Severe corrosion may inhibit a component’s ability to bond to the aircraft’s electrical ground plane. The following summarizes maintenance practices which are implemented to maintain adequate lightning protection for the aircraft.
  • Page 28: Figure 2-13. Spider Ground Installation

    SPIDER Grounds Most G1000 connectors employ a SPIDER grounding system to provide necessary ground reference to shielding and/or transducers. A single 16-gauge wire is connected locally to the airframe. Additional ‘spider’ wires, 24-gauge, are used to connect shield grounds. The assembly is fastened directly to the backshell housing with two screws.

    Reversionary Mode Should a display communication or hardware failure occur, the G1000 system automatically enters the reversionary mode. The system reversionary mode forces the remaining display into showing all information related to safe flight. A manual reversionary mode also allows the operator to force the system into reversionary mode in situations where the system does not automatically enter reversionary mode.
  • Page 43 The G1000/DA 40 SW Loader Card part number defines all files specific to the G1000 system as installed in the DA 40. Refer to Appendix A for approved card part numbers. Approved Loader Card part numbers for the DA 40 can also be found in the Required Equipment List, Garmin P/N 005-00149-28.
  • Page 44 3.4.2 Configuration Files A G1000/DA 40 SW Loader Card typically contains the following configuration files: AIRFRAME: This file contains data such as airspeed parameters, engine/airframe sensor • limitations, fuel tank parameters and alerting system settings that tailor a G1000 PFD or MFD to the DA 40.
  • Page 45: Figure 3-7. G1000 Lru Configuration File Storage

    3.4.3 Configuration File Storage The G1000 system is designed to store all configuration settings in various places so that the configuration is retained in the aircraft during maintenance of units. Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8 illustrate where the various configuration files are stored. Figure 3-7.
  • Page 46: Figure 3-8. Grs/Gdc Configuration Settings Storage

    The GRS 77 and GDC 74A configuration modules function differently than the rest of the system. The GDC 74A’s configuration file is loaded directly to GDC internal memory. A copy of the file is stored in the GDC configuration module. The GRS 77 configuration module does not store any configuration settings.
  • Page 47: Figure 3-9. Set>Actv Diagram

    In the first example shown in Figure 3-9, the SET columns do not match the ACTIVE columns. The inequality between SET and ACTIVE indicates a configuration mismatch. By pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, this copies the SET column to the LRU unit’s configuration memory. The settings then become the ACTIVE settings for the LRU being configured.
  • Page 48: Figure 3-10. Loss Of Communication

    When troubleshooting the system, technicians can look for inequalities between SET and ACTIVE columns. Certain problems can be resolved simply by pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, which reloads settings to the specific LRU from the PFD. (Note that this can also be accomplished by reloading the configuration files for the LRU, using the G1000 SW Loader Card.
