L 190-00352-00 1.2 LRU Descriptions GDU 1040/1044B: The GDU 104X display is the most visible portion of the G1000 system. The GDU 104X has a 10.4-inch LCD display with 1024 x 768 resolution. One is configured as a Primary Flight Display or PFD, the other is configured as the Multi-Function Display or MFD. The MFD shows navigation information and engine/airframe instrumentation. The PFD shows primary flight information, in place of traditional gyro systems. Both GDU 104Xs link and display all functions of the G1000 system during flight. The displays communicate with each other and the GIA 63/63W units through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection. The GDU 1044B provides autopilot controls. GMA 1347: The GMA 1347 integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls. Manual display reversion is also controlled by the GMA 1347. The GMA 1347 is normally installed between the MFD and PFD. The GMA 1347 can also be installed in dual-audio panel applications (usually paired with a dual-PFD setup). The GMA 1347 communicates with both GIAs using RS-232 digital interface. Software and configuration settings are received through RS-232 digital interface with the GIA. GIA 63/63W: The GIA is the central ‘Integrated Avionics Unit’ (IAU) to the G1000 system. The GIA functions as a main communications hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD and MFD displays. The GIA contains the GPS receiver, VHF COM/NAV receivers, and system integration microprocessors. The GIA communicates directly with the GDU 104X displays using a HSDB Ethernet connection. Software and configuration settings are sent from the displays through the GIA to LRUs in the system. The GIA 63W contains a WAAS certified GPS receiver. G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-3 190-00352-00 Rev. L GRS 77: The GRS 77 is an attitude, heading, and reference, or AHRS, unit that provides aircraft attitude and flight characteristics information to the G1000 displays and GIAs. The unit contains advanced tilt sensors, accelerometers, and rate sensors. In addition, the GRS 77 interfaces with both the GDC 74A Air Data computer and the GMU 44 magnetometer. The GRS 77 also utilizes GPS signals sent from the GIA. Actual attitude and heading information is sent using ARINC 429 digital interface to both GDU 104Xs and GIAs. GMU 44: The GMU 44 magnetometer senses magnetic field information. Data is sent to the GRS 77 ARHS for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the GRS 77 and communicates with the GRS 77 using RS-485 digital interface. GDC 74A: The GDC 74A air data computer compiles information from the pitot/static system and various outside air temperature (OAT) and angle of attack (AOA) sensors. The GDC 74A is responsible to provide pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G1000 system. The GDC 74A communicates with the GIA 63/GIA 63W, GDU 104X, and GRS 77 using ARINC 429 digital interface. Software and configuration settings are received through RS-232 digital interface with the GIA 63/GIA 63W. GEA 71: The GEA 71 is a microprocessor-based LRU that is responsible for receiving/processing signals from engine and airframe sensors. Sensor examples include engine temperature and pressure sensors as well as fuel measurement and pressure sensors. The GEA 71 communicates directly with both GIAs using RS- 485 digital interface. The GEA 71 can serve aircraft from basic single-engine platforms to sophisticated turbine propulsion systems. Software and configuration settings are received through RS-232 digital interface with the GIA. Page 1-4 G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Rev. L 190-00352-00 GTX 33: Solid-state Mode-S transponder. Provides Modes A, C, and S functions. Control and operation is directed through the PFD. The transponder communicates with both GIAs through RS-232 digital interface. Software and configuration settings are received through RS-232 digital interface with the GIA. GDL 69/69A: The GDL 69/69A is an XM Satellite Radio data link receiver that receives broadcast weather data. The GDL 69A is the same as the GDL 69 with the addition of XM Satellite Radio audio entertainment. Weather data and control of audio channel and volume is displayed on the GDU 104X MFD, via a High- Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection. The GDL 69A is also interfaced to the GMA 1347 Audio Panel for amplification and distribution of the audio signal. GDL 90 The GDL 90 is a remote-mounted product that contains a GPS/WAAS receiver and a Universal Access Transceiver. The GDL 90 will transmit “ownship” data via the UAT data link. It will receive data from other UAT- equipped aircraft as well as FIS-B weather – the received data may be output to an appropriate display. G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-5 190-00352-00 Rev. L GSA 81 & GSM 85: The GSA 81 servo actuator is an electromechanical LRU that provides automatic control of pitch, roll, and pitch trim. It also provides manual electric trim functionality. The GSA 81 contains a motor-control and monitor circuit board, as well as a solenoid and a brushless DC motor. The GSA 81 receives serial RS-485 data packets from the GIA 63Ws. The GSM 85 servo mount is mounted to the aircraft structure, via a custom mounting bracket, and is responsible for transferring the output torque of the GSA 81 servo actuator to the mechanical flight-control surface linkage.

