G1000
The G1000 Integrated Avionics System is a fully integrated flight, engine,
communication, navigation and surveillance instrumentation system. The
system consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi-Function Display
(MFD), audio panel, Air Data Computer (ADC), Attitude and Heading
Reference System (AHRS), engine sensors and processing unit (GEA), and dual
integrated avionics units (GIA) each containing VHF communications, VHF
navigation, and GPS (Global Positioning System).
GIA 63 units are standard and provide non-WAAS GPS position information in
accordance with TSO-C129a class A1. Optional GIA 63W units provide
WAAS augmented GPS position. If the optional GIA63W units incorporate
GPS software level 3.0 or later, the GPS system meets the requirements of TSO-
C145a.
The primary function of the PFD is to provide attitude, heading, air data,
navigation, and alerting information to the pilot. The PFD may also be used for
flight planning. The primary function of the MFD is to provide engine
information, mapping, terrain information, and flight planning. The audio panel
is used for selection of radios for transmitting and listening, intercom functions,
and marker beacon functions.
The primary function of the VHF Communication portion of the G1000 is to
enable external radio communication. The primary function of the VOR/ILS
Receiver portion of the equipment is to receive and demodulate VOR, Localizer,
and Glide Slope signals. The primary function of the GPS portion of the system
is to acquire signals from the GPS system satellites (and WAAS satellites if so
equipped), recover orbital data, make range and Doppler measurements, and
process this information in real-time to obtain the user's position, velocity, and
time.
If the optional TAWS function is installed in the G1000, the pilot will receive
appropriate aural warnings and cautions for terrain and obstacles. The pilot
should refer to the DA 40/DA 40F Pilot's Guide for the terrain warning and
caution messages and system information.
