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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM OPERATION 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. Normal and reversionary G1000 display operation, as well as the various AHRS modes and G1000 System Annunciations are discussed here.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW If the system fails to detect a display problem, Reversionary Mode may be manually activated by pressing the Audio Panel’s red DISPLAY BACKUP button. Pressing this button again deactivates Reversionary Mode. NAV1 and COM1 (provided by the failed PFD) are flagged as invalid. Pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button also activates/deactivates Reversionary Mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION 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. Attitude and heading information are updated on the PFD while the AHRS receives appropriate combinations of information from the external sensor inputs.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.2 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AIRSPEED INDICATOR NOTE: Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) for speed criteria. The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The true airspeed 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, while minor tick marks on the moving tape are indicated at intervals of 5 knots.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VSPEED REFERENCES NOTE: Refer to the AFMS for Vspeed values. Vspeeds (Glide, VR, VX, and VY) can be changed and their flags turned on/off from the Timer/References Window. When active (on), the Vspeeds are displayed at their respective locations to the right of the airspeed scale. By default, all Vspeed values are reset and all flags turned off when power is cycled. Changing Vspeeds and turning Vspeed flags on/off: 1) Press the TMR/REF Softkey.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ATTITUDE INDICATOR NOTE: Some supplemental PFD information disappears when pitch exceeds +30˚/-20˚ or bank exceeds 65˚. 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.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ROLL AND SLIP/SKID INDICATION The inverted white triangle indicates zero on the roll scale. Major tick marks at 30˚ and 60˚ and minor tick marks at 10˚, 20˚, and 45˚ are shown to the left and right of the zero. Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the pointer on the roll scale. The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ALTIMETER BAROMETRIC SETTING The Altimeter barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa) when the METRIC Softkey is pressed. Selecting the Altimeter barometric setting: Turn the BARO (outer) Knob to select the desired setting.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL DEVIATION/GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR The Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator (Figure 2-12) appears to the left of the Altimeter when an ILS is tuned in the active NAV field (and selected on the Audio Panel). A green diamond appears and acts as the Vertical Deviation Indicator, just like a glideslope needle on a conventional indicator. VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI) NOTE: Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm.
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 are at 5˚ intervals. The HSI presents heading, turn rate, course deviation, bearing, and navigation source information and is available in two formats (360˚ compass rose and 140˚ arc).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HEADING AND COURSE INDICATIONS NOTE: See the AFCS Section for more information on Selected Heading functions. A digital reading of the current magnetic heading appears on top of the HSI. The heading displayed on the HSI is always magnetic, even if the navigation angle (‘Nav Angle’) format is ‘True’ on the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD (see the System Overview for details).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NAVIGATION SOURCE The HSI can display two sources of navigation: GPS or NAV (VOR, localizer, and glideslope). The CDI Softkey cycles through the navigation sources. Color indicates the current navigation source: magenta (for GPS) or green (for VOR and LOC).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS GPS steering guidance is still provided after the HSI automatically switches to LOC until LOC capture, up to the Final Approach Fix (FAF) for an ILS approach, or until GPS information becomes invalid. Activating a Vectors-to-Final (VTF) approach (see the GPS Navigation Section) also causes the HSI to switch to LOC navigation source, although the change is not considered automatic to the system and GPS steering guidance is not provided after this switch.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR NOTE: If the pilot makes a heading change 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 (Figure 2-20).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Changing the selected GPS CDI setting: 1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD. 2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor. 3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the ‘Selected’ field in the ‘GPS CDI’ Box. 4) Turn the small FMS Knob to highlight the desired setting and press the ENT Key.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SECTION 7 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.1 AFCS OVERVIEW NOTE: The approved Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) always supersedes the information in this Pilot’s Guide. NOTE: A failure of the primary (#1) GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) results in loss of the AFCS. Each IAU contains the AFCS software which controls the flight director. Any IAU failure results in loss of the autopilot and manual electric trim.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS CONTROLS ON THE MFD The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the bezel of the MFD: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 AP Key FD Key NAV Key ALT Key VS Key FLC Key HDG Key APR Key NOSE UP/NOSE DN Keys Engages/disengages the autopilot Activates/deactivates the flight director only Pressing once turns on the flight director in the default pitch and roll modes. Pressing again deactivates the flight director and removes the Command Bars.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ADDITIONAL AFCS CONTROLS The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit separately from the MFD: Disengages the autopilot and interrupts pitch trim operation AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect) A red AP DISC switch is located on each control stick. This switch may be used to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the associated aural tone.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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’.
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.
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 •
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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°.
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.
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.
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.
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.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.6 AFCS ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS AFCS STATUS ANNUNCIATIONS The following annunciations (listed in order of increasing priority) can appear on the PFD above the Airspeed and Attitude indicators. Only one annunciation may occur at a time, and messages are prioritized by criticality.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM OVERSPEED PROTECTION While in Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode, airspeed is monitored by the flight director. In these modes, commands are limited for overspeed protection. Overspeed protection is provided to ensure the flight director cannot command an attitude which would exceed the certified maximum autopilot airspeed.

APPENDIX A AFCS STATUS ANNUNCIATIONS The following annunciations (listed in order of increasing priority) can appear on the PFD above the Airspeed and Attitude indicators. Only one annunciation may occur at a time, and messages are prioritized by criticality.
APPENDIX A GDL 69/69A DATA LINK RECEIVER TROUBLESHOOTING Although it is the responsibility of the facility that installed the Data Link Receiver to correct any hardware problems, some quick troubleshooting steps can be performed to find the possible cause of a failure: • Ensure the owner/operator of the aircraft in which the Data Link Receiver is installed has subscribed to XM • Ensure the XM subscription has been activated • Perform a quick check of the circuit breakers to ensure that power is applied to t
APPENDIX B SD CARD USE The G1000 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for terrain database storage as well as aviation database updates. AVIATION DATABASE NOTE: The display downloads the aviation database and stores it internally. The aviation database SD card is not required to remain in the display after the update.
APPENDIX B TERRAIN AND OBSTACLE DATABASES NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. NOTE: Obstacles 200’ and higher are included in the obstacle database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database.
APPENDIX B After the data has been copied to both data cards, perform the following steps: 1) Insert one card in the bottom card slot of the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of the PFD. 2) Apply power to the G1000 System. View the MFD power-up splash screen. Check that the Terrain and Obstacle databases are initialized and displayed on the scrolling window of the splash screen. 3) Acknowledge the Power-up Page agreement by pressing the ENT Key or the right most softkey.

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.
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.
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.
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.
