Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide For the Diamond DA40

performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVi- gation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G1000 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the G1000 Flight Manual Supplement. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the G1000 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations. CAUTION: The GDU PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI- REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings. NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current G1000 system. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: There are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after the screen has been cleared. Avoid the clusters to avoid the thunderstorms. In the cell display mode, even a single discharge point may represent thunderstorm activity and should therefore be avoided.

Additional/optional equipment are shown in Figure 1-2. NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for G1000 LRU specifications. 1.2 LRU DESCRIPTIONS • GDU 1040 – The GDU 1040s have 10.4-inch LCD displays with 1024 x 768 resolution. The left display is configured as a PFD and the right display is configured as a MFD. Both displays link and are used to show all functions of the G1000 System during flight. The displays communicate with each other through a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection. Each display is also paired with an Ethernet connection to a GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Unit. • GMA 1347 – The GMA 1347 integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom, and marker beacon controls. The Audio Panel also provides manual control of display reversionary mode (using the red DISPLAY BACKUP button; see 1.7 System Operation) and is installed between the MFD and the PFD. The Audio Panel communicates with both IAUs using an RS- 232 digital interface. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GIA 63 – The GIA 63s are the central Integrated Avionics Units (IAUs) of the G1000 System. The IAUs serve as the main communications hub, linking all LRUs with the PFD and the MFD displays. Each IAU contains a GPS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, and system integration microprocessors and is paired with a GDU 1040 display through an Ethernet connection. The IAUs do not communicate with each other directly. • GRS 77 – The GRS 77 is an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) that provides aircraft atti- tude, heading, and vertical acceleration information to the G1000. The unit contains advanced sensors, accelerometers, and rate sensors and also uses inputs from the Air Data Computer and Magnetometer and GPS signals from the IAUs. AHRS operation is discussed in 1.7 System Operation. • GMU 44 – The GMU 44 Magnetometer measures local magnetic field information. Data is sent to the AHRS for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the AHRS and communicates with it using an RS-485 digital interface. • GDC 74A – The GDC 74A Air Data Computer (ADC) processes information received from the pitot-static system and the outside air temperature (OAT) sensor. The ADC provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G1000 System and communicates with the IAUs, displays, and AHRS through an ARINC 429 digital interface. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-3 SYSTEM OVERVIEW • GEA 71 – The GEA 71 receives and processes signals from the engine and airframe sensors. Sensor types include engine temperature and pressure sensors as well as fuel measurement and pressure sensors. The Engine/Airframe Unit communicates with both IAUs using an RS-485 digital interface. • GTX 33 – The GTX 33 is a solid-state, Mode S tran- sponder that provides Modes A, C, and S operation. The transponder is controlled through the PFD and communicates with both IAUs through an RS-232 digital interface. • GDL 69/69A – The GDL 69/69A is an XM satel- lite radio receiver that provides real-time weather information to the MFD and PFD Inset Map. The Data Link also provides digital audio entertainment. The Data Link communicates with the MFD using the High-Speed Data Bus.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-9 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP The G1000 System is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The Garmin G1000 PFD/MFD and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built- in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs, and outputs to provide safe operation. While the system begins to initialize, test annunciations are displayed on the PFD at power-up. All system annunciations should clear within the first minute of power-up. The Audio Panel also annunciates all bezel lights briefly upon power-up. On the PFD, the AHRS system displays an ‘AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level’ message and begins to initialize. The AHRS should display valid attitude and heading fields within the first minute of power-up. The AHRS can align itself while the aircraft is taxiing or during level flight. Figure 1-4 PFD Initialization NOTE: Refer to the approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. NOTE: Refer to the Annunciations and Alerts section for more information regarding system annunciations and alerts. NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-10 SYSTEM OVERVIEW When the MFD powers up, the MFD Power-up page displays the following data: • System version • Copyright • Checklist filename • Land database name and version • Obstacle database name and version • Terrain database name and version • Aviation database name, version, and effective dates Figure 1-5 MFD Power-up Page When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Current database information is displayed with valid operating dates, cycle number and database type. Press the ENT key to acknowledge this information and proceed to the Navigation Map Page. When the system has acquired a sufficient number of satellites to determine a position, the Navigation Map Page appears showing the aircraft current position. