Introduction - Garmin G1000:Beechcraft Baron 58/G58 Pilot's Manual

Technology, such as that found in the G1000 integrated avionics system has the potential to bring a higher level of safety to general
aviation (GA). However, this can only occur if pilots operating aircraft with such equipment are properly trained and held accountable
to the Practical Test Standards (PTS). The purpose of this document is to provide both an overview of the typical G1000 potential fail-
ure modes and sample system operation/failure mode scenarios that correspond to the applicable sections of FAA-S-8081-4D, Instru-
ment Rating Practical Test Standards, so that the Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) and Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII)
can properly prepare pilots for the instrument rating by simulating realistic failures and teaching appropriate failure response plans.
The system recommendations provided in this document are Garmin' s recommendations only and are superseded by the aircraft
manufacturer' s recommendations and FAA-approved documentation for each aircraft model. The basic G1000 system architecture is
similar across many aircraft models. However, the location of the actual components of the system, the location and grouping of the
circuit breakers, and the engine instrumentation presentations vary between aircraft. Therefore, it is important to review the aircraft
manufacturer documentation for each aircraft model.
NOTE: As part of Garmin's commitment to flight safety, any specific questions or recommendations about both this document
and the G1000 system as it is to be used for the instrument check-ride can be sent via e-mail to "CFI_Tools@garmin.com".
