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 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Color RED YELLOW Indication Terrain/Obstacle above or within 100’ below or above aircraft altitude. Terrain/Obstacle between 100’ and 1000’ below current aircraft altitude.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE 10.7 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR (OPTIONAL) Weather Radar Basics Antenna Beam Illumination It is important to understand the concept of the antenna beam illumination. The radar beam is much like the beam of a spotlight. The farther the beam travels, the wider it gets. The radar is only capable of “seeing” what is inside the boundaries of the beam. Altitude (x1000 ft.) 80 Antenna at Zero Tilt 0 15 Half Power at 18,000 ft.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Radar Signal Reflectivity Radar Signal Attenuation Attenuation because of distance is due to the fact that the radar energy leaving the antenna is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The reflected radar energy from a target 40 miles away that fills the radar beam will be one fourth the energy reflected from an equivalent target 20 miles away. This would appear to the operator that the storm is gaining intensity as the aircraft gets closer.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Ground Returns The intensity of ground target returns depends upon the angle at which the radar beam strikes the ground target (Angle of Incidence) and the reflective properties of that target. The gain can be adjusted so shorelines, rivers, lakes, and cities are well-defined. Increasing gain too much causes the display to fill in between targets, thus obscuring some landmarks.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Safe Operating Distance Basic Antenna Tilt Setup Normally, the bottom of the radar beam is four degrees below parallel with the ground. With the aircraft flying level, adjust the antenna tilt so ground returns are displayed at a distance that equals the aircraft’s current altitude (AGL) divided by 1,000. For example, if the aircraft is at 14,000 feet, adjust the tilt so the front edge of ground returns are displayed at 14 nautical miles. Note this antenna tilt angle setting.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Weather Mapping and Interpretation Weather Display Interpretation When evaluating various target returns on the weather radar display, the colors denote precipitation intensity and rates as shown in Figure 10-25. Weather Mode Color Intensity Approximate Precipitation Rate (in/hr.) BLACK < 23 dBZ < .01. GREEN 23 dBZ to < 32 dBZ .01 - 0.1. YELLOW 32 dBZ to < 41 dBZ 0.1 - 0.5 RED 41 dBZ to < 50 dBZ 0.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Tornadoes There are no conclusive radar target return characteristics which will identify a tornado. However, tornadoes may be present if the following characteristics are observed: • A narrow, finger-like portion (Figure 10-26) extends and in a short time curls into a hook and closes on itself.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Displaying Weather on the Weather Radar Page 1) Select the Map Page Group. 2) Select the Weather Radar Page. 3) Select the MODE Softkey. 4) To select Weather Mapping Mode: a) While on the ground, select the STANDBY Softkey. A one-minute warm-up period is initiated (countdown is displayed on the screen). After the warm-up is complete, the radar enters the Standby Mode. Figure 10-29 Confirming Activating Radar b) When the aircraft is airborne, select the WEATHER Softkey.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Vertically Scanning a Storm Cell 5) Turn the Joystick to adjust the range. 6) Press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor. NOTE: Vertical scanning of a storm cell should be done with the aircraft wings level to avoid constant adjustment of the Bearing Line. 7) To select a new area to be vertically scanned, select the HORIZON Softkey to return to the Horizontal Scan view and repeat the previous steps. 1) While in the Horizontal Scan view, select the BRG Softkey.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Adjusting Antenna Tilt on the Horizontal Scan Display Tilt Line 1) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor in the TILT field. 2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the desired antenna tilt angle. 3) Press the ENT Key. 4) Press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor. The Joystick can also be used to adjust tilt up and down.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Adjusting Gain WARNING: Changing the gain in weather mode will cause precipitation intensity to be displayed as a color not representative of the true intensity. See Figures 10-33 and 10-34. Remember to return the gain setting to ‘Calibrated’ for viewing the actual intensity of precipitation. 1) Select the GAIN Softkey to activate the cursor in the GAIN field. 2) Turn the small FMS Knob to adjust the gain for the desirable level.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Sector Scan 1) While in horizontal scan mode, select the BRG Softkey to display the Bearing Line and place the cursor in the BEARING field (Figure 10-35). If the Bearing Line is not displayed, press the MENU Key and turn the large FMS Knob to select ‘Show Bearing Line’. Press the ENT Key. 5) If desired, readjust the Bearing Line as discussed previously to change the center of the Sector Scan. 6) Select the BRG Softkey again to remove the Bearing Line and cursor.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Weather Attenuated Color Highlight (WATCH™) While in horizontal scan mode, this feature can be used as a tool to determine areas of possible inaccuracies in displayed intensity due to weakening of the radar energy. This weakening is known as ‘attenuation’. Accuracy of the displayed intensity of returns located in the shaded areas are suspect. Proper antenna tilt management should still be employed to determine the extent of attenuation in a shaded area.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Weather Alert This feature may be used to indicate the presence of heavy precipitation beyond the currently displayed range and 80 to 320 nm from the aircraft’s present position. Weather Alert targets appear as red bands along the outer range ring at the approximate azimuth of the detected returns (Figure 10-39). If a Weather Alert is detected within ±10° of the aircraft heading, an alert will be displayed on the PFD in the Messages Window as shown in Figure 10-40.
SECTION 10 – HAZARD AVOIDANCE Ground Mapping and Interpretation Operation in Ground Map Mode A secondary use of the weather radar system is for the presentation of terrain. This can be a useful tool for verifying aircraft position. A “picture” of the ground is represented much like a topographical map that can be used as a supplement to the navigation map on the MFD. Ground Map mode uses a different gain range than Weather mode. Different colors are also used to represent the intensity levels.
