FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.1 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AIRSPEED INDICATOR NOTE: Refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for speed criteria and Vspeed values. The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The true airspeed is displayed in knots below the Airspeed Indicator. The numeric labels and major tick marks on the moving tape are marked at intervals of 10 knots, while minor tick marks on the moving tape are indicated at intervals of 5 knots.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Vspeeds (Glide, VR, VX, and VY) can be changed and their flags turned on/off from the Timer/References Window. When active (on), the Vspeeds are displayed at their respective locations to the right of the airspeed scale. By default, all Vspeed values are reset and all flags turned off when power is cycled. Changing Vspeeds and turning Vspeed flags ON/OFF: 1) Press the TMR/REF Softkey. 2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired Vspeed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ATTITUDE INDICATOR NOTE: Some supplemental flight information disappears if pitch exceeds +30˚/-20˚ or bank exceeds 65˚. Attitude information is displayed over a virtual blue sky and brown ground with a white horizon line. The Attitude Indicator displays the pitch, roll, and slip/skid information.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ALTIMETER The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer. The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The barometric pressure setting is displayed below the Altimeter in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa) when metric units are selected. Adjusting the altimeter barometric setting creates discontinuities in VNV vertical deviation, moving the descent path. For large adjustments, it may take several minutes for the aircraft to re-establish on the descent path.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL DEVIATION, GLIDESLOPE, & GLIDEPATH INDICATORS NOTE: The Glidepath Indicator is only shown for aircraft with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units when WAAS is available. The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI; Figure 2-11) uses a magenta chevron to indicate the baro-VNV vertical deviation when Vertical Navigation (VNV) is being used; the VDI appears in conjunction with the “TOD within 1 minute” alert. The VDI is removed from the display if vertical deviation becomes invalid.
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. A digital reading of the current heading appears on top of the HSI, and the current track is represented on the HSI by a magenta diamond bug.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Arc HSI (Figure 2-15) is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass rose. The Arc HSI contains a Course Pointer, To/From Indicator, a sliding deviation indicator (the To/From and deviation indicators are combined), and a deviation scale. Upon station passage, the To/From Indicator flips and points to the tail of the aircraft, just like a conventional To/From flag.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The heading displayed on the HSI and all other navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are magnetic when the NAV ANGLE is set to ‘Magnetic’ on the AUX - System Setup Page. When ‘True’ is selected, all navigation angles and the HSI display a ‘T’ next to the angle value (Figure 2-17).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS TURN RATE INDICATOR The Turn Rate Indicator is located directly above the rotating compass card. Tick marks to the left and right of the lubber line denote half-standard and standard turn rates. A magenta Turn Rate Trend Vector shows the current turn rate. The end of the trend vector gives the heading predicted in 6 seconds, based on the present turn rate.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS When a bearing pointer is displayed, its associated information window is also displayed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI) 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. If the course deviation data is not valid, the CDI is not displayed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NAV2 Selected for Tuning NAV1 Selected for Tuning GPS Selected LOC1 Selected VOR2 Selected Pressing the CDI Softkey Cycles through Navigation Sources Figure 2-23 Selecting a Navigation Source The CDI has the same angular limits as a mechanical CDI when coupled to a VOR or localizer (LOC). When coupled to GPS, the full scale limits for the CDI are defined by a GPS-derived distance.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS GPS CDI SCALING When GPS is the selected navigation source, the flight plan legs are sequenced automatically and annunciations appear on the HSI for the flight phase. If the current leg in the flight plan is a heading leg, ‘HDG LEG’ is annunciated in magenta beneath the aircraft symbol. The current GPS CDI scale setting is displayed as ‘System CDI’ on the AUX - System Setup Page and the fullscale deflection setting may also be changed (2.0 nm, 1.0 nm, 0.