L 1.3.2 Flight Instrumentation The GRS 77 AHRS, GDC 74A Air Data Computer, and GMU 44 Magnetometer are responsible for providing the G1000 system with flight instrumentation. Data consist of aircraft attitude, heading, altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and outside air temperature information, all displayed on the PFD (data is displayed on the MFD in reversionary mode). Primary data outputs from the GRS and GDC are sent directly to the PFD via ARINC 429. Secondary data paths connect the GRS to the MFD. Additional communications paths connect the GRS and GDC to both GIA units, providing quadruple redundant interface. The GRS 77 receives GPS data from both GIAs, airspeed data from the GDC, and magnetic heading from the GMU. Using these three external sources, combined with internal sensor data, the GRS accurately calculates aircraft attitude and heading. Figure 1-2. G1000 Flight Instrumentation Data Paths Page 1-8 G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Rev. L 190-00352-00 1.3.3 Navigation/Communication Systems The GIAs contain VHF COM, VHF NAV, and GPS receivers. COM and NAV audio is sent via digital audio to the GMA 1347 Audio Panel. GPS information is sent to the GRS 77 AHRS and both displays for processing. The GTX 33 Mode S Transponder communicates with both GIAs. Transponder data is sent from the GIAs to the PFD. The #2 GIA outputs analog HSI signals to the KAP 140 autopilot, if equipped. In the case of the GFC 700 both of the GIAs communicate to the servos through RS-485, see Figure 1-1. The GMA 1347 Audio Panel controls audio selections and the display reversionary mode. Figure 1-3. G1000 Navigation/Communication Data Paths G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-9 190-00352-00 Rev. L 1.4 User Interface 1.4.1 Control & Operation All control and operation of G1000 equipment as normally used in flight occurs through the PFD, MFD or GMA 1347 audio panel. Figure 1-4 identifies various GDU 104X buttons. See the appropriate G1000 Nav III Cockpit Reference Guide, as well as the appropriate AFMS for more detail on control and operation of the G1000.

L 190-00352-00 1.4.3 Configuration Mode Operation The configuration mode exists to provide the installer or technician with a means of configuring, checking, and calibrating various G1000 sub-systems. Troubleshooting/diagnostics information can also be derived from this mode. To start the system in Configuration Mode: 1. Press and hold the ENT key on the PFD while applying power. 2. Release the ENT key after ‘INITIALIZING SYSTEM’ appears in the upper left corner of the PFD. 3. Power on the MFD in the same manner. It is best to have both displays in the same mode. NOTE Configuration settings for each G1000 LRU must be adjusted on the PFD. 1.4.4 FMS Cursor The FMS knob is the primary control for the G1000 system. Operation is similar to the Garmin 400/500 Series units. • To cycle through different configuration screens: To change page groups: Rotate the large FMS knob. To change pages in a group: Rotate the small FMS knob. • To activate the cursor for a page, press the small FMS knob directly in, as one would push a regular button. • To cycle the cursor through different data fields, rotate the large FMS knob. • To change the contents of a highlighted data field, rotate the small FMS knob. This action either brings up an options menu for the particular field, or in some cases allows the operator to enter data for the field. • To confirm a selection, press the ENT key. • To cancel a selection, press the small FMS knob. Pressing the small FMS knob again, deactivates the cursor. The CLR key may also be used to cancel a selection or deactivate the cursor. Figure 1-6. FMS Control Knob G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-11 190-00352-00 Rev. L 1.4.5 Softkeys Some configuration pages have commands or selections that are activated by the GDU 104X softkeys. If a softkey is associated with a command, that command will be displayed directly above the key. A grayed-out softkey shows a command that is unavailable. A softkey that is highlighted shows the current active selection. Figure 1-7.

