PFD. Each GIA 63W contains a GPS SBAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, a flight director (FD; if Garmin AFCS is installed), and system integration microprocessors. Each GIA 63W is paired with the on-side display via an HSDB connection. The IAUs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.2 SECURE DIGITAL (SD) CARDS Ensure the G1000 System is powered off before inserting an SD card. NOTE: Refer to the Appendix for instructions on updating databases. NOTE: The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the upper right side of the display bezels.
Page 23: System Power-Up
Refer to the Appendix for system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: The G1000 System is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The PFD, MFD, and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs, and outputs to provide safe operation.

(EIS; see the EIS Section). Both displays offer control for COM and NAV frequency selection. Figure 1-6 G1000 Normal Operation In the event of a display failure, the G1000 System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In Reversionary Mode, all important flight information from the PFD is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode, with the addition of the EIS.
Page 25: G1000 System Annunciations
When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red ‘X’ is typically displayed over the instrument experiencing failed data (Figure 1-8 displays all possible flags and responsible LRUs). The G1000 System alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Upon G1000 power-up, certain instruments remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize.

The alerting system’ s annunciation tone may be tested from the System Status Page. Refer to the Appendices for airframe-specific alerts.
Page 29: Ahrs Operation
The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) performs attitude, heading, and vertical acceleration calculations for the G1000 System, utilizing GPS, magnetometer, and air data in addition to information from its internal sensors. Attitude and heading information are updated on the PFD while the AHRS receives appropriate combinations of information from the external sensor inputs.

Page 32 Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The G1000 automatically monitors RAIM and warns with an alert message when it is not available. If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the message “Approach is not active”.

Page 210: Flight Planning
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 5.6 FLIGHT PLANNING Flight planning on the G1000 consists of building a flight plan by entering waypoints one at a time, adding waypoints along airways, and inserting departures, airways, arrivals, or approaches as needed. The G1000 allows flight planning information to be entered from either the MFD or PFD. The flight plan is displayed on maps using different line widths, colors, and types, based on the type of leg and the segment of the flight plan currently being flown (departure, enroute, arrival, approach, or missed approach).

Page 230: Flight Plan Storage
FLIGHT PLAN STORAGE The G1000 can store up to 99 flight plans, numbered 1 through 99. The active flight plan is erased when the G1000 is powered off or when another flight plan is activated. Details about each stored flight plan can be viewed on the Flight Plan Catalog Page and on the Stored Flight Plan Page.
Page 231 COPY A FLIGHT PLAN The G1000 allows copying a flight plan into a new flight plan memory slot, allowing editing, etc., without affecting the original flight plan. This can be used to duplicate an existing stored flight plan for use in creating a modified version of the original stored flight plan.

The following discussion is an example of navigating a flight plan with the SBAS capable GPS system while the G1000 provides vertical guidance through descents. A lateral flight plan (LNAV) would be navigated in much the same way, but would not include vertical guidance when the final approach course is active.

6.4 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The optional Garmin GWX 68 Airborne Color Weather Radar is a four-color digital pulsed radar with 6.5 kilowatts of output power. The Garmin GWX 70 Airborne Color Weather Radar is a solid-state pulsed radar with forty watts of output power.
Page 397 Both systems use colors to identify the different echo intensities, but the colors are not interchangeable. Airborne color radar values used by Garmin Airborne Color Weather Radar should not be confused with NEXRAD radar values. ANTENNA BEAM ILLUMINATION The radar beam is much like the beam of a spotlight.

Page 691 Also, the active flight plan is overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans with an approach, a departure, or an arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the G1000 System automatically updates the information, provided the procedure has not been modified.
Page 692 APPENDIX D When OBS mode is active, the G1000 allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a waypoint using the CRS/BARO Knob and HSI (much like a VOR). The most common application for using the OBS Softkey is the missed approach. The G1000 suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a ‘SUSP’...
Page 693 (MAP). If an attempt to do so is made, an alert message “Are you sure you want to discontinue the current approach?” appears. The G1000 directs the pilot back to the transition waypoint and does not take into consideration any missed approach procedures, if the current approach is reactivated.
