SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION NOTE: Refer to Section 7 for a description of the GFC 700 AFCS. The G1000 is an integrated flight deck system that presents flight instrumentation, position, navigation, communication, and identification information to the pilot using flat-panel color displays.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS • GDU 1040/1042 (2) – A GDU 1040 is configured as the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and a GDU 1040 or 1042 (for airframes equipped with the GFC 700) as a Multi Function Display (MFD). Both displays feature 10.4-inch LCD screens with 1024 x 768 resolution. The displays communicate with each other through a High-speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection. Each display is also paired with an Ethernet connection to an IAU.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW GDC 74 – The Air Data Computer (ADC) processes data from the pitot/static system and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor. The ADC provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G1000 System, and it communicates with the primary IAU, displays, and AHRS using an ARINC 429 digital interface. • GEA 71 – The Engine Airframe Unit receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GMU 44 – The Magnetometer measures local magnetic field and sends data to the AHRS for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the AHRS and communicates with it via an RS-485 digital interface. • GDL 69A – The Data Link Satellite Radio Receiver provides real-time weather information to MFD maps and the PFD Inset Map, as well as digital audio entertainment. The Data Link Receiver communicates with the MFD via an HSDB connection.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.3 SECURE DIGITAL (SD) CARDS NOTE: Ensure the G1000 System is powered off before inserting an SD card. NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for instructions on updating the aviation database. The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the upper right side of the display bezels. Each display bezel is equipped with two SD card slots. SD cards are used for aviation database and system software updates as well as terrain database storage.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 SYSTEM POWER-UP NOTE: See the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for system-specific annunciations and alerts. The G1000 System is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM OPERATION The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1, each IAU is connected to the on-side display. Normal and reversionary G1000 display operation, as well as the various AHRS modes and G1000 System Annunciations are discussed here.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW If the system fails to detect a display problem, Reversionary Mode may be manually activated by pressing the Audio Panel’s red DISPLAY BACKUP button. Pressing this button again deactivates Reversionary Mode. NAV1 and COM1 (provided by the failed PFD) are flagged as invalid. Pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button also activates/deactivates Reversionary Mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) performs attitude, heading, and vertical acceleration calculations for the G1000 System, utilizing GPS, magnetometer, and air data in addition to information from its internal sensors. Attitude and heading information are updated on the PFD while the AHRS receives appropriate combinations of information from the external sensor inputs.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 G1000 CONTROLS The G1000 controls have been designed to simplify operation of the system and minimize workload and the time required to access sophisticated functionality. Controls are located on the PFD and MFD bezels and Audio Panel. PFD and MFD controls and softkeys are discussed in this section.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI) The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a rotating compass card in a heading-up orientation. Letters indicate the cardinal points and numeric labels occur every 30˚. Major tick marks are at 10˚ intervals and minor tick marks at 5˚ intervals. The HSI presents heading, turn rate, course deviation, bearing, and navigation source information and is available in two formats (360˚ compass rose and 140˚ arc).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HEADING AND COURSE INDICATIONS NOTE: See the AFCS Section for more information on Selected Heading functions. A digital reading of the current magnetic heading appears on top of the HSI. The heading displayed on the HSI is always magnetic, even if the Navigation Angle (NAV ANGLE) is set to ‘True’ on the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD (see the System Overview for details).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NAVIGATION SOURCE The HSI can display two sources of navigation: GPS or NAV (VOR, localizer, and glideslope). The CDI Softkey cycles through the navigation sources. Color indicates the current navigation source: magenta (for GPS) or green (for VOR and LOC). Figure 2-19 Navigation Sources with Example HSI Annunciations Changing navigation sources: 1) Press the CDI Softkey to change from GPS to VOR1 or LOC1.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The following annunciations appear in yellow on the HSI to indicate abnormal GPS conditions: • ‘INTEG’: Loss of Integrity–GPS integrity is insufficient for the current phase of flight • ‘WARN’: GPS position error AUTOMATIC NAVIGATION SOURCE SWITCHING On the AUX - System Setup Page, ‘ILS CDI Capture’ may be changed to ‘Manual’.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS OBS MODE Enabling Omni-bearing Selector (OBS) Mode (with the OBS Softkey) suspends the automatic sequencing of waypoints in a GPS flight plan (GPS must be the selected navigation source), but retains the current “active-to” waypoint as the navigation reference even after passing the waypoint. ‘OBS’ is annunciated to the lower right of the aircraft symbol when OBS Mode is selected (see Figure 2-22).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR NOTE: If the pilot makes a heading change greater than 105˚ with respect to the course, the CDI on the Arc HSI switches to the opposite side of the deviation scale and displays reverse sensing. The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or right from the course pointer along a lateral deviation scale to display aircraft position relative to the course.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Changing the GPS CDI settings: 1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD. 2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor. 3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the ‘Selected’ field in the ‘GPS CDI’ box. 4) Turn the small FMS Knob to highlight the desired setting and press the ENT Key.