L 190-00352-00 1.4.7 Data Transmission Indicators Several configuration screens utilize indicator light to show data and/or component status. Unless otherwise noted, the following applies to all such indicators: • Green Light: Expected discrete data is successfully received and true, or status is good. • Red Light: Expected discrete data is not received or is invalid, or status is bad. • No Light (Black): No discrete data is expected, or it is received successfully and off, or status is not received or is invalid. 1.4.8 Configuration Page Protection The configuration mode contains pages that display various settings that are critical to aircraft operation and safety. At these pages, the technician is unable to modify or change settings unless they are authorized and equipped to do so. However, most protected pages are viewable to allow technicians greater system awareness for troubleshooting. 1.4.9 G1000 Loader Card Interface The G1000 Loader Card interface exists to provide a means of loading software and configuration files to the system. The G1000 Loader Card uses a 128 MB Secure Digital (SD) data card that contains all necessary files to load software and configuration settings to all G1000 LRUs. Nearly all software and configuration parameters are pre-determined by Garmin and/or Cessna. During removal and replacement of LRUs, software and configuration files may need to be reloaded. To satisfy TC/STC requirements for a specific aircraft, it is critical that the technician use the correct G1000 Loader Card part number. Each Loader Card’s part number defines all files found on the card for a specific G1000 installation. Note that certain configuration settings, such as aircraft registration number (‘N#’) must be entered manually. A sample procedure for loading software and configuration settings can be found in Section 4 of this manual. CAUTION Always use caution when using G1000 Software Loader Cards during maintenance. The G1000 system is designed to immediately initialize the card upon power-up. On-screen prompts must be given careful attention in order to avoid potential loss of data. Always read and thoroughly understand all related information before attempting to use the G1000 Software Loader Cards. G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-13 190-00352-00 Rev. L 1.4.10 Configuration Files A G1000 Loader Card typically contains the following configuration files: • AIRFRAME: This file contains data such as airspeed parameters, engine/airframe sensor limitations, fuel tank parameters and alerting system settings that tailor a G1000 PFD or MFD to a specific airframe. • SYSTEM: This file configures the G1000 Ethernet to communicate with a PFD, MFD, and GIAs. • MANIFEST: This file loads a manifest of all software part numbers and versions associated with an approved system configuration. • MFD1: This file configures the MFD serial/discrete communications and alerting system settings. • PFD1: This file configures the PFD serial/discrete communications and alerting system settings. • GIA1/GIA2: These files configure GIA1 and GIA 2 serial/discrete communications settings. • GMA1: This file configures the GMA 1347 audio and serial communications settings. • GTX1: This file configures the GTX transponder and serial communications settings. • GEA1: This file configures GEA 71 engine/airframe parameters. • GDC1: This file configures the GDC 74A air data values. • GDL69: This file configures the GDL 69A serial communications settings • CALIBRATION: This file configures calibration values for various analog sensors connected to the GEA (fuel quantity, fuel flow, etc.) • AUDIO: This file configures all of the audio messages for the G1000 system. This includes both tones and voice messages that are utilized for alerts, cautions, and warnings. The above files are loaded during the configuration process. Each file is sent directly to the applicable LRU. The same file is also stored into PFD internal configuration memory and configuration module. If the PFD is replaced, the configuration module retains all configuration files in the aircraft. NOTE The GRS 77 AHRS and GMU 44 Magnetometer do not utilize a configuration file. However, these LRUs do require several calibrations during installation and/or maintenance. Page 1-14 G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Rev. L 190-00352-00 1.4.11 Configuration File Retention The G1000 system is designed to store all configuration settings in various places