or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. WARNING: 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. WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the G1000 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo.” CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD and GDU 1042 or 1044 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. 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.

A 1-10 SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 VERTICAL NAVIGATION In WAAS capable installations, one of two altitude sources is used by the G1000 when giving vertical navigation guidance. WAAS GPS altitude is used when giving guidance for a WAAS approach. Baro corrected altitude is used when vertical guidance is given in all other situations and in non-WAAS systems. The G1000 system can use altitude constraints associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for vertical navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the specific instance, entered by the pilot or retrieved from the published altitudes in the navigation database. The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes. If the procedure states “Expect to cross at,” then the altitude will not be in the database. In this case the altitude may be entered manually. NOTE: All arrival procedure altitudes contained in the navigation database are for turbojet aircraft only. Alter or enter altitudes as desired to comply with the ATC clearance. When activating or loading an arrival or approach procedure into an active flight plan, the VNV ‘ALT’ fields will be populated with any altitudes that can be retrieved from the navigation database. Since altitudes loaded with an arrival procedure are published only for turbojet aircraft, the altitudes are displayed as white text indicating that the altitudes are displayed for reference only. An arrival waypoint altitude may be used (or “designated”) as is, or changed to a different altitude. An altitude is designated by pressing the FMS Knob and turning the large FMS Knob to place the cursor on the desired altitude and pressing the ENT Key or entering a different value and pressing the ENT Key. The altitude will now be displayed as light blue text, indicating that the altitude is now designated to give vertical speed and deviation guidance. Approach waypoint altitude constraints are designated in the same way as previously described for arrivals. These altitudes will also be displayed as light blue text after being designated for use. Waypoint altitude constraints may be designated up to, but not including the FAF. The FAF will always be a “reference only” altitude and cannot be designated, unless the selected approach does not provide vertical guidance. In this case, the FAF altitude can be designated. Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical guidance may also be made “non-designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing the CLR Key. Other displayed altitudes may change due to re-calculations or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an altitude to a non-designated altitude. To help interpret the meanings of how the altitudes are presented, keep the following points in mind: • When the altitude is displayed in light blue, the system is using that altitude (designated) to determine vertical speed and deviation guidance. • When the altitude is displayed in white, it is not being used by the system (non-designated) to determine the vertical speed and deviation guidance. • An altitude displayed as small text is an altitude that is published in the navigation database. • Altitudes displayed as a light blue subdued text cannot be used in the current vertical navigation calculations. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A 1-11 SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW White Text Light Blue Text Light Blue Subdued Text Large Text Altitude calculated by the system estimating the altitude of the aircraft as it passes over the navigation point. This altitude is provided as a reference and is not designated to be used in determining vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude has been entered by the pilot. Altitude is designated for use in giving vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude does not match the published altitude in navigation database or no published altitude exists. The system cannot use this altitude in determining vertical speed and deviation guidance. Small Text Altitude is not designated to be used in determining vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude has been retrieved from the navigation database and is provided as a reference. Altitude is designated for use in giving vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude has been retrieved from the navigation database or has been entered by the pilot and matches a published altitude in the navigation database. The system cannot use this altitude in determining vertical speed and deviation guidance.

The audio must be manually unmuted once the aircraft is outside the applicable speed range. Refer to the Additional Features section of the G1000 Pilot’s Guide. 1.8 DATABASE UPDATES The G1000 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as Jeppesen aviation and ChartView database updates. The following procedures pertain to updating the G1000 system with SD cards as outlined in Appendix B of the G1000 Diamond DA40/40F Pilot’s Guide. Jeppesen Aviation Database NOTE: After the aviation database is installed, the card may be removed after loading the update to each LRU. Updating the Jeppesen aviation database: 1) With the G1000 System OFF, insert the SD card containing the aviation database update into the top card slot of the PFD to be updated (Label of SD card facing left). 2) Turn the G1000 System ON. A prompt similar to the following is displayed in the upper left corner of the PFD: Figure 1-11 Database Update Prompt Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A 1-13 SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 3) Press the ENT Key to start the database update. A prompt similar to the following is displayed: Figure 1-12 Database Update Confirmation 4) After the update completes, the PFD starts in normal mode. 5) Turn the G1000 System OFF and remove the SD card. 6) Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the MFD. The MFD and PFD databases are now updated. Remove the SD card when finished. 7) Verify that the correct update cycle is loaded during startup of the MFD. Garmin Databases Since these databases are not stored internally in the MFD or PFD, a Supplemental Data Card containing identical database versions must be kept in each display unit. NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. 1) Insert one SD card in the bottom card slot of the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of the PFD. The SD card containing the ChartView or FliteCharts database must be inserted into the bottom slot on the MFD. 2) Apply power to the G1000 System. View the MFD power-up splash screen. Check that the databases are initialized and displayed on the scrolling window of the splash screen. When updating the terrain and FliteCharts databases, an ‘in progress’ message may be seen. If this message is present, wait for the system to finish loading before verifying the correct databases are initialized, then proceed to step 3. Figure 1-13 Power-Up Splash Screen Window 3) Acknowledge the Power-up Page agreement by pressing the ENT Key or the right most softkey. 4) At the MAP – NAVIGATION MAP Page, select the MAP Softkey and check to make sure that the TOPO and TERRAIN Softkeys are available (not dimmed) and other database features are functioning. 5) Power down the G1000.

