
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM COMMAND BARS Upon activation of the ﬂight director, Command Bars are displayed on the PFD as a single cue. The Command Bars move together vertically to indicate pitch commands, and bank left or right to indicate roll commands. If the attitude information sent to the ﬂight director becomes invalid or unavailable, the Command Bars are removed from the display.
PAGE 322
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.3 FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES NOTE: If the information required to compute a ﬂight director mode becomes invalid or unavailable, the ﬂight director automatically reverts to the default mode for that axis. If the attitude information required to compute the default ﬂight director modes becomes invalid or unavailable, the ﬂight director automatically disengages. Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes.
PAGE 323
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM PITCH MODES The GFC 700 AFCS offers the following pitch modes: • Pitch Hold (default mode) – Holds the current aircraft pitch attitude while the aircraft is climbing/descending to the Selected Altitude • Altitude Hold – Holds the current aircraft altitude • Vertical Speed – Maintains the current aircraft vertical speed while the aircraft is climbing/descending to the Selected Altitude • Flight Level Change – Maintains the current aircraft airspeed while the aircraft is climb
PAGE 324
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM PITCH HOLD MODE (PIT) When the ﬂight director is activated (the FD Key is pressed), Pitch Hold Mode is selected by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated by the green annunciation ‘PIT’ in the active pitch mode ﬁeld.

NOTE: When intercepting a ﬂight plan leg, the ﬂight director will give commands to capture the active leg at approximately a 45° angle to the track between the waypoints deﬁning the active leg.
PAGE 334
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH (GPS, VAPP, LOC) MODE Approach Mode is activated when the APR Key is pressed. Approach Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation receiver on the HSI (GPS, VOR, or LOC). The mode annunciation corresponding to the selected navigation receiver (with the exception of VOR, which is annunciated ‘VAPP’ to indicate VOR Approach Mode) is displayed in the AFCS Status Box.
PAGE 335
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.4 AUTOPILOT OPERATION The Columbia 350/400’s autopilot operates ﬂight control surface servos to provide automatic ﬂight control. The autopilot controls the aircraft pitch and roll attitudes following commands received from the ﬂight director. Pitch autotrim provides trim commands to the pitch trim adapter to relieve any sustained effort required by the pitch servo.
PAGE 336
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT NOTE: Autopilot engagement/disengagement is not equivalent to servo engagement/disengagement. Use the CWS Button to disengage the pitch and roll servos while the autopilot remains active. When the AP Key is pressed, the autopilot and ﬂight director (if not already engaged) are activated. Engagement is indicated by a green ‘AP’ annunciation in the center of the AFCS Status Box.
PAGE 337
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DISENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT Automatic disengagement occurs due to: • System failure • Invalid sensor data • Inability to compute default ﬂight director modes (FD also disengages automatically) • Stall warning Automatic autopilot disengagement is indicated by a ﬂashing red ‘AP’ annunciation and by the autopilot disconnect aural alert, which continue until acknowledged by pushing the AP DISC or MET Switch.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.5 EXAMPLE PROCEDURES NOTE: The diagrams in this section are for instructional purposes only and should not be used for navigation. This section provides a scenario-based set of procedures showing various GFC 700 AFCS modes used during a ﬂight. In this scenario, the aircraft departs Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV) from runway 13L, enroute to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT).
PAGE 339
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DEPARTURE Climbing to the Selected Altitude and ﬂying an assigned heading: 1) Upon takeoff, set the Selected Altitude to 7000 feet using the ALT Knob. To have the autopilot capture this altitude, use Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode. In this example, Vertical Speed Mode is used. 2) Upon reaching the desired vertical speed of 1000 fpm, enable the ﬂight director in Vertical Speed Mode. a) Press the VS Key. Altitude Hold Mode is armed automatically.
PAGE 340
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INTERCEPTING A VOR During climb-out, the autopilot continues to ﬂy the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V107 to Panoche VORTAC (PXN) should now be intercepted. Intercepting a VOR: 1) Tune the VOR frequency and activate Navigation Mode. a) Use the CDI Softkey to set the HSI navigation source to VOR. b) Use the CRS Knob to set the Selected Course to 116°. Note that at this point, the ﬂight director is still in Heading Select Mode and the autopilot continues to ﬂy 070°.
PAGE 341
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLYING A FLIGHT PLAN/GPS COURSE NOTE: Changing the HSI navigation mode cancels the ﬂight director’s Navigation Mode and causes the ﬂight director to automatically revert to Roll Hold Mode, wings level. As the aircraft closes on Panoche VORTAC, a GPS ﬂight plan is entered for the next leg, airway V230. To do this, PXN, CZQ, and KFAT are entered into the active ﬂight plan. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on the 116° radial of Panoche VORTAC.
PAGE 342
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE DESCENT While ﬂying the GPS leg from Panoche VORTAC to Clovis VORTAC, the aircraft is cleared to make a descent to 3000 feet in preparation for the approach to KFAT. Making a Flight Level Change descent: 1) Enter Flight Level Change Mode. a) Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude to 3000 feet. b) Press the FLC Key to activate Flight Level Change Mode.
PAGE 343
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ILS APPROACH Flying an ILS approach: 1) Transition from GPS Navigation Mode to Heading Select Mode. a) Load the Runway 29R ILS approach for KFAT into the Flight Plan and select ‘Vectors to Final’ for the transition. b) Set the Selected Heading after getting vectors from ATC and press the HDG Key. The autopilot turns the aircraft to the desired heading. 2) Use Heading Select Mode to comply with ATC vectors as requested.

APPENDIX D FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS If a particular aspect of G1000 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 Garmin-authorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. WHAT IS RAIM AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT APPROACH OPERATIONS? RAIM is an acronym for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring.

APPENDIX D activated. When storing ﬂight plans with an approach, a departure, or an arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information from the current database to deﬁne the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the G1000 System automatically updates the information, provided the procedure has not been modiﬁed. Should an approach, departure, or arrival procedure no longer be available, the ﬂight plan becomes locked until the procedure is deleted from the ﬂight plan.
PAGE 383
APPENDIX D The most common application for using the OBS Softkey is the missed approach. The G1000 suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a “SUSP” annunciation placed on the HSI) when the missed approach point (MAP) is crossed. This prevents the G1000 from automatically sequencing to the missed approach holding point (MAHP). During this time, the OBS Softkey designation changes to SUSP. Pressing the SUSP Softkey reactivates automatic waypoint sequencing.
PAGE 384
APPENDIX D WHAT IS THE CORRECT MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE? HOW IS THE MISSED APPROACH HOLDING POINT SELECTED? To comply with TSO speciﬁcations, the G1000 does not automatically sequence past the MAP. The ﬁrst waypoint in the missed approach procedure becomes the active waypoint when the SUSP Softkey is selected after crossing the MAP. All published missed approach procedures must be followed, as indicated on the approach plate.

APPENDIX E G1000 MAP DATUMS WARNING: WGS 84 is the default datum and should be used in all situations except when another datum is speciﬁcally required for safe navigation. Pilots using map datums other than WGS 84 do so at their own risk.

APPENDIX F 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.
PAGE 388
APPENDIX F 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.
