G1000 System 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.
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 1-1.
G1000 software and configuration files are controlled via the approved software image part
number listed on the General Arrangement drawing listed in Table 1-1. 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 3.2.2.
Only SanDisk brand SD cards are recommended for use with the G1000 system.
Other brand cards have not been tested by Garmin.
To satisfy the G1000/GFC700 STC requirements for the 300 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 1-1).
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.