A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-1 SECTION 6: AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL The GFC 700 AFCS is optional on the DA40 and DA40F. In aircraft without the GFC 700 option, refer to the operating instructions for the installed autopilot system for details. 6.1 AFCS CONTROLS The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the bezels of the MFD: Figure 6-1 AFCS Keys In addition to the AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System) keys on the MFD, as discussed in the System Overview section, the following buttons and switches used by the AFCS are located in the cockpit separately from the PFD and MFD. • AP DISC (Autopilot Disconnect) Button — Located on the left and right control sticks, pressing this button disengages the autopilot. Pressing it also acknowledges an autopilot disconnect. • CWS (Control Wheel Steering) Button — Located on the left and right control sticks, pressing and holding the CWS button disengages the control surface servos without disengaging the autopilot. If the flight director has not been activated, pressing the CWS button will activate the flight director in the default pitch and roll hold modes. • GA (Go Around) Button — Located on the throttle lever, the GA button disengages the autopilot and selects the Go Around (wings level) mode. • AP TRIM (Autopilot Trim) Switch — Located on the left control stick, this switch is used to operate manual electric pitch trim. Moving both switches forward simultaneously trims the aircraft nose down. Moving both switches aft simultaneously trims the aircraft nose up. The left switch is the ARM contact and the right switch controls the up/down trim. Pressing the ARM switch disengages the autopilot, if currently engaged. If one side of the switch is active for more than three seconds without the other side also being active, ‘PTRM’ is displayed in the AFCS System Status Box on the PFD. Pressing the ARM switch also acknowledges an autopilot disconnect. 6.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION With the flight director activated, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars. Maximum commanded pitch (+20°/-15°) and bank (22°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values established during AFCS certification. The flight director also provides commands to the autopilot. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-2 Activating the Flight Director Pressing the FD or AP Key (when the flight director is not active) activates the flight director in default pitch/roll modes. Pushing the GA Switch or any flight director mode key activates the flight director in the respective mode(s). The flight director may be turned off by pressing the FD Key.

A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-3 AFCS Status Box Flight director roll modes are shown on the left and pitch on the right. Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green. Autopilot status is displayed in the center of the AFCS Status Box. 6.3 FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection, the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll mode(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box. Under normal operation, when the control for the active flight director mode is pressed, the flight director reverts to the default mode(s) for the axis(es). Automatic transition from armed to active mode is indicated by the white armed mode annunciation moving to the green active mode field and flashing for ten seconds. A flashing yellow mode annunciation and annunciator light indicate loss of sensor (AHRS, ADC, IAU) or navigation data (VOR, LOC, GPS, VNAV, WAAS) required to compute commands. When such a loss occurs, the system automatically begins to roll the wings level or maintain the pitch angle, depending on the affected axis. The flashing annunciation stops when the affected mode key is pressed or another mode for the axis is selected. If after ten seconds no action is taken, the flashing annunciation stops and the flight director enters the default mode for the affected axis. Figure 6-4 Loss of VOR Signal If the information required to compute a flight director mode becomes invalid or unavailable, the flight director automatically reverts to the default mode for that axis. The flight director is automatically disabled if the attitude information required to compute the default flight director modes becomes invalid or unavailable. Pitch Modes • Pitch Hold (default mode)— Holds the current aircraft pitch attitude; may be used to climb/descend to the Selected Altitude • Selected Altitude Capture — Captures the Selected Altitude • Altitude Hold — Holds the current Altitude Reference • Vertical Speed — Maintains the current aircraft vertical speed; may be used to climb/descend to the Selected Altitude • Flight Level Change — Maintains the current aircraft airspeed while the aircraft is climbing/ descending to the Selected Altitude • Vertical Path Tracking — Follows an active vertical profile for enroute and terminal phases of flight • VNAV Target Altitude Capture — Captures the VNAV Target Altitude • Glidepath — Intercepts and tracks the WAAS glidepath on approach (only available in installations with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units and when WAAS is available) • Glideslope — Intercepts and tracks the ILS glideslope on approach • Go Around — Automatically disengages the autopilot and commands a constant pitch angle and wings level while in the air Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-4 Table 6-1 lists the pitch modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference (shown with default measurement units) is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes.

