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. 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) – A GDU 1040 is conﬁgured as the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and a GDU 1040 or 1042 (for airframes equipped with the GFC 700) 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 GDC 74 – The Air Data Computer (ADC) processes data from the pitot/static system and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor. The ADC provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G1000 System, and it communicates with the primary IAU, displays, and AHRS using an ARINC 429 digital interface. • GEA 71 – The Engine Airframe Unit receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors.
PAGE 14
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GMU 44 – The Magnetometer measures local magnetic ﬁeld and sends data to the AHRS for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the AHRS and communicates with it via an RS-485 digital interface. • GDL 69A – The Data Link Satellite Radio Receiver provides real-time weather information to MFD maps and the PFD Inset Map, as well as digital audio entertainment. The Data Link Receiver communicates with the MFD via an HSDB connection.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.2 TERRAIN PROXIMITY CAUTION: Do not use Terrain Proximity information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain Proximity is intended only to enhance situational awareness. NOTE: Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft latitude is greater than 75° North or 60° South. G1000 Terrain Proximity is a non-TSO-C151b-certiﬁed terrain awareness system. It increases situational awareness and aids in reducing controlled ﬂight into terrain (CFIT).
PAGE 261
HAZARD AVOIDANCE GPS POSITION AND GPS-MSL ALTITUDE The G1000 GPS receiver provides the horizontal position and altitude. GPS altitude is derived from satellite position. GPS altitude is then converted to a mean sea level (MSL)-based altitude (GPS-MSL altitude) and is used to determine terrain and obstacle proximity. GPS-MSL altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors.

PAGE 277
HAZARD AVOIDANCE PREMATURE DESCENT ALERTING A Premature Descent Alert (PDA) is issued when the system detects that the aircraft is signiﬁcantly below the normal approach path to a runway (Figure 6-56). PDA alerting begins when the aircraft is within 15 nm of the destination airport and ends when the aircraft is either 0.5 nm from the runway threshold OR is at an altitude of 125 feet AGL while within 1.0 nm of the threshold.
PAGE 278
HAZARD AVOIDANCE NEGATIVE CLIMB RATE AFTER TAKEOFF ALERT (NCR) The purpose of the Negative Climb Rate (NCR) After Takeoff alert (also referred to as ‘Altitude Loss After Takeoff’) is to provide suitable alerts to the pilot when the system determines that the aircraft is losing altitude (closing upon terrain) after takeoff. The aural message “Don’t Sink” is given for NCR alerts, accompanied by an annunciation and a pop-up terrain alert on the display.
PAGE 279
HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.4 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS) Warning: The Trafﬁc Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the pilot locate trafﬁc visually.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS SYMBOLOGY Trafﬁc Information Service (TIS) is designed to help pilots detect and avoid aircraft intersecting their ﬂight path. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the trafﬁc data link. TIS receives trafﬁc information from ground stations and provides a ﬁve-second update rate. The G1000 displays up to eight trafﬁc targets within a 7.5 nm radius, from 3,000 feet below to 3,500 feet above the requesting aircraft. Trafﬁc is displayed on the Trafﬁc Map Page according to TCAS symbology.
PAGE 282
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TROUBLESHOOTING The TIS system performs an automatic test during power-up. If the system passes the power-up test, the standby screen is displayed on the Trafﬁc Map Page. If the aircraft is airborne during the test, trafﬁc is displayed on the Trafﬁc Page in the operating mode. If the system fails the power up test, one of the following messages displays: • ‘NO DATA’ - Indicates that data is not being received from the transponder.
PAGE 283
HAZARD AVOIDANCE AUDIO ALERTS An audio alert is generated whenever the number of TAs on the Trafﬁc Map Page increases from one scan to the next. This reduces the amount of nuisance alerts due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the ﬁrst TA is displayed, an aural alert is generated. As long as a single TA aircraft remains on the display, no additional alerts are generated. If a second TA aircraft appears on the display, a new audio alert is generated.

