WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES . WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The G1000 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range weather avoidance. WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Diamond DA42 aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations. NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode.

SECTION 11 – ABNORMAL OPERATION 11.2 ABNORMAL COM OPERATION When a COM tuning failure is detected by the system, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) is automatically loaded into the active frequency field of the COM radio for which the tuning failure was detected. In the event of a dual display failure, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) automatically becomes the active frequency to the pilot through the pilot headset. 11.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS SECTION 12: ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS NOTE: The Airplane Flight Manual Supplement supersedes information found in this document. The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items: • Annunciation Window: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. The Annunciation Window is located to the right of the Altitude and Vertical Speed Windows on the PFD display (or the MFD if system is in reversionary mode).
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.1 ALERT LEVEL DEFINITIONS The G1000 Alerting System, as installed in Diamond DA42 aircraft, uses three alert levels. • WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate pilot attention. A warning alert is accompanied by an annunciation in the Annunciation Window. Warning text appearing in the Annunciation Window is RED. A warning alert is also accompanied by a flashing WARNING Softkey annunciation, as shown in Figure 12-2.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.2 AIRCRAFT ALERTS The following alerts are configured specifically for the Diamond DA42 aircraft. See the Airplane Flight Manual for information regarding pilot responses. WARNING Alerts Annunciation Window Text L / R ENG TEMP L / R OIL TEMP L / R OIL PRES L/R ENG FIRE L / R GBOX TEMP L / R ALTN AMPS L / R STARTER L / R FUEL TEMP DOOR OPEN AP TRIM FAIL Alerts Window Message Left/right engine coolant temp is >105 deg C.

SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS 12.3 G1000 SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red ‘X’ is typically displayed on windows associated with the failed data. The following section describes various system annunciations. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations. NOTE: Upon power-up of the G1000 system, certain windows remain invalid as G1000 equipment begins to initialize.
SECTION 12 – ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS System Annunciation Comment Display is not receiving vertical speed input from the air data computer. Display is not receiving valid heading input from AHRS. GPS information is either not present or is invalid for navigation use. Note that AHRS utilizes GPS inputs during normal operation.