Table 6-1 Flight Director Pitch Modes Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-5 Pitch Hold Mode (PIT) When the flight director is activated (the FD Key is pressed), Pitch Hold Mode is selected by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active pitch mode by the green annunciation ‘PIT’. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter), since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when the mode is activated. In Pitch Hold Mode, the flight director maintains a constant pitch attitude, the pitch reference. The pitch reference is set to the aircraft attitude at the moment of mode selection. If the aircraft pitch attitude exceeds the flight director pitch command limitations, the flight director commands a pitch angle equal to the nose-up/ down limit. Command Bars Maintain Desired Pitch Reference Pitch Hold Mode Active Selected Altitude Capture Mode Armed Figure 6-5 Pitch Hold Mode Selected Altitude Changing the Pitch Reference When operating in Pitch Hold Mode, the pitch reference can be adjusted by: • Using the NOSE UP/NOSE DN Keys • Pressing the CWS Button, hand-flying the aircraft to establish a new pitch reference, then releasing the CWS Button Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-6 Selected Altitude Capture Mode (ALTS) Selected Altitude Capture Mode arms automatically when the flight director is in Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, Flight Level Change, or Go Around Mode. This mode is also armed automatically under Vertical Path Tracking Mode when the Selected Altitude is to be captured instead of the VNAV Target Altitude. The white ‘ALTS’ annunciation indicates Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed (see Figure 6-5 for example). The ALT Knob is used to set the Selected Altitude, shown above the Altimeter until Selected Altitude Capture Mode becomes active. As the aircraft nears the Selected Altitude, the flight director automatically transitions to Selected Altitude Capture Mode with Altitude Hold Mode armed (Figure 6-7). This automatic transition is indicated by the green ‘ALTS’ annunciation flashing for up to ten seconds and the appearance of the white ‘ALT’ annunciation. The Selected Altitude is shown as the Altitude Reference beside the ‘ALTS’ annunciation. At 50 ft from the Selected Altitude, the flight director automatically transitions from Selected Altitude Capture to Altitude Hold Mode and holds the Selected Altitude (shown as the Altitude Reference). As Altitude Hold Mode becomes active, the white ‘ALT’ annunciation moves to the active pitch mode field and flashes green for ten seconds to indicate the automatic transition. Figure 6-6 Automatic Mode Transitions During Altitude Capture Flash Up to 10 sec, Indicating Automatic Transition Altitude Reference (In This Case, Equal to Selected Altitude) Changing the Selected Altitude NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while in Selected Altitude Capture Mode does not cancel the mode. Use of the ALT Knob to change the Selected Altitude while Selected Altitude Capture Mode is active causes the flight director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode with Selected Altitude Capture Mode armed for the new Selected Altitude. Altitude Hold Mode (ALT) Altitude Hold Mode can be activated by pressing the ALT Key; the flight director maintains the current aircraft altitude (to the nearest ten feet) as the Altitude Reference. The flight director’s Altitude Reference is shown in the AFCS Status Box and is independent of the Selected Altitude, displayed above the Altimeter. Altitude Hold Mode active is indicated by a green ‘ALT’ annunciation in the AFCS Status Box. Altitude Hold Mode is automatically armed when the flight director is in Selected Altitude Capture Mode. Selected Altitude Capture Mode automatically transitions to Altitude Hold Mode when the altitude error is less than 50 ft. In this case, the Selected Altitude becomes the flight director’s Altitude Reference. Changing the Altitude Reference NOTE: Turning the ALT Knob while in Altitude Hold Mode changes the Selected Altitude, but not the flight director’s Altitude Reference and does not cancel the mode. With the CWS Button depressed, the aircraft can be hand-flown to a new Altitude Reference. When the CWS Button is released at the desired altitude, the new altitude is established as the Altitude Reference. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA40/40F 190-00324-07 Rev. A SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL 6-7 If the Selected Altitude is reached during CWS maneuvering, the Altitude Reference is not changed. To adjust the Altitude Reference in this case, the CWS Button must be pressed again after the Selected Altitude is reached. Figure 6-7 Altitude Hold Mode Altitude Hold Mode Active Flight Director Altitude Reference Selected Altitude Selected Altitude Bug Command Bars Hold Pitch Attitude to Maintain Altitude Reference Vertical Speed Mode (VS) In Vertical Speed Mode, the flight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference. Current aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical Speed Mode activation. Vertical Speed Mode does not consider the relative position of the Selected Altitude in relation to the current aircraft altitude at the time of mode activation, so it is possible to use Vertical Speed Mode while not climbing/descending to the Selected Altitude. Vertical Speed Mode is activated by pressing the VS Key; the ‘VS’ annunciation appears in the AFCS Status Box to indicate the active
