Exercise 3.1: System Initialization

1. Is the aircraft required to remain stationary while the AHRS and ADC align?
2. Is there any warm-up time required for the engine instrumentation to be accurate?
3. What is the pilot action that should be taken if the MFD system self-test does not pass?
4. Where can one verify the effective dates of the Jeppesen database during the initial system start-up?
5. If the Jeppesen database is not current in the G1000, can the system still be used for IFR flight?
6. A pilot is planning a flight to KAPA (Centennial Airport, Denver, CO) from KCOU (Columbia, MO). When arriving at
the aircraft, the pilot notices that the Jeppesen database data is out of date by 3 cycles (84 days).
6a. Can the pilot make the flight under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)?
6b. What en route flight planning considerations must be made?
6c. What destination flight planning considerations must be made?
