TABLE OF CONTENTS Blank Page x Garmin G1000H™ Pilot’s Guide for the Bell 407GX 190-01255-01 Rev.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This section provides an overview of the G1000H Integrated Flight Deck as installed in the Bell 407GX. The G1000H system is an integrated flight control system that presents flight instrumentation, position, navigation, communication, and identification information to the pilot through large-format displays.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.2 LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS (LRU) • GDU 1040H (2) – One unit is configured as a PFD, the other as an MFD, each featuring a 10.4-inch LCD with 1024 x 768 resolution. The unit installed on the right/pilot side is designated as the PFD, and the one installed on the left/copilot side is designated as the MFD. These units communicate with each other and with the onside GIA 63H Integrated Avionics Unit through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) connection.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GSC 46 (1) – The GSC 46 is a signal conditioner which converts tachometer and engine torque information to a digital format for use by the GEA 71H. • GRS 77H (1) – Provides aircraft attitude and heading information via ARINC 429 to both GDU 1040H units and the both GIA 63H units.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GDL 69AH (1) – A satellite radio receiver that provides real-time weather information to the G1000H MFD (and, indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital audio entertainment. The GDL 69AH communicates with the MFD via HSDB connection. A subscription to the SiriusXM Satellite Radio service is required to enable the GDL 69AH capability. • GDL 59H (1) – GDL 59H operation is performed with the MFD through the HSDB.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GA 58 (2) – The GA 58 are directional antennas for the Traffic Avoidance System. One top-mounted directional antenna is required. Optional bottom mounted antenna offers better threat visibility. • GA 36 (1) and GA 37 (1) – The GA 36 is a through-mount GPS/SBAS antenna. The GA 37 is a through-mount GPS/SBAS antenna with SiriusXM/Data Link.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.3 G1000H CONTROLS NOTE: The Audio Panel (GMA 350) are described in the CNS & Audio Panel. The G1000H system controls are located on the PFD and MFD bezels and audio panel. The controls for the PFD and MFD are discussed within the following pages of this section. PFD CONTROLS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 13 11 14 12 15 16 18 17 Figure 1-2 PFD/MFD Controls The following list provides an overview of the controls located on the PFD bezel (see Figure 1-2).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 SECURE DIGITAL CARDS NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for instructions on updating the aviation database. NOTE: Ensure that the G1000H system is powered off before inserting the SD card. The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the top right portion 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 1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations. NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: See the Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. The G1000H system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION NOTE: In normal operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD. In reversionary mode, it can be adjusted from the remaining display. The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. Each IAU is connected to a single display, as shown in Figure 1-1. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration..
SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION NOTE: The G1000H System alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to Appendix A for further information regarding system-specific alerts. In the event of a display failure, the G1000H System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while the AHRS is not operating normally can degrade AHRS accuracy. In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 77H AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE A failure of the air data input has no effect on AHRS output while AHRS is operating in normal mode. A failure of the air data input while the AHRS is operating in reversionary No-GPS mode results in invalid attitude and heading information on the PFD (as indicated by red “X” flags). MAGNETOMETER FAILURE If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS transitions to one of the reversionary No-Magnetometer modes and continues to output valid attitude information.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW SOFTKEY FUNCTION The softkeys are located along the bottoms of the displays. The softkeys shown depend on the softkey level or page being displayed. The bezel keys below the softkeys can be used to select the appropriate softkey. When a softkey is selected, its color changes to black text on gray background and remains this way until it is turned off, at which time it reverts to white text on black background.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.1 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AIRSPEED INDICATOR NOTE: Refer to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for speed criteria. The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a moving tape rolling number gauge. The groundspeed 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. The minor tick marks on the moving tape are indicated at intervals of five knots.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ATTITUDE INDICATOR 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. 9 8 1 7 2 6 3 4 5 1 Roll Pointer 2 Roll Scale 3 Horizon Line 4 Aircraft Symbol 5 Land Representation 6 Pitch Scale 7 Slip/Skid Indicator 8 Sky Representation 9 Roll Scale Zero Figure 2-6 Attitude Indicator The horizon line is part of the pitch scale.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ALTIMETER The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a moving tape rolling number gauge. 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. A bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape.
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 A Baro Transition Alert is provided to alert the pilot to change the barometric pressure setting when crossing the transition altitude in either direction. This is displayed by the flashing cyan barometric pressure setting when crossing the transition altitude. Setting the Baro Transition Alert: 1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD. 2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS VERTICAL DEVIATION NOTE: The Glidepath Indicator is only shown for aircraft with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units when SBAS is available. The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) is a magenta chevron indicating the baro-VNV vertical deviation when Vertical Navigation (VNV) is being used (Figure 2-12). 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.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Arc HSI is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass rose. The Arc HSI contains a Course Pointer, combined To/From Indicator and a sliding deviation indicator, 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. Depending on the navigation source, the CDI on the Arc HSI can appear in two different ways, an arrowhead (GPS, VOR, OBS) or a diamond (LOC).