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS If GPS is the selected bearing source, the active waypoint identifier is displayed in lieu of a frequency. If an active waypoint is not selected, the bearing pointer is removed from the HSI and “NO DATA” is displayed in the information window. Selecting bearing display and changing sources: 1) Press the PFD Softkey. 2) Press a BRG Softkey to display the desired bearing pointer and information window with a NAV source. 3) Press the BRG Softkey again to change the bearing source to GPS.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.3 SUPPLEMENTAL FLIGHT DATA NOTE: Pressing the DFLTS Softkey (a second-level PFD softkey) turns off metric Altimeter display and the Inset Map.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS CONTROLS ON THE MFD The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the bezel of the MFD: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AP Key FD Key NAV Key ALT Key VS Key YD Key FLC Key HDG Key APR Key Engages/disengages the autopilot Activates/deactivates the flight director only Pressing once turns on the flight director in the default pitch and roll modes. Pressing again deactivates the flight director and removes the Command Bars. If the autopilot is engaged, the key is disabled.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ADDITIONAL AFCS CONTROLS The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit separately from the MFD: Disengages the autopilot and yaw damper and interrupts pitch trim operation AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect) The AP DISC Switch is red and located forward of the MET switch on the pilot’s control wheel left grip. This switch may be used to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the associated aural tone.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION The flight director function provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and displays them on the PFD. With the flight director activated, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars. Maximum commanded pitch (+20°/-15°) and bank (22°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values established during AFCS certification. The flight director also provides commands to the autopilot.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS STATUS BOX Flight director mode annunciations are displayed on the PFD when the flight director is active. Flight director roll modes are shown on the left and pitch on the right. Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green. Autopilot status is displayed in the center of the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.3 FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection, the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll modes(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM PITCH MODES The GFC 700 AFCS offers the following pitch modes: • Pitch Hold (default mode) – Holds the current aircraft pitch attitude; may be used to climb/descend to the Selected Altitude • Altitude Hold – Holds the current Altitude Reference • Vertical Speed – Maintains the current aircraft vertical speed; may be used to climb/descend to the Selected Altitude • Flight Level Change – Maintains the current aircraft airspeed while the aircraft is climbing/descending to the S
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM PITCH HOLD MODE (PIT) When the flight director is activated (the FD Key is pressed), Pitch Hold Mode is selected by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active pitch mode by the green annunciation ‘PIT’. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter), since Altitude Hold Mode is automatically armed when the mode is activated. In Pitch Hold Mode, the flight director maintains a constant pitch attitude, the pitch reference.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ALTITUDE HOLD MODE (ALT) Altitude Hold Mode can be activated by pressing the ALT Key; the flight director maintains the current aircraft altitude (to the nearest ten feet) as the Altitude Reference). The flight director’s Altitude Reference is shown in the AFCS Status Box and is independent of the Selected Altitude, displayed above the Altimeter. Altitude Hold Mode active is indicated by a green ‘ALT’ annunciation in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL SPEED MODE (VS) In Vertical Speed Mode, the flight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference. Current aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical Speed Mode activation. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter) since Altitude Hold Mode is automatically armed when Vertical Speed Mode is selected.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE MODE (FLC) NOTE: The Selected Altitude should be set before engaging Flight Level Change Mode. Flight Level Change Mode is selected by pressing the FLC Key. When Flight Level Change Mode is active, the flight director continuously monitors Selected Altitude, airspeed, and altitude. This mode acquires and maintains the Airspeed Reference while climbing or descending to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glideslope upon release of the CWS Button. Glideslope Mode is only available when the flight director has been set for approach (see Approach Mode under roll modes) and is annunciated in the AFCS Status Box as ‘GS’.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GO AROUND (GA) MODE Pushing the GA Button engages the flight director in a wings level, 7° pitch-up attitude, allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around. This mode is a couple pitch and roll mode and is annunciated as ‘GA’ in both the pitch and roll active mode fields. Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot and arms Altitude Hold Mode automatically. Subsequent autopilot engagement is allowed. Attempts to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL MODES The GFC 700 offers the following roll modes: • Roll Hold (default mode) – Holds the current aircraft roll attitude or rolls the wings level, depending on the commanded bank angle • Heading Select – Captures and tracks the Selected Heading • Navigation (VOR, GPS, LOC, Backcourse) – Captures and tracks the selected navigation receiver on the HSI • Approach (VOR, GPS, ILS) – Captures and tracks the selected receiver on the HSI with greater sensitivity for approach •
