GENERAL

The G1000 Integrated Avionics System is a fully integrated
flight, engine, communication, navigation, autopilot and sur-
veillance instrumentation system. The system consists of a Pri-
mary Flight Display (PFD), Multi-Function Display (MFD), and
audio panel (GMA) that make up the instrument panel. Line
Replaceable Units (LRUs) that are included in the above dis-
plays and controls include the following.
• A single Air Data Computer (ADC)
• A single Attitude and Heading Reference System
(AHRS)
• Two Engine/Airframe Processing Units (GEA) Left/Right
• Two Integrated Avionics Units (GIA) containing dual VHF
communications transceivers, dual VOR/ILS receivers,
and dual GPS receivers.
• A single Transponder
• A single Magnetometer
• A Flight Director/Autopilot System that is integral to the
GIA and the autopilot servo units.

PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)

The Primary Flight Display (PFD) is a 10.4 inch Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) referred to by Garmin as a Garmin Display Unit
(GDU) 1040. It displays airspeed, attitude, altitude, and head-
ing information in a traditional format. A vertical speed display
is located to the right of the altitude display. A crew alerting
window and annunciation window are available for display. Slip
information is shown as a trapezoid under the bank pointer.
One width of the trapezoid is equal to a one ball width slip.
Rate of turn information is shown on the scale above the com-
pass rose. Full scale deflection is equal to a standard rate turn.