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are set on the AUX - System Setup Page and are either corrected to the computed magnetic variation (‘Mag Var’), referenced to true north (denoted ‘T’), or corrected according to user input (denoted ‘U’). 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.
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 HEADING PRESET MODE Heading Preset Mode allows AHRS to compute heading data without using the magnetic sensing device. If a magnet anomaly occurs (either due to interference or magnetometer failure), and Heading Preset Mode is available, an alert will be provided in the alerts window. The heading refence for this mode is a pilot-entered value. Activating Heading Preset Mode: 1) Select the PFD Softkey. 2) Select the SET HDG Softkey.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI) NOTE: During a heading change of 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. If the course deviation data is not valid, the CDI is not displayed.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Changing navigation sources: 1) Select the CDI Softkey to change from GPS to VOR1 or LOC1. This places the cyan tuning box over the NAV1 standby frequency in the upper left corner of the PFD. 2) Select the CDI Softkey again to change from VOR1 or LOC1 to VOR2 or LOC2. This places the cyan tuning box over the NAV2 standby frequency. 3) Select the CDI Softkey a third time to return to GPS.
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. Flight phase annunciations are normally shown in magenta, but when cautionary conditions exist the color changes to yellow. If the current leg in the flight plan is a heading leg, ‘HDG LEG’ is annunciated in magenta beneath the aircraft symbol.
Departure Terminal Enroute Terminal Refer to accompanying approach CDI scaling figures Approach 0.3 nm 1.0 nm 1.0 nm 2.0 nm 1.0 nm 0.3 nm CDI Full-scale Deflection FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Missed Approach Figure 2-29 Automatic CDI Scaling • Once a departure procedure is activated, the CDI is scaled for departure (0.3 nm). • The system switches from departure to terminal CDI scaling (1.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS OBS MODE NOTE: VNV is inhibited while automatic waypoint sequencing has been suspended. Enabling Omni-bearing Selector (OBS) Mode 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.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS As the aircraft crosses the missed approach point (MAP), automatic approach waypoint sequencing is suspended. ‘SUSP’ appears on the HSI at the lower right of the aircraft symbol. The OBS Softkey label changes to indicate the suspension is active as shown in Figure 2-33. Selecting the SUSP Softkey, deactivates the suspension and resumes automatic sequencing of approach waypoints.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 2.2 SUPPLEMENTAL FLIGHT DATA NOTE: Selecting the DFLTS Softkey turns off metric Altimeter display, the Inset Map, and wind data display. In addition to the flight instruments, the PFD also displays various supplemental information, including temperatures, wind data, and Vertical Navigation (VNV) indications.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WIND DATA Wind direction and speed (relative to the aircraft) in knots can be displayed in a window to the upper left of the HSI. When the window is selected for display, but wind information is invalid or unavailable, the window shows “NO WIND DATA”. Wind data can be displayed in three different ways: Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 No Data Figure 2-35 Wind Data Displaying wind data: 1) Select the PFD Softkey. 2) Select the WIND Softkey to display wind data display options.
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 and “Vertical track” voice alert. See the Flight Management section for details on VNV features. VNV indications are removed from the PFD according to the criteria listed in Table 2-2.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.7 GARMIN GTS TRAFFIC WARNING: The Garmin GTS 800 Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is intended for advisory use only to aid the pilot in visually acquiring traffic. No avoidance maneuvers should be based solely upon TAS traffic information. It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to see and maneuver to avoid traffic. NOTE: Pilots should be aware of TAS system limitations. TAS systems require transponders of other aircraft to respond to system interrogations.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TAS SYMBOLOGY The GTS 800 uses symbology to depict intruding traffic using the symbols shown in Table 6-20. Symbol Description Traffic Advisory (TA) arrow with ADS-B directional information. Points in the direction of the intruder aircraft track. (Not available in all installations.) Traffic Advisory without ADS-B directional information. Traffic Advisory out of the selected display range. Displayed at outer range ring at proper bearing.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Relative Altitude Vertical trend arrow Figure 6-115 Intruder Altitude and Vertical Trend Arrow If the intruding aircraft is providing ADS-B track information, this is displayed as a vector line extending beyond the traffic symbol in the direction of the track (Figure 6-116).
