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 WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be positioned in error as displayed. WARNING: Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW 6.3 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The optional Garmin GWX 70 Airborne Color Weather Radar is a solid-state pulsed radar with forty watts of output power. The radar combines excellent range and adjustable scanning profiles with a high-definition target display. The radar has an effective pulse length of 27.31 microseconds (µs), and the system optimizes the pulse length to maximize resolution at each range setting.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE NEXRAD AND AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Both airborne weather radar and NEXRAD measure weather reflectivity in decibels (dB). A decibel is a logarithmic expression of the ratio of two quantities. Airborne Weather Radar measures the ratio of power against the gain of the antenna, while NEXRAD measures the energy reflected back to the radar, or the radar reflectivity ratio.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW RADAR SIGNAL ATTENUATION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The phenomenon of radar signal attenuation affects the operation of weather radar. When the radar signal is transmitted, it is progressively absorbed and scattered, making the signal weaker. This weakening, or attenuation, is caused by two primary sources, distance and precipitation.
AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE Figure 6-97 Precipitation Type and Reflectivity FLIGHT MANAGEMENT Ground Returns The intensity of ground target returns depends upon the angle at which the radar beam strikes the ground target (Angle of Incidence) and the reflective properties of that target. The gain can be adjusted so shorelines, rivers, lakes, and cities are well-defined.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS Figure 6-98 Angle of Incidence FLIGHT MANAGEMENT A smaller incident angle gives the radar a larger detectable range of operation and the target display shows a higher intensity. Since more radar energy is reflected back to the antenna with a low incident angle, the resulting detectable range is increased for mountainous terrain.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE BASIC ANTENNA TILT SETUP FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The following discussion is a simple method for setting up the weather radar antenna tilt for most situations. It is not to be considered an all encompassing setup that works in all situations, but this method does provide good overall parameters for the monitoring of threats. Ultimately, it is desired to have the antenna tilted so the bottom of the radar beam is four degrees below parallel with the ground.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW displayed at 10 nm would have a maximum distance below the aircraft of 4,000 feet. A ground target return being displayed at five nm would have a maximum distance below the aircraft of 2,000 feet. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS This setup provides a good starting point for practical use of the airborne weather radar. There are many other factors to consider in order to become proficient at using weather radar in all situations.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE • Areas that show steep color gradients (intense color changes) over thin bands or short distances suggest irregular rainfall rate and strong turbulence. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS • Areas that show red may be associated with hail or turbulence, as well as heavy precipitation. Vertical scanning and antenna tilt management may be necessary to identify areas of maximum intensity.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW In areas of multiple heavy cells, use the Vertical Scan feature along with antenna tilt management to examine the areas. Remember to avoid shadowed areas behind targets. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS The Large Storm Behind AUDIO PANEL & CNS The Blind Alley at Close Range Figure 6-104 The Blind Alley FLIGHT MANAGEMENT Tornadoes There are no conclusive radar target return characteristics which identify a tornado.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Hail shafts are associated with the same radar target return characteristics as tornados. U-shaped cloud edges three to seven miles across can also indicate hail. These target returns appear quite suddenly along any edge of the cell outline. They also change in intensity and shape in a matter of seconds, making vigilant monitoring essential. OPERATION IN WEATHER MODE WARNING: Begin transmitting only when it is safe to do so.

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? EIS The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX D Why might there be no approaches available for a flight plan? FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Approaches are available for the final destination airport in a flight plan or as a direct-to (keep in mind that some VOR/VORTAC identifiers are similar to airport identifiers). If a destination airport does not have a published approach, the G1000 indicates “NONE” for the available procedures.
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.
APPENDIX E SYSTEM OVERVIEW GENERAL TIS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. EIS 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX E WARNING: Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 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. AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep.
