MODEL 208B 867 SHP AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
GARMIN G1000

INSTRUMENT PANEL

The instrument panel, refer to Figure 7-2, is of all metal construction
and is installed in sections so equipment can be easily removed for
maintenance. The glareshield, above and projecting aft from the
instrument panel, limits undesirable reflections on the windshield from
lighted equipment and displays mounted in the instrument panel.
Additional controls and displays are mounted on a control pedestal
extending from the center of the instrument panel to the floor, on a
separate panel mounted on the left sidewall, and on an overhead panel.

GARMIN INTERFACES

The interfaces to the Garmin system are three Garmin Display Units
(GDUs), an audio panel, and an autopilot mode controller. The three
GDUs are configured as two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) and one
Multifunction Flight Display (MFD). Refer to the Garmin G1000 CRG for
specific operating information on all Garmin equipment.
The PFDs, centered above the control wheels in front of the pilot and
copilot, show the primary flight instruments and display any Crew Alert
System (CAS) annunciations, messages and alerts. During
reversionary operation (MFD or PFD 1 failure) or when the DISPLAY
BACKUP switch is selected, the Engine Indication System (EIS) is
shown on the PFD.
The MFD, located between the two PFDs, depicts EIS information
along the left side of the display and shows navigation, terrain, lightning
and traffic data on the moving map. Flight management or display
configuration information can be shown on the MFD in place of the
moving map pages.
The Garmin audio panel is located between the pilot PFD and the MFD.
It integrates all of the communication and navigation digital audio
signals, intercom system and marker beacon controls. A pushbutton
switch labeled DISPLAY BACKUP allows manual selection of
reversionary mode for the PFDs and MFD.
The Garmin autopilot mode controller, located above the MFD, is the
pilot interface with the autopilot system.
