FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement

Hawker Beechcraft B300 and B300C King Air 190-00716-03 Rev. 4

GENERAL
This section supplements the Systems Description chapter in the aircraft’s original Pilot’s Operating
Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual. This section will follow the format and layout of
the chapter in the original manual. Only topics changed by the installation of the G1000 integrated
avionics system will be addressed in this supplement.
The G1000 system is an integrated system that presents flight instrumentation, navigation,
communication, weather avoidance, engine instrumentation, and supplemental flight information to the
pilot for enhanced situational awareness through large-format displays. The G1000 also incorporates an
automatic flight control system that includes autopilot and flight director functions, as well as an optional
Electronic Stability & Protection (ESP) system. Refer to the GARMIN Pilot’s Guide and Cockpit
Reference Guide, P/N 190-01343-01 and 190-01344-01 Rev. A or later FAA accepted revision for
detailed descriptions of the GARMIN G1000 system including its components, detailed descriptions of
functions, and operating instructions.
G1000 INTEGRATED AVIONICS
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The main components of the G1000 Integrated Avionics system consists of 14 Line Replaceable Units
(LRU)s. Seven of those LRUs are mounted in the cockpit and interface the pilot to the G1000 system.
There are two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) that display primary flight information to the pilot, including
attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, vertical speed, navigation information, system information, and pilot
situational awareness information. In the center of the cockpit, a 15 inch Multi-Function Display (MFD)
displays engine gauges, flight plan data, various map displays, and access to aviation and weather
information. Information access and data entry through the MFD is via the GCU 477 MFD controller
mounted in the pedestal between the pilot and copilot seats.
Communications are interfaced through the PFDs and two audio panels mounted outside each PFD.
Radio tuning controlled through both PFDs and the GCU 477 controller. Audio levels for the Com and
Nav radios, ADF, intercom, and XM music are controlled by the two audio panels.
The G1000 incorporates a fully digital integrated autopilot and flight director. Pilot interface to the AFCS
is through the GMC 710 Autopilot Mode controller mounted in the center of the cockpit just below the
airplane’s glareshield.
In addition to dual Primary Flight Displays, the system incorporates dual Air Data Computers (GDC), Dual
AHRS (GRS), and Dual Integrated Avionics (GIA) units for system redundancy. Each GIA contains a
VHF Com radio, a VHF Nav radio, Glide Slope receiver, Marker Beacon receiver, and a SBAS
augmented GPS receiver.
Finally, the G1000 system includes weather radar and satellite down-linked weather information for
weather avoidance and situational awareness.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The G1000 Instrument Panel consists of two 10 inch LCD Primary Flight Displays, one 15 inch LCD
Multi-Function Display, two audio panels, autopilot / flight director mode control panel, an MFD controller,
and three 2 ¼ inch standby instruments. The ADF control head was relocated from the radio stack
location on the instrument panel to the pedestal.
