  • Page 73: Final Grs 77/Gmu 44 Calibration Procedures

    Magnetometer Calibration Procedure. A G1000-equipped Columbia 350/400 airplane can be used to evaluate a candidate site for magnetic disturbances and determine whether it is a suitable location to perform the magnetometer calibration procedure. The magnetometer calibration procedure itself contains the logic to simultaneously survey the location for magnetic cleanliness while it is computing the magnetometer calibration parameters.

  • Page 74: Grs 77/Gmu 44 Magnetic Calibration

    The G1000-equipped Columbia 350/400 used to evaluate the site must have already completed the pitch/roll offset compensation procedure (Procedure A). However, prior completion of the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure (Procedure B) is not required. In order to evaluate a candidate site, the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure must be performed twice: once turning clockwise around the site, and once turning counter-clockwise.

    Keypad Lighting Adjustment Figure 3-11. Main Lighting Page Through configuration settings on this main lighting page, G1000 lighting can be setup and adjusted to suit each installation/cockpit environment. Each GDU must be configured for individual performance. The GMA 1347 audio panel and GCU 475/476 keypad lighting is also controlled from this page. Audio panel lighting is directly tied to display configuration, normally to the PFD (if the PFD fails, the MFD supplies lighting information to the GMA).
