PROCEDURES
APPROACHES
The G1000 allows you to fly non-precision and preci-
sion approaches to airports with published instrument
approach procedures. All available approaches are part
of the Jeppesen database stored internally in each PFD
and MFD.
The G1000 provides both lateral and vertical guidance
for ILS precision approaches on the PFD, and lateral guid
-
ance for non-precision Localizer, GPS, and VOR and ADF
overlay approaches. GPS position information is also pro-
vided on the mapping portion of the MFD and the inset
map window on the PFD for pilot reference only.
G1000 NAVIGATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR
APPROACHES
The G1000 supports all ARINC 424 leg types that have
associated waypoint fixes. The G1000 uses the following
leg types as part of the Jeppesen database:
• AF - DME arc to a fix
• CF – Course to a fix
• DF – Direct to a fix
• FA – Course from fix to an altitude
• FC – Course from fix to distance
• FD – Course from fix to DME distance
• FM – Course from fix to manual termination
• HA – Hold terminating at altitude
• HF – Hold terminating at a fix
• HM – Hold with manual termination
• IF – Initial fix
• PI – Procedure turn to course intercept
• RF – Constant radius turn to fix
• TF – Track between two fixes
Each of these legs is displayed on the active flight plan.
The G1000 does not support the following legs:
• CA – Course to an altitude
• CD – Course to a DME distance
• CI – Course to an intercept
• CR – Course to a radial
• VA – Heading vector to an altitude
• VD – Heading vector to DME distance
• VI – Heading vector to an intercept
• VM – Heading vector to manual termination
• VR – Heading vector to a radial
NOTE: The G1000 does not provide steering
guidance for hold legs and procedure turns
(HA, HF, HM and PI leg types). However, these
legs are drawn on the map and are shown in
the flight plan.
NOTE: The pilot is responsible for determining
database currency for approaches.
NOTE: The approach charts shown in this section
are not drawn to range and are not to be used
for navigation.
NOTE: A window is displayed when an approach
procedure is already active and the ‘ACTIVATE
APPROACH’ option is selected. Select ‘NO’
to continue navigating the current flight plan
approach procedure, or select ‘YES’ to restart
the current approach and navigate to the initial
waypoint in the flight plan approach proce