so that the configuration of the system is retained in the aircraft during maintenance. Since the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck is installed in a variety of aircraft, it is imperative that aircraft-specific data be retained at the aircraft level. Figures 1-9 and 1-10 show a block diagram of how a typical G1000 system stores configuration settings. Figure 1-9. G1000 Configuration Storage G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-15 190-00352-00 Rev. L The GRS 77 and GDC 74A configuration modules function differently than the rest of the system. The GDC 74A’s configuration file is loaded directly to GDC internal memory, a copy is also stored in the GDC configuration module. The GRS 77 configuration module stores calibration data recorded during installation calibration procedures, and does not store configuration settings. GRS 77 AHRS GRS 77 Config Module (Located in GRS backshell connector) Stores a copy of AHRS/Magnetometer calibration values that are recorded upon completion of post-installation calibration procedures. The GRS 77 stores calibration data internally. The GRS 77 also stores factory calibration data internally. Should internal memory or the configuration module fail, AHRS ouput data flags invalid. GRS Internal Memory Contains internal sensor calibration data that is not installation-specific. Data is stored from factory calibrations. GDC 74A Air Data Computer GDC 74A Config Module (Located in GDC backshell connector) Stores a copy of the GDC 74A configuration file. The GDC 74A stores the GDC1 configuration file internally. The GDC 74A also stores factory calibration data internally. Should internal memory or the configuration module fail, loss of some or all airdata outputs will result. GDC Internal Memory Contains internal sensor calibration data that is not installation-specific. Data is stored from factory calibrations. Figure 1-10. GRS/GDC Configuration Storage 1.4.12 SET>ACTV / ACTV>SET Throughout various configuration mode pages, there are SET and ACTIVE columns for input/output settings and other parameters. SET: Refers to a setting or group of settings that reside in the PFD’s internal memory and/or master configuration module (See Figure 1-11). ACTIVE: Refers to a current setting stored and used in a LRU. LRUs store the ‘active’ settings within internal memory. Data can be manually copied from one column to the other by using the following two softkeys: • SET>ACTV (read ‘Set to Active’) softkey: Allows the installer to send the information in the SET column (data stored in the master configuration module) to the ACTV column (data used by LRU). • ACTV>SET (read ‘Active to Set’) softkey: Causes the LRUs current settings to be copied to the master configuration module as SET items. In the first example shown in Figure 1-11, the SET columns do not match the ACTIVE columns. The inequality between SET and ACTIVE indicates a configuration mismatch. By pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, this copies the SET column to the LRU unit’s configuration memory. The settings then become the ACTIVE settings for the LRU being configured. Page 1-16 G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Rev. L 190-00352-00 1.4.13 ACTV>SET Interface The only time ACTV>SET should be used is when the master configuration module fails and must be replaced. In this circumstance the ACTV>SET softkey may be used to reload correct configuration settings from previously installed LRUs. Should a LRU be replaced along with the master configuration module, the LRU needs to be reconfigured using the G1000 SW Loader Card. WARNING The ACTV>SET softkey must be used with caution! If an improperly configured unit is installed, this softkey causes the wrong configuration to replace the correct aircraft configuration! = = Master Configuration Module LRU Memory Master Configuration Module LRU Memory Master Configuration Module LRU Memory = Master Configuration Module LRU Memory = Configuration Mismatch SET>ACTV Softkey Configuration Correct Figure 1-11. SET/ACTV Feature In most cases, when a setting is changed, the newer setting will automatically be transferred to the appropriate LRU. The technician receives on-screen confirmation that the configuration is successful, as depicted in Figure 1-12. Likewise, if a configuration error is detected, it too is shown in similar fashion. Figure 1-12. Configuration Status G1000 Nav III Line Maintenance Manual Page 1-17 190-00352-00 Rev.

