INTRODUCTION G1000 Integrated Cockpit System The G1000™ is a completely integrated avionics system designed to fit a broad range of aircraft models. It is an all-glass flight deck that presents flight instrumentation, location, navigation, communication and identification data on large-format, high-resolution displays. The digital data presentation on the G1000 puts all flight-critical information literally at the pilot’s fingertips.

GROUND LESSONS Ground Lesson 12 GFC 700 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS) Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to understand the operation of the Garmin Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) and use the Autopilot throughout various phases of flight. Resources • G1000 Pilot’s Guide Exercise 12.1: Flight Director and Autopilot Operation 1. List all parts (LRUs) associated with the GFC 700. 2. Where is the Autopilot control located in the cockpit? 3.
GROUND LESSONS 9. An aircraft has just departed from an airport and is performing a runway heading climbout. Following the departure procedure, the plane climbs to 4000 feet, then turns to a heading of 270 degrees. The final cruising altitude is 9000 feet. How would the pilot configure the Autopilot to follow all of the departure procedure up to the final cruising altitude? 10. Using the scenario above, configure the Autopilot to intercept an airway.
PROCEDURES Procedure 1 GPS APPROACH NO PROCEDURE TURN An approach where there is typically no procedure turn required to get established on the inbound course to the FAF is the first example. We use GPS RWY 12 at KPRC to show how the G1000 sequences through an approach and what type of annunciation and range factor changes can be expected. This example is based upon and active flight plan from KFLG (Flagstaff, AZ Pulliam Airport) to KPRC (Prescott, AZ Love Airport). See figure 1. 1.

PROCEDURES Procedure 2 FLYING THE MISSED APPROACH As the MAP is passed, if the runway is not in view, a missed approach must be performed. The G1000 continues to give guidance along an extension of the final course segment (FAF to MAP) until manual initiation of the missed approach procedure. 1. As the plane crosses the MAP, the waypoint message ‘ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT’ is displayed in the navigation status bar on the PFD.
PROCEDURES Procedure 3 FLYING THE PROCEDURE TURN The procedure turn portion of the approach is stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this reason the G1000 requires no special operations from the pilot (other than flying the procedure turn itself) beyond what is required for any other type of approach. This example is based upon a flight from KILG (Wilmington, DE New Castle County) to KMIV (Millville, NJ Municipal). The approach into KMIV will be NDB or GPS RWY 14 with the RNB transition.