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL NAVIGATION (VNV) INDICATIONS When a VNV flight plan has been activated, VNV indications (VNV Target Altitude, RSVI, VDI) appear on the PFD in conjunction with the “TOD within 1 minute” message (Figure 2-35) and “Vertical track” voice alert. See the GPS Navigation and AFCS sections for details on VNV features. VNV indications are removed from the PFD according to the criteria listed in Table 2-2.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.3 PFD ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTING FUNCTIONS The following annunciations and alerting functions are displayed on the PFD. Refer to Appendix A for more information on alerts and annunciations. SYSTEM ALERTING Messages appear in the Alerts Window (in the lower right corner of the PFD; Figure 2-36) when a warning, caution, advisory alert, or G1000 message advisory occurs. System alert messages are provided for awareness of G1000 system problems or status and may not require pilot action.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Caution indicates the existence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may require pilot intervention. A flashing CAUTION Softkey annunciation and single aural tone (one chime) indicate the presence of a caution. The flashing CAUTION annunciator continues to flash until acknowledged (by pressing the CAUTION Softkey). An advisory provides general information to the pilot that may not need immediate attention.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS LOW ALTITUDE ANNUNCIATION NOTE: The Low Altitude Annunciation is available only for aircraft with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units when WAAS is available. This annunciation is not shown for systems with TAWS, unless TAWS is inhibited. When the Final Approach Fix (FAF) is the active waypoint in a GPS WAAS approach using vertical guidance, a Low Altitude Annunciation may appear if the current aircraft altitude is at least 164 feet below the prescribed altitude at the FAF.

GPS NAVIGATION AIRWAYS/JETWAYS NOTE: Refer to the Navigation Map Page setup section for details on how to customize the display of airways on the MFD. Airways (called Low Altitude Airways in the G1000 and in this pilot’s guide) serve primarily smaller pistonengine, propeller-driven airplanes on shorter routes and at lower altitudes. Airways start at 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) and extend upward to an altitude of 18,000 feet mean sea level (MSL). Airways are 8 nautical miles wide.
GPS NAVIGATION After selecting the desired airway for display, it can be loaded into a flight plan. Loading an airway into a flight plan is done in six steps as follows:. 1. Select the airway insertion point on the original flight plan 2. Access the Airway Loading Page 3. Select an airway from a list 4. Select an exit waypoint from a list 5. Preview the sequence of waypoints 6.
GPS NAVIGATION Figure 5-71 Load Airway Menu Option Note: the “Load Airway” menu item will be selectable only when an acceptable airway entry waypoint has been indicated (the waypoint ahead of the cursor position).
GPS NAVIGATION Figure 5-72 Selecting an Airway The Airway Loading Page provides the list of the airways that are selectable from the airway entry waypoint. The list of airways is sorted such that low altitude airways are presented at the top of the list, followed by “all” altitude airways, followed by high altitude airways. In this example, only low altitude airways are available at ANX.
GPS NAVIGATION If there is no connecting waypoint that can be nominated based on the existing flight plan, the system will try to present the list of airway waypoints in the order most consistent with the direction of the existing flight plan and will nominate the next airway waypoint after the entry waypoint.
GPS NAVIGATION Figure 5-74 Previewing the Waypoint Sequence The pilot uses the FMS Knob and the ENT Key to select an exit waypoint from the list (TOY in this example). After the exit waypoint is selected, the pilot gets one last chance to preview the waypoint sequence. If necessary, the cursor can be moved back to either the Airway or Exit waypoint fields to change the selected airway segment. Otherwise, press the ENT Key with the cursor over the LOAD prompt to load the airway into the flight plan.
GPS NAVIGATION Airway optional waypoints are not loaded Not all of the waypoints available in the database for an airway are actually needed to define the route. All of the airway waypoints are made available to choose as an exit waypoint, but when the airway is actually loaded into the flight plan, the “optional” waypoints are not included.
GPS NAVIGATION In the example, waypoints FRANC and COU were originally in the departure procedure. Because the airway was loaded after ANX, those waypoints were removed from the departure, but were then added back in because they were also on the selected airway (V12). Note that FRANC and COU would have been removed from the departure regardless of which airway was selected at ANX. The rules for removing bypassed waypoints in the original flight plan are as follows: 1.