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-11 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING NOTE: Refer to the Primary Flight Display section for instructions on manually adjusting the backlighting. The G1000 PFD and MFD displays use photocell technology to automatically adjust for ambient lighting conditions. Photocell calibration curves are pre-configured to optimize display appearance through a broad range of cockpit lighting conditions. PFD, MFD, and Audio Panel bezel/key lighting are normally controlled directly by the existing instrument panel dimmer bus. If desired, PFD and MFD display backlighting and PFD, MFD, and Audio Panel bezel/key brightness can also be adjusted manually. Audio Panel bezel/key brightness is directly tied to MFD bezel/key adjustment. Figure 1-6 G1000 Normal Operation 1.7 SYSTEM OPERATION NORMAL OPERATION The PFD and MFD are connected together on a single Ethernet bus, allowing for high-speed communication between the two units. Each IAU is connected to a single display, as shown in Figure 1-1. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration. In normal operating mode, the PFD displays graphical flight instrumentation in lieu of traditional gyro instruments. Attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed are all shown on one display (refer to the PFD section for more information). The MFD shows a full-color moving map with navigation information (refer to the MFD section for a complete discussion of MFD operation). Both displays offer control of COM and NAV frequency selection, as well as heading, course/baro, and altitude select functions. On the left of the MFD display, the Engine Indication System (EIS) cluster shows engine and airframe instrumentation (see the EIS section). The following figure shows an example of normal G1000 System operation. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-12 SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY MODE Should a failure occur in either display, the G1000 automatically enters reversionary mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is shown on the remaining display. Figure 1-7 shows an example of G1000 reversionary mode where the PFD has failed. If a display fails, the appropriate GIA 63-GDU 1040 Ethernet interface is cut off. Thus, the IAU can no longer communicate with the remaining display (refer to Figure 1-1), and the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed display by the IAU are flagged as invalid on the remaining display. The system reverts to backup paths for the AHRS, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and transponder, as required. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no pilot action is required. Figure 1-7 G1000 Reversionary Mode (Failed PFD) NOTE: The system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Annunciations and Alerts section for further information regarding these and other system alerts. If the system fails to detect a display problem, reversionary mode may be manually activated by pressing the Audio Panel’s red DISPLAY BACKUP button. Pressing this button again deactivates reversionary mode. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-13 SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS MODES OF OPERATION The GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) performs attitude, heading, and vertical acceleration calculations for the G1000 System utilizing GPS, Magnetometer, and air data in addition to information from its internal sensors. Attitude and heading information are updated on the PFD while the AHRS receives appropriate combinations of information from the external sensor inputs (see Figure 1-8). Loss of GPS, Magnetometer, or air data inputs is communicated to the pilot by message advisory alerts. Any failure of the internal AHRS inertial sensors results in loss of attitude and heading information (as indicated by red ‘X” flags over the corresponding flight instruments on the PFD). NOTE: Refer to the Annunciations and Alerts section for specific AHRS alert information. Attitude/Heading Invalid available unavailable AHRS no-GPS Mode AHRS Normal Operation Airspeed Data available unavailable AHRS no-Mag Mode AHRS no-Mag/ no-Air Mode Heading Invalid available unavailable available unavailable available unavailable GPS Magnetometer Figure 1-8 AHRS Operation GPS Input Failure Two GPS inputs are provided to the AHRS. If GPS information from one of the inputs fails, the AHRS uses the remaining GPS input and an alert message is issued to inform the pilot. If both GPS inputs fail, the AHRS can continue to provide attitude and heading information to the PFD as long as Magnetometer and airspeed data are available and valid. Magnetometer Failure If the Magnetometer input fails, the AHRS continues to output valid attitude information; however, the heading output on the PFD is flagged as invalid with a red ‘X’. Air Data Input Failure Failure of the air data input has no effect on the AHRS output while AHRS is receiving valid GPS information. Invalid/unavailable airspeed data in addition to GPS failure results in loss of all attitude and heading information. NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. 190-00592-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 1-14 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.8 CHECKLISTS (OPTIONAL) The G1000 MFD is able to display electronic checklists customized for the Diamond DA40.