Correct any Alerts concerning software or configuration errors by reloading software or configuration as noted. • Verify GEA internal power supply, configuration, and calibration status in configuration mode. o Configuration and calibration boxes should be green. If they are red, replace the GEA 71. o With GDU software version 4.00 or higher, the INT PWR SUPPLY box should be green. If it is red, check for a shorted airframe sensor (reference Cessna wiring schematics for your aircraft type) by unplugging airframe sensors that receive power from the GEA one at a time until the INT PWR SUPPLY box turns green. The last sensor that was unplugged before the box turned green is the cause of the problem. Replace that sensor (reference Cessna Aircraft Maintenance Manual for instructions). Systems with GDU software versions less than 4.00 will display a red box, indicating proper operation. Troubleshoot in the same manner as for GDU software above 4.00 except the box color will behave oppositely. • Verify internal, external, and reference voltages listed in the Main Analog and I/O A Analog boxes are not dashed out (does not include Aircraft Power 1 and 2). Reference Section 2.7.1.2. o If any voltages are dashed out, replace the GEA. • Ensure the GEA is online (green checkmark on the AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page). o If GEA is not online verify unit is receiving power at the rack connector. o Check the GIA/GEA interconnects for faults. o Reload configuration files to both GIA’s and the GEA. o If problem persists, replace the GEA 71. • For only Red-X of the EGT and CHT temperature readings, replace the GEA configuration module and backshell thermocouple. o If problem persists, replace the GEA 71.

L 2.1.4 AFCS System Troubleshooting The information in this section specifically relates to the GFC 700. Should a problem be encountered during the operation of the GFC 700, the pilot and technician should first evaluate the overall status and condition of the G1000 system on the AUX – System Status page (on the MFD). Any alert messages, annunciations, or other abnormal behaviors should be noted in an effort to pinpoint the fault. More detailed system troubleshooting for a red AFCS or red PFT annunciator is contained in Section 2.11. 2.1.4.1 Annunciations and Alerts The GFC 700 AFCS Annunciation field is located above the airspeed tape on the PFD as shown in Figure 2-4.

L 2.1.5 Failed Path Messages (GDU Software Version 7.01 and later only) The following message indicates there is a data path connected to the GDU (MFD or PFD) or the GIA 63/GIA 63W (1 or 2) that has failed FAILED PATH – A data path has failed. Check configuration mode. The FAILED PATH message is triggered by a timeout of any one digital channel. The channels that are checked are listed on these pages in config mode: 1) GDU RS-232 / ARINC 429 CONFIG (PFD1, and MFD) 2) GIA RS-232 / ARINC 429 CONFIG (GIA1 and GIA2) 3) GIA CAN / RS-485 CONFIGURATION (GIA1 and GIA2) Important: Once the FAILED PATH message has been triggered, it will remain on the list of messages until the next power cycle. This latching was implemented so that for intermittent failures, the message would remain at the end of the flight (to alert maintenance crew). Also, this keeps the crew from having to acknowledge message repeatedly in the case of intermittent failures. NOTE For GDU software version prior to 7.01, the data path boxes may not be present on the GDU and GIA config pages. Troubleshooting failed path messages will require manually checking the data lines using a continuity tester and may require swapping GDU’s, GIA’s or other units to determine if the fault lies in the unit or wiring. Garmin recommends following the troubleshooting instructions for the red data boxes below to help find the cause of the fault. The box next to each channel indicates the current status of the channel per the below. Red = data path is known to be failed Black = data path status is unknown Green = data path is known to be good The applicable data paths can be verified by viewing the configuration mode pages listed below.