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL HOLD MODE (ROL) When the flight director is activated (the FD or AP Key is pressed), Roll Hold Mode is selected by default. This mode is annunciated as ‘ROL’ in the AFCS Status Box. Figure 7-12 Roll Hold Mode Annunciation The current aircraft bank angle is held, subject to the bank angle conditions listed in Table 7-3.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Heading. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Heading upon release of the CWS Button. NOTE: Press the HDG Knob (the SYNC function) to synchronize the Selected Heading to the current heading. Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. The annunciation ‘HDG’ appears in the AFCS Status Box to indicate Heading Select Mode.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NAVIGATION (GPS, VOR, LOC, BC) MODE NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid signal (VOR, LOC) or active GPS course in order for the flight director to enter Navigation or Approach Mode. NOTE: When intercepting a flight plan leg, the flight director will give commands to capture the active leg at approximately a 45° angle to the track between the waypoints defining the active leg.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH (GPS, VAPP, LOC) MODE Approach Mode is activated when the APR Key is pressed. Approach Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation receiver on the HSI (GPS, VOR, or LOC). The mode annunciation corresponding to the selected navigation receiver (with the exception of VOR, which is annunciated ‘VAPP’ to indicate VOR Approach Mode) is displayed in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.4 AUTOPILOT OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the AFMS for specific instructions regarding emergency procedures. The Beechcraft A36/G36’s autopilot and yaw damper operate flight control surface servos to provide automatic flight control. The autopilot controls the aircraft pitch and roll attitudes following commands received from the flight director. Pitch autotrim provides trim commands to the pitch trim servo to relieve any sustained effort required by the pitch servo.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT AND YAW DAMPER NOTE: Autopilot engagement/disengagement is not equivalent to servo engagement/disengagement. Use the CWS Button to disengage the pitch and roll servos while the autopilot remains active. When the AP Key is pressed, the autopilot, yaw damper, and flight director are activated (if not already engaged). The flight director engages in Pitch and Roll Hold modes when initially activated.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DISENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT AND YAW DAMPER Automatic disengagement occurs due to: • System failure • Invalid sensor data • Inability to compute default flight director modes (FD also disengages automatically) • Stall warning (YD also disengages) Automatic autopilot disengagement is indicated by a flashing red ‘AP’ annunciation and by the autopilot disconnect aural alert, which continue until acknowledged by pushing the AP DISC or MET ARM Switch.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.5 EXAMPLE PROCEDURES NOTE: The diagrams in this section are for instructional purposes only and should not be used for navigation. This section provides a scenario-based set of procedures showing various GFC 700 AFCS modes used during a flight. In this scenario, the aircraft departs Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV) from runway 13L, enroute to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DEPARTURE Climbing to the Selected Altitude and flying an assigned heading: 1) Upon takeoff, set the Selected Altitude to 7000 feet using the ALT Knob.

APPENDIX B SD CARD USE The G1000 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for terrain database storage as well as aviation database updates. AVIATION DATABASE Jeppesen aviation databases are released every 28 days, and are provided directly to the pilot by Jeppesen. Updates must be loaded to both the MFD and PFD using an aviation database update SD card provided by Jeppesen.
APPENDIX B TERRAIN AND OBSTACLE DATABASES NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. NOTE: Obstacles 200’ and higher are included in the obstacle database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database.
APPENDIX B After the data has been copied to both data cards, perform the following steps: 1) Insert one card in the bottom card slot of the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of the PFD. 2) Apply power to the G1000 System. View the MFD power-up splash screen. Check that the Terrain and Obstacle databases are initialized and displayed on the scrolling window of the splash screen. 3) Acknowledge the Power-up Page agreement by pressing the ENT Key or the right most softkey.

APPENDIX D FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS If a particular aspect of G1000 operational capability is not addressed by these commonly asked questions or in the index, contact Garmin (see the copyright page or back cover for contact information) or a Garmin-authorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. WHAT IS RAIM AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT APPROACH OPERATIONS? RAIM is an acronym for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring.
APPENDIX D Flight plans can also be stored with an approach, a departure, or an arrival. Note that the active flight plan is erased when the system is turned off. Also, the active flight plan is overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans with an approach, a departure, or an arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints.
APPENDIX D The most common application for using the OBS Softkey is the missed approach. The G1000 suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a “SUSP” annunciation placed on the HSI) when the missed approach point (MAP) is crossed. This prevents the G1000 from automatically sequencing to the missed approach holding point (MAHP). During this time, the OBS Softkey designation changes to SUSP. Pressing the SUSP Softkey reactivates automatic waypoint sequencing.
APPENDIX D BLANK PAGE D-4 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Beechcraft A36/G36 190-00595-00 Rev.
APPENDIX E G1000 MAP DATUMS WARNING: WGS 84 is the default datum and should be used in all situations except when another datum is specifically required for safe navigation. Pilots using map datums other than WGS 84 do so at their own risk. The G1000 System supports the following map datums: WHAT IS THE CORRECT MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE? HOW IS THE MISSED APPROACH HOLDING POINT SELECTED? To comply with TSO specifications, the G1000 does not automatically sequence past the MAP.

APPENDIX F GENERAL TIS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides traffic advisory information to non-TAS/TCAS-equipped aircraft. TIS is a ground-based service providing the relative locations of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification.
APPENDIX F WARNING: Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations is the responsibility of the FAA. Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. NOTE: TIS is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep.
