AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SYSTEM OVERVIEW GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GO AROUND MODE (GA) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Go Around mode is coupled pitch and roll modes and is annunciated as both the vertical and lateral modes when active. Pressing the GA Switch while in the air activates the flight director in a wings-level, pitchup attitude, allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around. Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot and arms Selected Altitude Capture Mode automatically.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SYSTEM OVERVIEW 7.4 LATERAL MODES FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The following table relates each GFC 700 lateral mode to its respective control and annunciation. Refer to the vertical modes section for information regarding Go Around mode. NOTE: The GFC 700 may generate a lower bank angle than the maximum roll command limit in degrees indicated in Table 7-3 by the amount needed to produce a turn rate equal to or less than standard rate.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 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 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS level. EICAS When the flight director is activated or switched, 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 condition.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SYSTEM OVERVIEW HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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. EICAS The Selected Heading is adjusted using the HDG Knob.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NAVIGATION MODES (GPS, VOR, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active GPS course for the FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS flight director to enter Navigation Mode. EICAS 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 SYSTEM OVERVIEW CHANGING THE SELECTED COURSE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS If the navigation source is VOR or localizer or OBS Mode has been enabled when using GPS, the Selected Course is controlled using the CRS Knob corresponding to the selected flight director (CRS1 for the pilot side, CRS2 for the copilot side). Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Course while in Navigation Mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH MODES (GPS, VAPP, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active GPS course for the FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS flight director to enter Approach Mode. EICAS 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.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2) Ensure a LOC/ILS approach is loaded into the active flight plan. 3) Ensure the corresponding LOC frequency is tuned. 4) Press the APR Key.

APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW GARMIN DATABASES The following databases are stored on Supplemental Data Cards provided by Garmin: • Airport terrain • SafeTaxi • Terrain • Obstacle • FliteCharts • Airport Directory (AOPA) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS • Expanded basemap EICAS After subscribing to the desired database product, these database products will be downloaded to three Supplemental Data Cards (with the exception of FliteCharts, which is loaded on only one card).
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The FliteCharts database contains procedure charts for the United States only. This database is updated on a 28-day cycle.
APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Display Database Softkey (Figure B-11) is used to place the cursor in the Database Window. Upon first press of the Display Database Softkey, the softkey will change to a selected state (black text on gray background) and the cursor will appear in the Database Window. At this point the user can scroll through all databases in the Database Window to view status information.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order to make the database product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use some database features. After the data has been copied to the appropriate data card, perform the following steps: 1) With system power OFF, remove the MFD database card from the bottom card slot of the MFD.
APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW MAGNETIC FIELD VARIATION DATABASE UPDATE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS A copy of the current magnetic field variation database (MV DB) is included with the navigation database. At startup, the system compares this version of the MV DB with that presently being used by each AHRS (GRS1 and GRS2). If the system determines the MV DB needs to be updated, a prompt is displayed on the Navigation Map Page, as shown in Figure B-12.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B EICAS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 3) With ‘OK’ highlighted, press the ENT Key on the MFD. A progress monitor is displayed as shown in Figure B-15. When the upload is complete, the system is ready for use.

APPENDIX D SYSTEM OVERVIEW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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 SBAS? EICAS The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 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. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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 SYSTEM OVERVIEW When OBS mode is active, the G1000 allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a waypoint using the CRS/BARO Knob and HSI (much like a VOR). FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX D Why does the HSI not respond like a VOR when OBS mode is active? FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Unlike a VOR, the CDI scale used on GPS equipment is based on the crosstrack distance to the desired course, not on the angular relationship to the destination. Therefore, the CDI deflection on the GPS is constant regardless of the distance to the destination and does not become less sensitive when further away from the destination.
