FAA APPROVED AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT
GARMIN G1000 INTEGRATED AVIONICS SYSTEM
GFC 700
The GFC 700 Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) is a 2 axis autopilot and
flight director system which provides the pilot with the following features:
•
Altitude Preselect and Altitude Hold (ALT)
•
Flight Level Change with Airspeed Hold (FLC)
•
Vertical Speed Hold (VS)
•
Navigation tracking for VOR (NAV) and GPS (GPS)
•
Heading Hold (HDG)
•
Approach mode coupling to VOR (VAPP) or localizer (LOC) and
glideslope (GS)
•
Back Course (BC) tracking
•
Go Around (GA) pitch/roll guidance.
•
Glidepath coupling (GP) (GIA 63W equipped aircraft only)
•
Vertical Navigation (VPTH) (optional feature)
The system consists of autopilot controls on the Multi-Function Display (MFD),
servos with autopilot processing logic, Flight Director processing logic in the
GIAs, a left control stick-mounted elevator trim switch, a control stick-mounted
trim interrupt and autopilot disconnect switch on both sides, a left control stick-
mounted CWS (Control Wheel Steering) switch, a throttle-mounted GA (Go-
Around) switch, and PFD/MFD-mounted altitude preselect, heading, and course
knobs.
Flight Director commands and autopilot modes are displayed on the PFD. Full
AFCS functionality is only available with the both displays operating, and will
disconnect under certain reversionary conditions.
Upon initial system power-up, the system undergoes a preflight test. At the end
of the test, the autopilot disconnect tone sounds and the PFT and AFCS
annunciations are removed.
required for the autopilot and manual electric trim to engage.
Annunciation of the flight director and autopilot modes is shown in the lower
status field of the PFD. In general, green indicates active modes and white
indicates armed modes. When a mode is directly selected by the pilot, no
flashing of the mode will occur. When automatic mode changes occur, they will
be annunciated with a flashing annunciation of the new mode for ten seconds in
green. If a mode becomes unavailable for whatever reason, the mode will flash
for ten seconds in yellow and be replaced by the new mode in green.