A 2-1 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY 2.1 INTRODUCTION WARNING: In the event that the airspeed, attitude, altitude, or heading indications become unusable, please refer to the backup instruments. This section describes the major features of the G1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) as installed on Diamond DA40, DA40F, and DA40D aircraft. Information is dis- played using the G1000’s two 10.4-inch color flat-panel displays. During normal operation, the left display is con- figured as a Primary Flight Display. The PFD provides increased situational awareness by replacing the traditional “six-pack” of instruments on the pilot’s panel with an easy-to-scan display that provides a large horizon and airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed, navigation, communication, annunciation, terrain, traffic, and lightning (optional) information. The PFD also controls the operation of the transponder, the selec- tion of NAV/COM frequencies, audio volume, and many navigation features. The operation of these features is ex- plained in other supporting sections. The G1000 system controls were designed so that, re- gardless of which seat the pilot is flying from, the aircraft can be flown with one hand and the controls manipulated with the other hand. The PFD displays the following: • Flight Instruments (2.4) – Airspeed Indicator with True Airspeed Box – Attitude and Slip/Skid Indicators – Altimeter with Selected Altitude and Barometric Setting Boxes – Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator – Marker Beacon Annunciations – Vertical Speed Indicator – Horizontal Situation Indicator - Turn Rate Indicator - Bearing Pointers and Information Windows - DME Information Window - Radio Tuning Window (ADF/DME) - Navigation Source • Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) Information (2.5) – Communication (COM) Frequency Window – Navigation (NAV) Frequency Window – Navigation Status Bar – Transponder Status Bar • Supplemental Flight Data (2.6) – Outside Air Temperature Box – System Time Box – Inset Map – Auxiliary Windows - Timer/References Window - Nearest Airports Window - Direct-to Window - Flight Plan Window - Procedures Window • Alerts and Annunciations (2.8) – Alerts Window – Annunciation Window – Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) Alert Annunciations – Traffic Annunciation Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 190-00592-00 Rev.

A 2-9 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY 2.4 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AIRSPEED INDICATOR The Airspeed indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge, using a moving tape. The following infor- mation is also displayed: • Speed indication • Speed ranges • Airspeed Trend Vector • Vspeed References Speed Indication The numeric labels and major tick marks on the mov- ing tape are marked at intervals of 10 knots, while minor tick marks on the moving tape are indicated at intervals of 5 knots. Speed indication starts at 20 knots, with 60 knots of airspeed viewable at any time. The actual air- speed is displayed inside the black pointer. The pointer remains black until reaching never-exceed speed (V NE), at which point it turns red. Speed Ranges A color-coded (white, green, yellow, and red) speed range strip is located on the moving tape. The colors de- note flaps operating range, normal operating range, cau- tion range, and never-exceed speed (VNE). A red range is also present for low speed awareness. Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) for speed criteria. Airspeed Trend Vector The Airspeed Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line extending up or down on the airspeed scale, located right of the color-coded speed range strip. The end of the trend vector displays approximately what airspeed will be reached in six seconds if the current rate of acceleration or deceleration is maintained. The trend vector is absent if the speed remains constant or if any data needed to calcu- late airspeed is not available due to a system failure. Vspeed References Vspeeds are set using the TMR/REF softkey. Glide, V R, VX, and V Y are shown on the References window. When active (ON), the Vspeeds are displayed at their respective locations to the right of the airspeed scale (refer to the Auxiliary Windows portion of this Flight Instruments sec- tion to set and display Vspeeds). True Airspeed Box The True Airspeed box is located below the Airspeed indicator and displays the true airspeed in knots.

