SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This section is designed to provide an overview of the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck as installed in Diamond DA42 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS • GDU 1040 (2) – The GDUs feature 10.4-inch LCD screens with 1024 x 768 resolution. The left display is configured as a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the right display is configured as a Multi Function Display (MFD). 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 74A – Processes data from the pitot/static system and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor The Air Data Computer (ADC) provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G1000 System and communicates with the primary IAU, displays, and AHRS using an ARINC 429 digital interface.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GRS 77 – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both the PFD and the #1 GIA 63 The Attitude and Heading Reference System (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 A 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 G1000 CONTROLS The G1000 controls have been designed to simplify operation of the system and minimize workload and the time required to access sophisticated functionality.

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 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 in the scrolling portion of the splash screen. Figure B-1 Power-Up Splash Screen 3) Acknowledge the 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 WHY DOES THE G1000 NOT AUTOMATICALLY SEQUENCE TO THE NEXT WAYPOINT? The G1000 only sequences flight plan waypoints when automatic sequencing is enabled (i.e., no “OBS” or “SUSP” annunciation). For automatic sequencing to occur, the aircraft must also cross the “bisector” of the turn being navigated. The bisector is a line passing through the waypoint common to two flight plan legs at an equal angle from each leg.
APPENDIX D after crossing the MAP. All published missed approach procedures must be followed, as indicated on the approach plate. To execute the missed approach procedure prior to the MAP (not recommended), select the Active Flight Plan Page and use the ACT LEG Softkey to activate the missed approach portion of the procedure.
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.
