G1000 / GFC 700 Software Information

The following sections provide a detailed description of loading all G1000 software and
configuration files, which may be excessive for individual LRU removal and
replacement. If removing and replacing individual LRUs, refer to Section 6 of this
manual for the necessary steps.
3.8.1
G1000 Software Image
All software and configuration files were certified by Garmin and are considered part of FAA-approved
Type Design data. Approved software and hardware definitions for each STC Configuration are defined
on the appropriate General Arrangement drawing listed in Table 1-2.
G1000 software and configuration files are controlled via the approved software image part number listed
on the General Arrangement drawing listed in Table 1-2. This software image is loaded into the G1000
using a software loader card. The installer shall create this software loader card by downloading the
approved software image in accordance with section 3.8.2.
Only SanDisk and Toshiba brand SD cards are recommended for use with the G1000
system.
Installers may obtain this software image already on a loader card by ordering Garmin
Part number 010-00798-XX directly from Garmin. Reference the General Arrangement
drawing listed in Table 1-2 for part number information.
To satisfy the G1000/GFC700 STC requirements for the 300/B300 series aircraft, it
is critical that the technician install correct software image part number when
servicing the G1000 system.
Approved software image part numbers are defined on the appropriate General
Arrangement drawing (see Table 1-2).
Be cautious when using software loader cards during maintenance. The G1000 system
immediately initializes the card upon power-up. On-screen prompts must be given
careful attention in order to avoid potential loss of data. Always read through procedures
given in Sections 5, 6 and 7 before attempting to use the software loader cards.
