Equipment Verification (Third Party/Optional Equipment Documentation)

It is extremely important to know exactly what equipment the aircraft is equipped with before
loading any files. Loading the incorrect files could lead to longer down time and unplanned
removal of equipment.
•
Garmin optional equipment (i.e. GDL69 SXM, GTX 3X5R, etc.). Section 3.5.1 helps find
which units are installed without a physical inspection.
•
Third party avionics equipment interfaced to G1000 (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.
Determining Installed Garmin Units
Use the table in Appendix A to determine what the unit part number is based on the unit's serial
number reported on the MFD Aux - System Status page in Normal mode or PFD System Status
page in Config mode. The table lists the units that have different loader card option files so the
installer can choose the correct file without requiring the unit to be physically inspected.