A 2-11 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Pitch Indication Major pitch marks and numeric labels at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 degrees are shown above and be- low the horizon line. Minor pitch marks at 5, 15 and 25 degrees above the horizon line and 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45 degrees below the horizon line are shown. The horizon line is part of the pitch scale. Red extreme pitch warning chevrons pointing toward the horizon are displayed start- ing at 50 degrees above and 30 degrees below the horizon line (refer to the figures on the next page). Figure 2-12 Pitch Attitude Warnings Nose Low Nose High Roll Indication Major tick marks at 30 and 60 degrees and minor tick marks at 10, 20 and 45 degrees are shown to the left and right on the roll scale. The inverted white triangle indi- cates 0 on the roll scale. Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the roll pointer on the roll scale. Slip/Skid Indication The Slip/Skid indicator resides beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves with the roll pointer and moves later- ally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration. A slip/skid is indicated by the location of the Slip/Skid indicator relative to the roll pointer. One Slip/Skid indica- tor displacement is equal to one ball displacement when compared to a traditional Slip/Skid indicator.

A 2-12 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY ALTIMETER The Altimeter displays barometric altitude values in feet on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The Altimeter displays the following information: • Altitude values • Altitude Select Bug • Altitude Trend Vector • Selected Altitude box • Barometric Setting Box • Altitude Alerting function Selected Altitude Box Altitude Trend Vector Current Altitude Barometric Setting Box Altitude Select Bug Figure 2-14 Altimeter Altitude Values The numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer. Altitude Select Bug The Altitude Select Bug is displayed at the Selected Altitude or the edge of the tape (whichever is closer to the current altitude) to provide increased altitude aware- ness. This altitude also appears in the Selected Altitude Box above the Altimeter. To set the Selected Altitude bug: Turn the ALT knobs to set the Selected Altitude bug. The small ALT knob sets the hundreds and the large ALT knob sets the thousands. Altitude Trend Vector The vertical, magenta line extends up or down the al- titude scale located left of the numeric labels. The end of the trend vector displays approximately what altitude will be reached in six seconds if the current rate of vertical speed is maintained. The trend vector is absent if altitude remains constant or if any data needed to calculate it is not available due to a system failure. Selected Altitude Box The Selected Altitude box is located above the Altim- eter and displays, in feet, the altitude selected by turning the ALT knobs. The metric value, when selected, is dis- played on top of the Selected Altitude box. Barometric Setting Box The Barometric Setting Box displays the barometric pressure in inches of mercury (in Hg) or hectopascals (hPa). To select barometric pressure: Turn the large BARO (outer) knob to select the desired setting. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 190-00592-00 Rev. A 2-13 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Altitude Alerting The altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with a visual alert when approaching the Selected Altitude. This function is independent of the flight control system. Visu- al annunciations appear in the Selected Altitude box. The Altitude Alerting function is reset whenever the Selected Altitude is adjusted. The Selected Altitude Box flashes for five seconds, re- versing color to black text on a cyan background when the aircraft reaches 1000 feet from the Selected Altitude. At 200 feet from the Selected Altitude, color reversal to normal occurs along with an aural tone. After capturing the Selected Altitude, the Altitude Alerting feature alerts the pilot whenever deviations of ±200 ft from the Selected Altitude occur. The Selected Altitude Box flashes yellow text on a black background for five seconds to indicate the deviation.