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Sensitivity Intruder Altitude Level Available A Yes A No B Yes B No TA Alerting Conditions Intruder closing rate provides less than 20 seconds of vertical and horizontal separation. Or: Intruder closing rate provides less than 20 seconds of horizontal separation and vertical separation is within 600 feet. Or: Intruder range is within 0.2 nm and vertical separation is within 600 feet. Intruder closing rate provides less than 15 seconds of separation.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TAS ALERTS When the traffic system detects a new TA, the following occur: • A single “Traffic!” voice alert is generated, followed by additional voice information about the bearing, relative altitude, and approximate distance from the intruder that triggered the TA (Table 6-22). The voice alert, “Traffic! 12 o’clock, high, four miles,” would indicate the traffic is in front of own aircraft, above own altitude, and approximately four nautical miles away.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM TEST NOTE: Traffic surveillance is not available during the system test. Use caution when performing a system test during flight. The traffic system provides a system test mode to verify the system is operating normally. The test takes ten seconds to complete. When the system test is initiated, a test pattern of traffic symbols is displayed on the Traffic Map Page (Figure 6-118).
HAZARD AVOIDANCE OPERATION After power-up, the traffic system is in Standby Mode. The system must be in Operating Mode for traffic to be displayed and for TAs to be issued. Selecting the OPERATE Softkey allows the system to switch from Standby Mode to Operating Mode as necessary. Selecting the STANDBY Softkey forces the unit into Standby Mode.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES leg of an active flight plan is represented by white boxes corresponding to a white line drawn on the Inset map or MFD map indicating an inactive leg. Selected Altitude Programmed Altitudes Figure 8-4 Programmed and Selected Altitude Pathways provide supplemental glidepath/glideslope information on an active ILS, LPV, LNAV/VNAV, and some LNAV approaches.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Descent and Approach Pathways are shown descending only for a programmed descent (Figures 8-5, 8-6). 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.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Missed Approach Upon activating the missed approach, pathways lead to the Missed Approach Holding Point (MAHP) and are displayed as a level path at the published altitude for the MAHP, or the selected altitude, whichever is the highest. If the initial missed approach leg is a Course-to-Altitude (CA) leg, the pathways boxes will be displayed level at the altitude published for the MAHP.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES FLIGHT PATH MARKER NOTE: The Flight Path Marker is not available when the cross-pointer (X-Pointer) flight director format is selected. 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.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES HORIZON HEADING The Horizon Heading is synchronized with the HSI and shows approximately 60 degrees of compass heading in 30‑degree increments on the Zero Pitch Line.

APPENDIX B Since these databases are not stored internally in the displays, a Supplemental Data Card containing identical database versions must be kept in each display unit. The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as rivers, lakes, and towns. It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is no expiration date. The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. These databases are updated periodically and have no expiration date.
APPENDIX B The synchronization progress may be monitored on the AUX-System Status Page in the Sync Status section of the Database Window (Figure B-8). This section shows the synchronization status of each applicable database, including the percent complete, time remaining, and to which displays the databases are being copied. When the synchronization is complete, the status is listed as ‘Complete’, followed by the displays to which the databases were copied.
APPENDIX B Error Message Description Canceled Database synchronization has been canceled by removing the bottom SD card in display being updated Card Full SD card does not contain sufficient memory Err Displayed for all other errors that may cause the synchronization process to be halted Timeout System timed-out prior to the database transfer completing Table B-1 Database Synchronization Error Messages UPDATING GARMIN DATABASES The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detai
APPENDIX B Figure B-10 Database Information on the Power-up Screen 5) Acknowledge the Power-up Page agreement by pressing the ENT Key or the right most softkey. 6) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the AUX Page group on the MFD. 7) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the System Status Page. 8) Monitor the Sync Status in the Database Window.

APPENDIX B MAGNETIC FIELD VARIATION DATABASE UPDATE 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 C Vertical Speed Required The vertical speed necessary to descend/ climb from a current position and altitude to a defined target position and altitude, based upon current groundspeed.
APPENDIX D FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS If a particular aspect of G1000H 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 Garminauthorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. What is SBAS? The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) 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 G1000H automatically activates the next waypoint in the flight plan once the aircraft has crossed the present active waypoint.
APPENDIX D • The To/From indicator on the HSI flips momentarily to indicate that the midpoint of the turn has been crossed. When does the CDI scale change? Once a departure is activated, the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) full scale deflection is set to 0.3 nm. The CDI scale changes to 1.0 nm (terminal mode) then ramps up to 2.0 nm (enroute mode) at 30 nm from the departure airport. When 31 nm from the destination, the CDI scale smoothly transition from 2.0 nm back to 1.0 nm (terminal mode). At 2.
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.