GPS NAVIGATION DISPLAY OF AIRWAYS ON THE FLIGHT PLAN PAGE AIRWAY HEADING When an airway segment has been inserted into the flight plan a white heading is displayed after the entry waypoint as shown in Figure 5-77. Airway Identifier Exit Waypoint Identifier Figure 5-77 Airway Header Below the airway header, the waypoints of the airway are indented one space to create some visual separation between the airway and any subsequent off-airway waypoints that could be used on the flight plan.
GPS NAVIGATION COLLAPSE AIRWAYS FEATURE ‘Collapse Airways’ is selectable from the Flight Plan Menu if the flight plan contains at least one airway and the current state is “expanded” (Figure 5-79). In similar fashion, “Expand Airways” will be selectable if the flight plan contains airways and the current state is “collapsed”. When airways have been collapsed, it will be indicated on the airway heading.
GPS NAVIGATION Figure 5-80 Inserting Optional Airspace Waypoints INSERTING OR DELETING OFF-AIRWAY WAYPOINTS WITHIN AIRWAYS The pilot is always allowed to insert or delete waypoints within an airway segment. Except for inserting or deleting airway “optional” waypoints, it will usually have the effect of breaking one airway segment into two pieces. For example, consider the original airway segment as follows: ABI Airway – V16.
GPS NAVIGATION Deleting the exit waypoint (TXK), causes the airway header to change: ABI Airway – V16.PRX UKW BYP PRX Since the exit waypoint of one airway is often the entry waypoint of the next airway, it is also possible that two adjacent airway segments can be modified when a single waypoint is inserted or deleted. At minimum, an airway segment consists of two waypoints. The airway header is removed for any transaction that would create an airway segment that is not at least two waypoints long.
GPS NAVIGATION DIRECTIONAL AIRWAYS/INVERTING FLIGHT PLANS Some airways have directional restrictions on all or part of the route. Airway “A2” in Europe has a directional restriction over the whole route such that it can be flown only in the direction MTD-ABB-BNE-DEVAL. Airway “UR975” in North Africa has more complicated directional restrictions within the list of airway waypoints AMANO, VAKOR, LIBRO NELDA, DIRKA, GZO, KOSET and SARKI: • Starting from AMANO, the airway can be flown only to LIBRO.
GPS NAVIGATION VERTICAL NAVIGATION (VNV) NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for VNV Flight Planning definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms. The G1000 System can use altitude constraints associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for vertical navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the specific instance, entered by the pilot or retrieved from the published altitudes in the navigation database. The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes.
GPS NAVIGATION Large Text Small Text White Text Altitude calculated by the system estimating the altitude of the aircraft as it passes over the navigation point. This altitude is provided as a reference and is not being used by the system to determine vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude is not being used to determine vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude has been retrieved from the navigation database and is provided as a reference.
GPS NAVIGATION ALTITUDE CONSTRAINTS The G1000 provides a means to enter altitude constraints associated with waypoints in the active flight plan so long as the waypoint is not the final approach fix, a waypoint after the FAF, or part of an unsupported lateral leg type. Altitude constraints are displayed and entered in mean sea level (MSL) values to the nearest hundreth. An altitude constraint in above ground level (AGL) format is supported for airports.
GPS NAVIGATION Entering an altitude constraint: 1) Select the Active Flight Plan Page. 2) Highlight the desired waypoint altitude field (Figure 5-83). 3) Enter an alt constraint value using the FMS Knob or the Control Unit number keys. 4) Press the ENT Key to accept the VNV altitude constraint. VNV ALT Field Figure 5-83 Entering an Altitude Constraint ALTITUDE CONSTRAINT MODIFICATION The pilot can modify or delete any altitude constraint.
