WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the G1000.
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 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Section 6: Automatic Flight Control 6.1 Note: The Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) always supersedes the information in this guide. This section only applies to the GFC 700 Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). AFCS Controls The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the bezels of the PFD and MFD: acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the associated aural tone.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6.2 Flight Director Operation 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.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL AFCS Status Box 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. 6.3 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).
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Table 6-1 lists the pitch modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference (shown with default measurement units) is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes. The NOSE UP/ NOSE DN Keys can be used to change the pitch mode reference while operating under Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Pitch Hold Mode (PIT) Changing the Pitch Reference 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 the mode is activated.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Selected Altitude Capture Mode (ALTS) Selected Altitude Capture Mode arms automatically when the flight director is in Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, Flight Level Change, or Go Around Mode. This mode is also armed automatically under Vertical Path Tracking Mode when the Selected Altitude is to be captured instead of the VNAV Target Altitude. The white ‘ALTS’ annunciation indicates Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed (see Figure 6-5 for example).
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL If the Selected Altitude is reached during CWS maneuvering, the Altitude Reference is not changed. To adjust the Altitude Reference in this case, the CWS Button must be pressed again after the Selected Altitude is reached.

SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Airspeed Reference and the desired flight profile (climb or descent). The flight director maintains the current altitude until either engine power or the Airspeed Reference are adjusted and does not allow the aircraft to climb or descend away from the Selected Altitude.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Vertical Navigation Modes (VPTH, ALTV) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Vertical Path Tracking Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the descent path upon release of the CWS Button. Note: VNAV flight director pitch modes are available only in conjunction with GPS roll modes. Note: The Selected Altitude takes precedence over any other vertical constraints.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL In conjunction with the “TOD [top of descent] within 1 minute” annunciation in the Navigation Data Box, VNAV indications (VNAV Target Altitude, vertical deviation, and vertical speed required) appears on the PFD in magenta (Figure 6-11).
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL When a descent leg is captured (Figure 6-12), Vertical Path Tracking becomes active and tracks the descent profile. An altitude capture mode (‘ALTS’ or ‘ALTV’) is armed as appropriate.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Non-Path Descents Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes can also be used to fly non-path descents while VNAV flight control is selected. If the VS or FLC Key is pressed while Vertical Path Tracking Mode is selected, Vertical Path Tracking Mode reverts to armed along with the appropriate altitude capture mode to allow profile re-capture.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Changing the current VNAV Target Altitude while VNAV Target Altitude Capture Mode is active causes the flight director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode. Vertical Path Tracking and the appropriate altitude capture mode are armed in preparation to capture the new VNAV Target Altitude or the Selected Altitude, depending on which altitude is to be intercepted first.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Figure 6-16 Glidepath Mode Armed If vertical guidance becomes or is expected to become unavailable and the approach downgrades, Glidepath Mode is disarmed. When vertical guidance becomes available again, Glidepath Mode is automatically re-armed under GPS Approach Mode. Glideslope Mode is available for LOC/ILS approaches to capture and track the glideslope.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 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 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.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 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 (GPS, VOR, LOC) — Captures and tracks the selected navigation source • Backcourse — Captures and tracks a localizer signal for backcourse approaches • Approach (GPS, VAPP, LOC) — Captures and tracks the selected navigation source with greater sensitiv
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Heading Select Mode (HDG) Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing 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.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Turns are commanded in the same direction as Selected Heading Bug movement, even if the bug is turned more than 180° from the present heading (e.g., a 270° turn to the right). However, Selected Heading changes of more than 330° at a time result in turn reversals. 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.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL When the CDI has automatically switched from GPS to LOC during a LOC/ILS approach, GPS Navigation Mode remains active, providing GPS steering guidance until the localizer signal is captured. LOC Navigation Mode is armed in anticipation of localizer signal capture if the APR Key is not pressed prior to the automatic source switch.
SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL Backcourse Mode (BC) Changing the Selected Course NOTE: When making a backcourse approach, set the Selected Course to the localizer front course. Backcourse Mode captures and tracks a localizer signal. 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 color of the rectangular boxes may be magenta, green, or white depending on the route of flight and navigation source selected. The active GPS or GPS overlay flight plan leg is represented by magenta boxes that correspond to the Magenta CDI. A localizer course is represented by green boxes that correspond to a green CDI.
SECTION 11 – ADDITIONAL FEATURES Descent and Approach Pathways are shown descending only for a programmed descent (Figures 11-4 and 11-5). When the flight plan includes programmed descent segments, pathways are displayed along the descent path provided that the selected altitude is lower than the programmed altitude. During a Vectors-to-Final (VTF) approach transition, pathways are displayed along the final approach course inbound to the Missed Approach Point (MAP).
SECTION 11 – ADDITIONAL FEATURES Missed Approach Pathways are displayed along each segment including the path required to track course reversals that are part of a procedure, such as holding patterns. Pathways boxes will not indicate a turn to a MAHP unless a defined geographical waypoint exists between the MAP and MAHP.
SECTION 11 – ADDITIONAL FEATURES Zero Pitch Line Flight Path Marker The Flight Path Marker (FPM), also known as a Velocity Vector, is displayed on the PFD at groundspeeds above 30 knots. The FPM depicts the approximate projected path of the aircraft accounting for wind speed and direction relative to the three-dimensional terrain display. The FPM is always available when the Synthetic Terrain feature is in operation.
SECTION 11 – ADDITIONAL FEATURES Airport Signs Runways Airport Signs provide a visual representation of airport location and identification on the synthetic terrain display. When activated, the signs appear on the display when the aircraft is approximately 15 nm from an airport and disappear at approximately 4.5 nm. Airport signs are shown without the identifier until the aircraft is approximately eight nautical miles from the airport. Airport signs are not shown behind the airspeed or altitude display.
SECTION 11 – ADDITIONAL FEATURES Terrain-SVS and TAWS Alerting Terrain alerting on the synthetic terrain display is triggered by Forward-looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA) alerts, and corresponds to the red and yellow X symbols on the Inset Map and MFD map displays. For more detailed information regarding Terrain-SVS and TAWS, refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section. In some instances, a terrain or obstacle alert may be issued with no conflict shading displayed on the synthetic terrain.

SECTION 12 – ABNORMAL OPERATION Section 12: Abnormal Operation 12.1 Reversionary Mode Should a system detected failure occur in either display, the G1000 automatically enters Reversionary Mode. In Reversionary Mode, critical flight instrumentation is combined with engine instrumentation on the remaining display. Reduced navigation capability is available on the Reversionary Mode display.
SECTION 12 – ABNORMAL OPERATION 12.2 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. 12.
SECTION 12 – ABNORMAL OPERATION 12.6 Dead Reckoning WARNING: DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/WAAS Mode due to the lack of satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed and/or wind direction compound the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this degraded accuracy, the crew must maintain position awareness using other navigation equipment until GPS-derived position data is restored.
SECTION 12 – ABNORMAL OPERATION Also, while the G1000 is in DR Mode, the autopilot will not couple to GPS, and Terrain Proximity, TERRAIN-SVS, and TAWS are disabled. Additionally, the accuracy of all nearest information (airports, airspaces, and waypoints) is questionable. Finally, airspace alerts continue to function, but with degraded accuracy. 12-4 Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Nav III 190-00384-09 Rev.