PROCEDURES Procedure 4 FLYING THE DME ARC The GPS overlay for a DME arc approach uses additional Jeppesen provided waypoints to define the arc. When cleared for a DME arc approach, do either of the following to intercept the arc: • • Follow a specified radial inbound to intercept the IAF. Follow ATC vectors, which allow interception of the arc at any point along the arc. This example is based upon a flight from KSAF (Santa Fe, NM Municipal) to KFMN (Farmington, NM Four Corners Regional).
Reproduced with permission of Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. Not to be used for navigation. PROCEDURES Figure 3 Flying the DME Arc and Vectors to the DME Arc 190-00368-03 Rev.
PROCEDURES Procedure 5 VECTORS TO THE DME ARC This example is en route from KSAF to KFMN on a heading of 294°, 25 miles out and ATC gives vectors to intercept the arc outbound from HIDOX. See figure 3 1. If the approach has not already been activated, be sure to do so when cleared for the approach. 2. ATC instructs to turn left to a heading of 270° to intercept the arc. 3. Prior to intercepting the arc the leg must be activated since the arc was not intercepted at the IAF. 4.
PROCEDURES Procedure 6 FLYING AN APPROACH WITH A HOLD This example is based upon a missed approach from KSOP (Moore County, NC). Now the pilot has decided to divert to KIGX (Chapel Hill, NC) instead. The RNAV (GPS) RWY 9 approach into KIGX is selected. The RNAV (GPS) RWY 9 approach begins with a holding pattern at the IAF, FIKKA. See figure 4. 1. Press the Direct-to key. 2. Turn the small and large FMS knobs to enter the destination airports identifier (KIGX). 3. Press the ENT key twice.
PROCEDURES 16. As the plane crosses the MAP, ‘SUSP’ is displayed in the HSI and directly above the SUSP softkey, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A ‘FROM’ indication is displayed on the CDI, but course guidance along the final approach course continues. Do NOT follow this extended course. If a missed approach is required, follow the missed approach procedures as published on the approach plate.
PROCEDURES Procedure 7 FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO DISTANCE, OR COURSE FROM FIX TO DME DISTANCE Certain approach, departure and arrival procedures in the Jeppesen database contain course from fix flight plan legs. The G1000 is able to load these legs into the flight plan along with the rest of the procedure data, and to provide navigation along these legs.
Reproduced with permission of Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. Not to be used for navigation. PROCEDURES Figure 5 Course from Fix to Distance or Course from Fix to DME Distance 36 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Training Guide 190-00368-03 Rev.
PROCEDURES Procedure 8 FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO ALTITUDE ‘Course from fix to altitude’ legs shows the specific target altitude on the active flight plan. This example is based upon a flight from KSMO (Santa Monica Municipal) to KPMD (Palmdale, CA) with VOR/DME RWY 25 approach selected, which includes a course from fix to altitude leg. In this instance, the leg corresponds to the initial phase of the missed approach, which reads “Climb to 5000 outbound via PMD VOR R-282”. See figure 5. 1.
PROCEDURES Procedure 9 FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO MANUAL SEQUENCE ‘Course from fix to manual sequence’ legs are displayed on the Active Flight Plan Page and the Navigation Map Page with “man seq” in place of a waypoint identifier. An example of this type of course leg appears in the COASTAL TWO DEPARTURE from Westfield, Massachusetts (Barnes Municipal).

PROCEDURES Procedure 10 FLYING THE ILS APPROACH NOTE: When an ILS approach is loaded, the ILS frequency is automatically placed in the NAV Frequency window. Refer to the NAV/COM Pilot’s Guide for details. Precision approaches can be performed with the built in Nav (VOR/localizer/glideslope) receivers. Prior to reaching the FAF the CDI should be set to NAV1 or NAV2. The G1000 automatically switches the external CDI output from GPS to NAV1 or NAV2 as the final approach course is intercepted.
PROCEDURES 13. As the plane crosses the FAF, the destination sequences to the RW09map (RW09, the runway threshold). Keeping the CDI needle centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the approach plate. 14. As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message ‘ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT’ is displayed. Reproduced with permission of Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. Not to be used for navigation. 15.
PROCEDURES Procedure 11 FLYING THE VECTORS APPROACH In some cases ATC tells one to expect vectors onto the final approach course instead of flying the full approach. The two options below can be used to select “vectors to final”: • • When the approach is first selected choose ‘VECTORS’ from the transitions window. Load a full approach including the IAF from the transition window. When cleared, press the PROC key and select ‘ACTIVATE VECTORS TO FINAL’.

APPENDIX THE G1000 INTEGRATED AVIONICS SYSTEM AND CONSIDERATIONS OF ITS USE TO ENHANCE THE AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING (ADM) PROCESS AND SINGLE-PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (SRM). The Garmin G1000 Integrated Avionics System has brought a number of improvements in cockpit technology to the General Aviation (GA) aircraft. These improvements range from longer life and greater reliability of the primary instruments to a simplified pilot interface.
APPENDIX While managing frequencies for ground-based Navaids is important, proper use of the GPS flight plan function can also prove beneficial. Rather than performing continuous direct-to navigation with the GPS, taking the time on the ground to enter a full flight plan allows the G1000 to enhance the navigation experience.
APPENDIX Traffic Collision and Avoidance Systems (TCAS) represent another technological advance that has been made in the area of traffic avoidance. Originally developed for large commercial aircraft, TCAS technology is now starting to trickle down features and capabilities to the GA fleet. For example, the GTX 33 Mode-S transponder can be used as an optional component in G1000equipped aircraft and brings Traffic Information Service (TIS) data directly to the cockpit.
