Equipment Verification (Third Party/Optional Equipment Documentation)

Use the configuration/software checklist in Section 3.6 to determine what configuration software
files to load for the aircraft installation. It is extremely important to know exactly what equipment
the aircraft is equipped with and how it is connected before loading any files. Loading the
incorrect files could lead to longer down time and unplanned removal of equipment.
•
Third Party STCs such as such as BLR Winglet configuration. Find the AFMS part
number for the STCs that are installed in the aircraft documentation as it is important to
determine which configuration files to load for proper engine and airspeed instrument
markings. This information is required for Section 3.6.
•
Garmin optional equipment (i.e. GDC 7400, GRS 77 or 7800 AHRS or GSU 75
ADAHRS, GTX 33 or GTX 3X5 transponder, etc.). Section 3.5.1 helps find which units
are installed without a physical inspection.
•
Third party avionics equipment interfaced to G1000 (ADF, DME, non-Garmin traffic
systems, WX-500, etc.). To determine if the third party equipment is installed, check the
circuit breaker panel for circuit breakers for the units, and check for G1000 controls for
the third party devices. See the Garmin King Air 300 Series Pilot's Guide P/N 190-
02043-00 for instructions how to find the G1000 controls for the third party device. If the
G1000 control and/or unit circuit breaker is not present for a third party device, it is not
installed.
•
Ethernet connections used for select Garmin units (i.e. Connected to GDL 69, PFD1,
MFD, or PFD2 Ethernet ports). See Section 3.5.2 for guidance how to determine which
Ethernet connections are used.
•
Check if Autopilot Electronic Stabilization and Protection (ESP) feature is installed. See
Section 3.5.3 for guidance how to check if ESP is installed.