GPS NAVIGATION ALONG TRACK OFFSETS NOTE: An along track offset waypoint cannot be created if it is not adjacent to its parent waypoint The pilot can enter a waypoint having an “along track offset” distance from an existing waypoint. Offset distances can be entered from 1 to 99 nautical miles in increments of 1 nautical mile before the offset waypoint (shown as a negative value) or after the offset waypoint (shown as a positive value).
GPS NAVIGATION Active VNV Waypoint Altitude Target Vertical Speed Required Vertical Speed Flight Path Angle Time To Bottom of Descent Vertical Deviation Figure 5-85 VNV Profile VNV PROFILE The VNV profile can be changed by one of the following means: • Changing the Flight Path Angle (FPA) for the descent segment • Changing the target vertical speed for the descent segment Changes to the VNV profile apply to the current active waypoint only. The VNV profile is not modifiable if there is no active waypoint.
GPS NAVIGATION Upon completion of entering a new VS TGT the G1000: • Periodically computes a new FPA using the selected VS TGT and current ground speed until the TOD is reached • Uses the newly computed FPA for the active waypoint with a vertical component • Resumes periodic updates of the VS TGT using the new FPA and current ground speed. VNV profile changes apply to the active waypoint only. The active waypoint with a vertical component and its FPA is shown in the current VNV profile information box.
GPS NAVIGATION NAVIGATING AN EXAMPLE FLIGHT PLAN The following discussion is an example of navigating a flight plan with the WAAS capable GPS system while the G1000 provides vertical guidance through descents. A lateral flight plan (LNAV) would be navigated in much the same way, but would not include vertical guidance when the final approach course is active. The example is a flight plan from KMKC to KCOS filed using the TIFTO2 departure, various Victor Airways, and the DBRY1 arrival with the transition at TBE.
GPS NAVIGATION 2) Figure 5-86 shows the aircraft on the assigned heading of 240º. ‘TERM’ (Terminal) is the current CDI flight phase displayed on the HSI indicating 1.0 nm CDI scaling. Figure 5-86 Assigned Heading of 240º 190-00498-02 Rev.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE SECTION 6 HAZARD AVOIDANCE The hazard avoidance features available for the G1000 system are designed to aid situational awareness and provide advisory information with regard to potential hazards to flight safety associated with weather, terrain, and air traffic.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE activation signal that, when received by the GDL 69/69A, allows it to display weather data and/or entertainment programming. These IDs are located: • On the label on the back of the Data Link Receiver • On the XM Information Page on the MFD (Figure 6-1) • On the XM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions included with the unit Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be located.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE USING XM SATELLITE WEATHER PRODUCTS The Weather Data Link Page is in the Map group of pages. It is the primary starting point for viewing weather data because it can display all available XM weather products. No other G1000 page can display all XM weather products. When a weather product is active on the Weather Data Link Page or the Navigation Map Page, the age of the data displays on the screen.

Alternatively, press the STANDBY Softkey to place the system in the Standby mode. ‘STANDBY’ displays in the upper left corner of the page.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS SYMBOLOGY Traffic Information Service (TIS) is designed to help pilots detect and avoid aircraft intersecting their flight path. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link. TIS receives traffic information from ground stations and provides a five-second update rate. The G1000 displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS POWER-UP TEST The TIS system performs an automatic test during power-up. If the system passes the power-up test, the standby screen is displayed on the Traffic Map Page. If the aircraft is airborne during the test, traffic is displayed on the Traffic Page. If the system fails the power up test, one of the following messages displays: • NO DATA - Indicates that data is not being received from the transponder.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE OPERATING MODES Once the aircraft is airborne, the system switches from Standby mode to Operating mode. The G1000 displays ‘OPERATING’ in the upper left-hand corner and begins to display traffic on the Traffic Map Page. The TIS Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to intruding aircraft. Once the aircraft is on the ground the system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The Traffic Map Page displays ‘STANDBY’.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS TRAFFIC STATUS The MFD indicates traffic status in the Traffic Banner in the lower left corner of the map. The statuses in the following list are a subset of all possible system statuses and only include traffic information. • AGE - If traffic data is not refreshed within six seconds, an age indicator (‘AGE MM:SS’) displays in the lower left corner. If data is not received after another six seconds, the traffic is removed from the display.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE HONEYWELL KTA 870 TAS SYSTEM (OPTIONAL) NOTE: TIS is disabled when Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed. Refer to the Honeywell KTA 870 Pilot’s Guide for a detailed discussion of the KTA 870 TAS System.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SECTION 7 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NOTE: The approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) always supersedes this Pilot’s Guide. NOTE: The GFC 700 AFCS is not available for the Cessna 172R or 172S. NOTE: A failure of the primary (#1) GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) results in loss of the flight director. Any IAU failure results in loss of the autopilot and manual electric trim.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit separately from the MFD: AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect) Disengages the autopilot and flight director; interrupts pitch trim operation This switch may be used to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the associated aural tone. The red AP DISC Switch is located forward of the MET Switch on the pilot’s control wheel left grip.