A 2-14 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY VERTICAL DEVIATION/GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR The Vertical Deviation/Glideslope indicator is a win- dow on the left side of the Altimeter. The window appears when an ILS is tuned in the active NAV field (and selected on the Audio Panel). A green diamond appears and acts as the vertical deviation indication, just like a glideslope needle on a conventional indicator. MARKER BEACON ANNUNCIATIONS Marker Beacon Annunciations are displayed on the PFD to the left of the Selected Altitude Box. Outer marker reception is indicated by a blue light, middle by amber, and inner by white (refer to the Audio Panel section for more information). Figure 2-17 Marker Beacon and Vertical Deviation Marker Beacon Annunciation Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft verti- cal speed with numeric labels and tick marks at 1,000 ft and 2,000 ft in each direction on the non-moving tape. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 500 ft. Vertical Speed Pointer The Vertical Speed pointer displays the current vertical speed and points to that speed on the non-moving tape. If the rate of ascent is greater than 2,000 feet per minute, the pointer appears at the top edge of the non-moving tape and the number of feet per minute appears inside the pointer. If the rate of descent is greater than 2,000 feet per minute, a negative sign is displayed in the pointer (-2,000) for negative (down) vertical speed and the point- er appears at the bottom edge of the non-moving tape. NOTE: Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm.

A 2-15 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a ro- tating compass card with letters at the cardinal points and numeric labels every 30 degrees. Major tick marks are at 10-degree intervals and minor tick marks at 5 degree intervals. The HSI is displayed in a heading-up orienta- tion. The HSI is available in two formats (360˚ compass rose and 140˚ arc). The HSI displays the following infor- mation: • Heading indication • Turn Rate Indicator • Course Deviation Indicator • Bearing pointers and information windows (360˚ HSI only) • DME Information Window • Navigation source HSI Display Format The HSI compass can be displayed as a 360° rose or a 140° arc by pressing the PFD softkey, followed by the 360 HSI, or the ARC HSI softkey. 360˚ HSI The 360˚ HSI contains a course deviation indicator (CDI), with a course pointer arrow, the TO/FROM arrow, a sliding deviation bar and scale. The course pointer is a single line arrow (GPS, VOR1 and LOC1) or a double line arrow (VOR2 and LOC2) which points in the direction of the set course. The TO/FROM arrow rotates with the course pointer and is displayed when the active NAVAID is received.

A 2-16 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Arc HSI NOTE: When the Arc HSI is displayed the BRG1 and BRG2 Information Windows and pointers are disabled. NOTE: If the pilot makes a heading change greater than 105˚ with respect to the course, the CDI switches to the opposite side of the deviation scale and displays reverse sensing. The Arc HSI is a 140˚ expanded section of the com- pass rose. The Arc contains a course pointer arrow, the TO/FROM indicator, a sliding deviation indicator (the TO/FROM and sliding deviation indicators are one and the same), and a deviation scale. Upon station passage, the TO/FROM indicator flips and points to the tail of the aircraft, just like the conventional TO/FROM flag. De- pending on the navigation source, the CDI on the Arc HSI can appear in two different ways: • GPS, OBS, VOR – Arrowhead • Localizer – Diamond Lateral Deviation Scale Course Deviation and TO/FROM Indicator Figure 2-20 Arc HSI Heading Indication A digital reading of the current magnetic heading ap- pears on top of the HSI. A rotatable heading bug on the compass rose or Arc marks the desired heading. Figure 2-21 Current Heading When the pilot selects a heading by rotating the HDG knob, a digital reading appears for three (3) seconds in a box to the left of the lubber line, next to the HSI. Figure 2-22 Selected Heading Box When the pilot selects a course by rotating the CRS knob, a digital reading appears for three (3) seconds in a box to the right of the lubber line, next to the HSI. Figure 2-23 Selected Course Box NOTE: The heading displayed on the HSI is always magnetic, even if the NAV ANGLE is set to ‘TRUE’ in the AUX System Setup Page on the MFD. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 190-00592-00 Rev. A 2-17 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Turn Rate Indicator The Turn Rate Indicator is located directly above the rotating compass card. Tick marks to the left and right of the lubber line denote half-standard and standard turn rates. A magenta turn rate trend vector shows the current turn rate. The end of the trend vector gives the heading predicted in six seconds, based on the present turn rate. At rates greater than 4 deg/sec, an arrowhead appears at the end of the magenta trend vector and the prediction is no longer valid. Figure 2-24 Turn Rate Indicator and Trend Vector Half-Standard Turn Rate Tick Mark Standard Turn Rate Tick Mark Turn Rate Trend Vector (rate > 4 deg/sec) A standard-rate turn (3 deg/sec) is shown on the in- dicator by the trend vector stopping at the standard turn rate tick mark, corresponding to a predicted heading of 18 degrees from the current heading. Figure 2-25 Standard-Rate Turn Indication Turn Rate Trend Vector (standard rate) Course Deviation Indicator The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or right from the course pointer along a deviation scale to display aircraft position relative to the course. The CDI has the same angular limits as a mechanical CDI when coupled to a VOR or LOC. When coupled to GPS, the full scale limits for the CDI are defined by a GPS-derived distance (5.0, 1.0, or 0.3 nm). The CDI scale automatically adjusts to the desired limits based upon the current phase of flight (en route: 5.0 nm, terminal area: 1.0 nm, or approach: 0.3 nm). The desired GPS scale set- tings may be selected manually from the MFD (refer to the Multi Function Display section). Figure 2-26 Arc CDI and Compass Rose CDI Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA40 190-00592-00 Rev. A 2-18 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Bearing Pointers and Information Windows Up to two bearing pointers can be displayed on the HSI. Pressing the PFD softkey provides access to the BRG1 and BRG2 softkeys. The BRG1 pointer is a single cyan line with an open arrowhead at the end. The BRG2 pointer is a double cyan line with an open arrowhead at the end. The bearing pointers never override the CDI. When at least one bearing pointer is displayed (but not necessarily visible if there is no data available), a white ring appears around the center of the compass rose to vi- sually separate the bearing pointer(s) from the CDI. When a bearing pointer is displayed, its associated Information Window is also displayed. The Bearing 1 (BRG1) Information Window is displayed to the lower left of the HSI and includes the bearing source (NAV1 or GPS), a pointer icon, frequency (NAV1), and distance to the bearing source. The Bearing 2 (BRG2) Information Window is displayed to the lower right of the HSI and in- cludes the bearing source (NAV2 or GPS), a pointer icon, frequency (NAV2), and distance to the bearing source. If GPS is the bearing source, the active waypoint identifier is displayed in lieu of a frequency. If an active waypoint is not selected, the bearing pointer is removed from the HSI and “NO DATA” is displayed in the informa- tion window. If the NAV radio is the bearing source and is tuned to an ILS frequency, the bearing pointer is removed from the HSI and the frequency is replaced with “ILS”. If the NAV radio is not receiving the tuned VOR station, the bear- ing pointer is removed from the HSI and the frequency field displays “NO DATA”. When NAV1 or NAV2 is the selected bearing source, the frequency is replaced by the station identifier when the station is in range.

A 2-21 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY Navigation Source NOTE: OBS is only available with the active flight plan leg, when navigating under GPS. The HSI can display two sources of navigation: GPS or NAV (VOR, localizer, and glideslope). In GPS mode, the flight plan legs are sequenced automatically. Enabling OBS mode suspends auto sequencing of waypoints, but retains the current “active-to” waypoint as the navigation reference even after passing the waypoint. When OBS is disabled, the GPS returns to normal operation, with au- tomatic sequencing of waypoints. OBS mode also allows the pilot to set the desired course TO/FROM a waypoint. Color indicates the current navigation source: magenta (for GPS) or green (for VOR and LOC). As the pilot cross- es the MAP, “SUSP” appears on the HSI in place of “OBS” and the OBS softkey (now) reads “SUSP”, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspend- ed at the MAP.
