LIMITED WARRANTY LIMITED WARRANTY Within the warranty period, Garmin will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts and/or labor incidental to the direct repair of said product. Garmin may, at its discretion with prior approval, reimburse an authorized Garmin Service Center for associated labor costs incurred for removal and replacement of the panel mount product installed in an aircraft.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance 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. The terrain avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in this 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, AND NOTES CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings. CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 does not contain any user-serviceable parts.

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 SYSTEM OVERVIEW A magenta Altitude Trend Vector extends up or down the left of the altitude tape, the end resting at the approximate altitude to be reached in 6 seconds at the current vertical speed. The trend vector is not shown if altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due to a system failure.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL DEVIATION NOTE: The Glidepath Indicator is only shown for aircraft with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units when SBAS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS is available. EIS The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI; Figure 2-13) 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. Full-scale deflection (two dots) is 1000 feet.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS SYSTEM OVERVIEW HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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 indicator.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Arc HSI 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 SYSTEM OVERVIEW Navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are corrected to the computed magnetic variation (‘Mag Var’) or referenced to true north (denoted ‘T’), set on the AUX - System Setup Page. When an approach referenced to true north has been loaded into the flight plan, the system generates a message to change the navigation angle setting to ‘True’ at the appropriate time.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS TURN RATE INDICATOR FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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 SYSTEM OVERVIEW When a bearing pointer is displayed, its associated information window is also displayed.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI) NOTE: If a heading change of greater than 105˚ with respect to the course is made, the CDI on the Arc HSI FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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 SYSTEM OVERVIEW Changing navigation sources: 1) Press the CDI Softkey to change from GPS to VOR1 or LOC1. This places the light blue tuning box over the NAV1 standby frequency in the upper left corner of the PFD. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2) Press the CDI Softkey again to change from VOR1 or LOC1 to VOR2 or LOC2. This places the light blue tuning box over the NAV2 standby frequency. 3) Press the CDI Softkey a third time to return to GPS.

APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW DATABASE MANAGEMENT FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen navigation and Jeppesen ChartView database updates. Not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet 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. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies.
APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW AUTOMATIC DATABASE SYNCHRONIZATION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The automatic database synchronization feature automatically transfers the Garmin databases from a single SD card residing in the bottom card slot of the MFD to the SD card in the bottom card slot of each PFD to ensure that all databases are synchronized. During power-up, the system compares all copies of each applicable database.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS If an error occurs during synchronization, an error message will be displayed, followed by the affected display in the Sync Status section of the Database Window (Figure B-4). If synchronization completes on one display, but an error occurs on another, the error message will be displayed with the affected diaplays listed after it. When an error message (Table B-1) is displayed, the problem must be corrected before synchronization can be completed.

AUDIO PANEL & CNS 5) After the update completes, the display starts in normal mode. 6) Turn the G1000 system OFF and remove the SD card from the top card slot. 7) Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the PFD.
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 the AHRS (GRS). If the system determines the MV DB needs to be updated, a prompt is displayed on the Navigation Map Page.

APPENDIX D SYSTEM OVERVIEW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS If a particular aspect of 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? EIS 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 system 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 system 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.