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 ACTIVATING THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR Pressing the FD or AP Key (when the flight director is not active) activates the flight director in default pitch/ roll modes. Pushing the GA Switch or any fight director mode key activates the flight director in the respective mode(s). The flight director may be turned off by pressing the FD Key. The FD Key is disabled when the autopilot is engaged. Flight director mode annunciations are displayed on the PFD when the flight director is active.
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 mode(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM • Vertical Path Tracking — Captures and tracks descent legs of an active vertical profile • VNV Target Altitude Capture — Captures the Vertical Navigation (VNV) Target Altitude • Glidepath — Captures and tracks the WAAS glidepath on approach (only available in installations with GIA 63W IAUs when WAAS is available) • Glideslope — Captures and tracks the ILS glideslope on approach • Go Around — Automatically disengages the autopilot and commands a constant pitch angle and wings
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 Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Pitch Hold Mode is activated.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SELECTED ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTS) Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed with activation of the following modes: • Go Around • Pitch Hold • Vertical Path Tracking (if the Selected Altitude is to be captured instead of the VNV Target • Flight Level Change Altitude) The white ‘ALTS’ annunciation indicates Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed (see Figure 7-5 for example).
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 10 feet) as the Altitude Reference. The flight director’s Altitude Reference, shown in the AFCS Status Box, 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 Selected Altitude Capture 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 selecting Flight Level Change Mode. Flight Level Change Mode is selected by pressing the FLC Key. This mode acquires and maintains the Airspeed Reference while climbing or descending to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter). When Flight Level Change Mode is active, the flight director continuously monitors Selected Altitude, airspeed, and altitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL NAVIGATION MODES (VPTH, ALTV) NOTE: VNV is disabled when parallel track is active. NOTE: The Selected Altitude takes precedence over any other vertical constraints. Vertical Navigation (VNV) flight control is available for enroute/terminal cruise and descent operations any time that VNV flight planning is available. Refer to the GPS Navigation Section for more information on VNV flight plans.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Prior to descent path interception, the Selected Altitude must be set below the current aircraft altitude by at least 75 feet. For the flight director to transition from Altitude Hold to Vertical Path Tracking Mode, acknowledgment is required within 5 minutes of descent path interception by: • Adjusting the Selected Altitude • Pressing the VNV Key If acknowledgment is not received within 1 minute of descent path interception, the white ‘VPTH’ annunciation starts to flash.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM When a descent leg is captured (i.e., vertical deviation becomes valid), Vertical Path Tracking becomes active and tracks the descent profile (Figure 7-12). An altitude capture mode (‘ALTS’ or ‘ALTV’) is armed as appropriate.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Automatic Reversion to Pitch Hold Mode Several situations can occur while Vertical Path Tracking Mode is active which cause the flight director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode: • Vertical deviation exceeds 200 feet during an overspeed condition. • Vertical deviation experiences a discontinuity that both exceeds 200 feet in magnitude and results in the vertical deviation exceeding 200 feet in magnitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VNV TARGET ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTV) NOTE: Armed VNV Target Altitude and Selected Altitude capture modes are mutually exclusive. However, Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed implicitly (not annunciated) whenever VNV Target Altitude Capture Mode is armed. VNV Target Altitude Capture is analogous to Selected Altitude Capture Mode and is armed automatically after the VNV Key is pressed and the next VNV Target Altitude is to be intercepted before the Selected Altitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDEPATH MODE (GP) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glidepath Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glidepath upon release of the CWS Button. Glidepath Mode is available only in installations with GIA 63W IAUs when WAAS is available. Glidepath Mode is used to track the WAAS-based glidepath. When Glidepath Mode is armed, ‘GP’ is annunciated in white in the AFCS Status Box.
