Exercise 9.1: Emergencies and Failure Modes
1. If one display fails, what happens to the remaining displays?
The system enters Reversionary Mode (also called Display Backup Mode)—flight
instruments and engine displays are presented in a single-screen format (refer to the
System Overview in the Pilot’s Guide for specific details on airframes with dual PFDs).
2. How is an AHRS failure indicated on the G1000?
An AHRS failure is indicated by red-“Xs” over the affected flight instruments and a loss
of the horizon line on the PFD.
3. When the AHRS and/or ADC fail, what remedial action should be taken by the pilot?
The pilot should refer to standby instruments.
4. What information is presented to the pilot when a display is operating in Reversionary
Mode?
Engine instruments, attitude, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, and HSI information are
shown on a display operating in Reversionary Mode.
5. Describe the aircraft on-board power sources that remain in case of alternator failure and also
provide an explanation as to their operation, including a basic description of each power bus.
Refer to the AFM or POH.