PAGE 288
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. Maximum commanded pitch (+20°/-15°) and bank (22°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values established during AFCS certiﬁcation. The ﬂight director also provides commands to the autopilot.
PAGE 289
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS STATUS BOX Flight director mode annunciations are displayed on the PFD when the ﬂight director is active. Flight director roll modes are shown on the left and pitch on the right. Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green. Autopilot status is displayed in the center of the AFCS Status Box.
PAGE 290
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.3 FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise speciﬁed, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of speciﬁc mode selection, the ﬂight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll modes(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box.
PAGE 291
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; may be used to climb/descend to the Selected Altitude • Altitude Hold – Holds the current Altitude Reference • Vertical Speed – Maintains the current aircraft vertical speed; may be used to climb/descend to the Selected Altitude • Flight Level Change – Maintains the current aircraft airspeed while the aircraft is climbing/descending to the S
PAGE 292
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 as the active pitch mode by the green annunciation ‘PIT’. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter), since Altitude Hold Mode is automatically armed when the mode is activated. In Pitch Hold Mode, the ﬂight director maintains a constant pitch attitude, the pitch reference.
PAGE 293
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ALTITUDE HOLD MODE (ALT) Altitude Hold Mode can be activated by pressing the ALT Key; the ﬂight director maintains the current aircraft altitude (to the nearest ten feet) as the Altitude Reference). The ﬂight director’s Altitude Reference is shown in the AFCS Status Box and is independent of the Selected Altitude, displayed above the Altimeter. Altitude Hold Mode active is indicated by a green ‘ALT’ annunciation in the AFCS Status Box.
PAGE 294
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL SPEED MODE (VS) In Vertical Speed Mode, the ﬂight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference. Current aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical Speed Mode activation. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter) since Altitude Hold Mode is automatically armed when Vertical Speed Mode is selected.
PAGE 295
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE MODE (FLC) NOTE: The Selected Altitude should be set before selecting Flight Level Change Mode. Flight Level Change Mode is selected by pressing the FLC Key. When Flight Level Change Mode is active, the ﬂight director continuously monitors Selected Altitude, airspeed, and altitude. This mode acquires and maintains the Airspeed Reference while climbing or descending to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter).
PAGE 296
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glideslope upon release of the CWS Button. Glideslope Mode is only available when the ﬂight director has been set for approach (see Approach Mode under roll modes) and is annunciated in the AFCS Status Box as ‘GS’.
PAGE 297
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GO AROUND (GA) MODE Pushing the Go Around Switch engages the ﬂight director in a wings level, 7° pitch-up attitude, allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around. This mode is a couple pitch and roll mode and is annunciated as ‘GA’ in both the pitch and roll active mode ﬁelds. Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot and arms Altitude Hold Mode automatically. Subsequent autopilot engagement is allowed. Attempts to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e.
PAGE 298
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL MODES The GFC 700 offers the following roll modes: • Roll Hold (default mode) – Holds the current aircraft roll attitude or rolls the wings level, depending on the commanded bank angle • Heading Select – Captures and tracks the Selected Heading • Navigation (VOR, GPS, LOC, Backcourse) – Captures and tracks the selected navigation receiver on the HSI • Approach (VOR, GPS, ILS) – Captures and tracks the selected receiver on the HSI with greater sensitivity for approach •
PAGE 299
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL HOLD MODE (ROL) When the ﬂight director is activated (the FD or AP Key is pressed), Roll Hold Mode is selected by default. This mode is annunciated as ‘ROL’ in the AFCS Status Box. Figure 7-12 Roll Hold Mode Annunciation The current aircraft bank angle is held, subject to the bank angle conditions listed in Table 7-3.
PAGE 300
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button and hand-ﬂying the aircraft does not change the Selected Heading. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Heading upon release of the CWS Button. NOTE: Press the HDG Knob (the SYNC function) to synchronize the Selected Heading to the current heading. Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. The annunciation ‘HDG’ appears in the AFCS Status Box to indicate Heading Select Mode.
PAGE 301
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NAVIGATION (GPS, VOR, LOC, BC) MODE NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid signal (VOR, LOC) or active GPS course in order for the ﬂight director to enter Navigation or Approach Mode. 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 302
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 303
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.4 AUTOPILOT OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the AFM for speciﬁc instructions regarding emergency procedures. The Diamond DA40/40F’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 servo to relieve any sustained effort required by the pitch servo.
PAGE 304
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL WHEEL STEERING During autopilot operation, the aircraft may be hand-ﬂown without disengaging the autopilot. Pressing and holding the CWS Button disengages the pitch and roll servos from the ﬂight control surfaces and allows the aircraft to be hand-ﬂown. At the same time, the ﬂight director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the maneuver. The ‘AP’ annunciation is temporarily replaced by ‘CWS’ in white for the duration of CWS maneuvers.

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 306
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 307
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 308
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLYING A FLIGHT PLAN/GPS COURSE NOTE: Changing the navigation source 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 309
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 310
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.
PAGE 311
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GO AROUND/MISSED APPROACH NOTE: As a result of the calculations being performed by the system while ﬂying the holding pattern, the display may re-size automatically and the aircraft may not precisely track the holding pattern. Flying a missed approach: 1) Push the Go Around Switch at the Decision Height and apply full power to execute a missed approach. The Command Bars establish a nose-up climb to follow.

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.
PAGE 350
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 351
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 352
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 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 356
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.