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 available for LOC/ILS approaches to capture and track the glideslope. When Glideslope Mode is armed (annunciated as ‘GS’ in white), LOC Approach Mode is armed as the lateral flight director mode.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GO AROUND (GA) MODE Pushing the GA Switch 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 coupled pitch and roll mode and is annunciated as ‘GA’ in both the active pitch and roll mode fields. Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot and arms Selected Altitude Capture 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 — Captures and tracks the selected navigation source (GPS, VOR, LOC) • Backcourse — Captures and tracks a localizer signal for backcourse approaches • Approach — Captures and tracks the selected navigation source (GP
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL HOLD MODE (ROL) NOTE: If Roll Hold Mode is activated as a result of a mode reversion, the flight director rolls the wings level. When the flight director is activated, Roll Hold Mode is selected by default. This mode is annunciated as ‘ROL’ in the AFCS Status Box. 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) Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. Heading Select Mode acquires and maintains the Selected Heading. The Selected Heading is shown by a light blue bug on the HSI and in the box to the upper left of the HSI. CHANGING THE SELECTED HEADING NOTE: Pressing the HDG Knob synchronizes the Selected Heading to the current heading. The Selected Heading is adjusted using the HDG Knob.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NAVIGATION MODE (GPS, VOR, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active GPS course for the flight director to enter Navigation Mode. Pressing the NAV Key selects Navigation Mode. Navigation Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation source (GPS, VOR, LOC). The flight director follows GPS roll steering commands when GPS is the selected navigation source.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM CHANGING THE SELECTED COURSE The Selected Course is controlled using the CRS Knob (while in VOR, LOC, or OBS Mode). Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Course while in Navigation Mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Course (or GPS flight plan) when the CWS Button is released.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH MODE (GPS, VAPP, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active GPS course for the flight director to enter Approach Mode. Approach Mode is activated when the APR Key is pressed. Approach Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation source (GPS, VOR, or LOC), depending on loaded approach. This mode uses the selected navigation receiver deviation and desired course inputs to fly the approach.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM LOC Approach Mode allows the autopilot to fly a LOC/ILS approach with a glideslope. When LOC Approach Mode is armed, Glideslope Mode is also armed automatically. LOC captures are inhibited if the difference between aircraft heading and localizer course exceeds 105°. Selecting LOC Approach Mode: 1) Ensure a valid localizer frequency is tuned. 2) Ensure that LOC is the selected navigation source (use the CDI Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if necessary).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM BACKCOURSE MODE (BC) NOTE: When making a backcourse approach, set the Selected Course to the localizer front course. Backcourse Mode captures and tracks a localizer signal in the backcourse direction. The mode may be selected by pressing the BC Key. Backcourse Mode is armed if the CDI is greater than one dot when the mode is selected. The flight director creates roll steering commands from the Selected Course and deviation when in Backcourse Mode.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.4 AUTOPILOT OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the POH for specific instructions regarding emergency procedures. The autopilot operates flight control surface servos to provide automatic flight control. Pitch and roll commands are provided to the servos, based on the active flight director modes. The autopilot uses pitch and roll rates to stabilize the aircraft attitude during upsets and flight director maneuvers.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL WHEEL STEERING During autopilot operation, the aircraft may be hand-flown without disengaging the autopilot. Pressing and holding the CWS Button disengages the pitch and roll servos from the flight control surfaces and allows the aircraft to be hand-flown. At the same time, the flight director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the maneuver. The ‘AP’ annunciation is temporarily replaced by ‘CWS’ in white for the duration of CWS maneuvers.
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. Numbered portions of accompanying diagrams correspond to numbered procedure steps. 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 Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC), enroute to Colorado Springs Airport (KCOS).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DEPARTURE Climbing to the Selected Altitude and flying an assigned heading: 1) Upon takeoff, set the Selected Altitude to 12,000 feet using the ALT Knob. 2) In this example, Vertical Speed Mode is used to capture the Selected Altitude (Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode may be used). a) Adjust the aircraft’s vertical speed to the desired 1,000 fpm. b) Press the VS Key to activate Vertical Speed and Roll Hold modes and arm Selected Altitude Capture Mode.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INTERCEPTING A VOR RADIAL During climb-out, the autopilot continues to fly the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V4 to Salina VOR (SLN) should now be intercepted. Since the enroute flight plan waypoints correspond to VORs, flight director Navigation Mode using either VOR or GPS as the navigation source may be used. In this scenario, VOR Navigation Mode is used for navigation to the first VOR waypoint in the flight plan.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLYING A FLIGHT PLAN/GPS COURSE NOTE: Changing the navigation source cancels Navigation Mode and causes the flight director to revert back to Roll Hold Mode (wings rolled level). As the aircraft closes on Salina VOR, GPS is used to navigate the next leg, airway V244. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on Airway V4. Flying a GPS flight plan: 1) Enter Salina VOR (SLN) into the GPS flight plan.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DESCENT While flying the arrival procedure, the aircraft is cleared for descent in preparation for the approach to KCOS. Three methods are presented for the descent from 12,000 ft: • Flight Level Change descent – Flight Level Change Mode can be used to descend to the Selected Altitude at a constant airspeed. This descent method does not account for flight plan waypoint altitude constraints.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Vertical Path Tracking descent to VNV Target Altitude: 1) Select VNV flight control: a) Press the VNV Key to arm Vertical Path Tracking Mode. The white annunciation ‘VPTH’ appears. b) Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude at least 75 feet below the VNV Target Altitude of 10,000 feet.

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 WAAS? The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors.
APPENDIX D For RAIM to work correctly, the GPS receiver must track at least five satellites. A minimum of six satellites is required to allow RAIM to eliminate a single corrupt satellite from the navigation solution. RAIM ensures that satellite geometry allows for a navigation solution calculation within a specified protection limit (2.0 nm for oceanic and en route, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches).
APPENDIX D Normal (OBS not activated) • Automatic sequencing of waypoints OBS • Manual sequencing - ‘holds’ on selected waypoint • Manual course change on HSI not possible • Manually select course to waypoint from HSI • Always navigates ‘TO’ the active waypoint • Indicates ‘TO’ or ‘FROM’ waypoint • Must be in this mode for final approach course • Cannot be set for final approach course or published holding patterns When OBS mode is active, the G1000 allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a w
APPENDIX D WHEN DOES THE CDI SCALE CHANGE? When set to ‘Auto’ (default), the GPS CDI scale automatically adjusts to the desired limits based upon the current phase of flight. CDI scaling changes in the following circumstances: • Once a departure procedure is activated, the CDI is scaled for departure (0.3 nm).
APPENDIX D ‘ACTIVATE APPROACH’ using the large FMS Knob and pressing the ENT Key. The G1000 provides navigation along the desired course to the waypoint and rejoins the approach in sequence from that point. To activate a new approach for the same airport, select the new procedure by pressing the PROC Key. Choose ‘SELECT APPROACH’, select the desired approach from the list shown, and press the ENT Key. Select the desired transition, then activate the approach using the ENT Key.

APPENDIX E 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 E 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.
