Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42

E-mail: avionics.europe@garmin.com Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 190-00649-03 Rev. B ii WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The terrain avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data. WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: The altitude calculated by G1000 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74A Air Data Computer, or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the G1000 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft. WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk. WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for detailed information about the system. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground. 190-00649-03 Rev. B Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 iii WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in this aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be misused 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 Integrated Avionics System in the Airplane Flight Manual. 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: Do not use the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding any thunderstorm identified as severe of giving intense radar echo by at least 20 miles. WARNING : Lamp(s) inside this product may contain mercury (HG) and must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/ aboutGarmin/environment/disposal.jsp. WARNING : Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the G1000 within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes; South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes; North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia); South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New Zealand) WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be positioned in error as displayed. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 190-00649-03 Rev. B iv WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES CAUTION: The 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. 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. NOTE: When using Stormscope, 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. NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control. 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 and aviation databases. 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 : Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition. NOTE : Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank. NOTE : This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

NOTE: Refer to Appendix A for system-specific annunciations and alerts. The G1000 System is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The 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. During system initialization, test annunciations are displayed, as shown in Figure 1-4. All system annunciations should disappear typically within the first minute of power-up. Upon power-up, key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the Audio Panel and the display bezels. On the PFD, the AHRS begins to initialize and displays “AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level”. The AHRS should display valid attitude and heading fields typically within the first minute of power-up. The AHRS can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight. When the MFD powers up, the splash screen (Figure 1-5) displays the following information: • System version • Airport Terrain database name and version • Copyright • Obstacle database name and version • Land database name and version • Aviation database name, version, and effective dates • Safe Taxi database information • FliteCharts/ChartView database information • Terrain database name and version Current database information includes valid operating dates, cycle number, and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Pressing the ENT Key (or right-most softkey) acknowledges this information, and the Navigation Map Page is displayed upon pressing the key a second time. When the system has acquired a sufficient number of satellites to determine a position, the aircraft’s current position is shown on the Navigation Map Page.

Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for additional information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations. The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1, each IAU is connected to the on-side display. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration DISPLAY OPERATION NOTE: In normal operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD. In Reversionary Mode, it can be adjusted from the remaining display. In normal operating mode, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed), replacing the traditional flight instrument cluster (see the Flight Instruments Section for more information). The MFD normally displays a full-color moving map with navigation information (see the Flight Management Section), while the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (EIS; see the EIS Section). Both displays offer control for COM and NAV frequency selection. Figure 1-6 G1000 Normal Operation In the event of a display failure, the G1000 System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In Reversionary Mode, all important flight information from the PFD is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode, with the addition of the EIS. EIS operation while in Reversionary Mode is discussed in the EIS Section. As when the PFD is operating normally, windows for flight planning, nearest airports, and procedures are available. The Inset Map is moved to the right side of the display. If a display fails, the appropriate IAU-display 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. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 190-00649-03 Rev.

B Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 13 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX AHRS OPERATION NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. The 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. Figure 1-10 AHRS Operation AHRS no-GPS Mode AHRS coast-on-gyros until invalid AHRS Normal Mode AHRS no-Mag Mode AHRS no-Mag/ no-Air Mode Heading Invalid Heading Invalid Attitude/Heading Invalid YES YES YES NO NO NO Air Data Available and Reliable? Mag Data Available and Reliable? YES NO Mag Data AND Air Data Available and Reliable? GPS Data Available and Reliable? Loss of GPS, magnetometer, or air data inputs is communicated to the pilot by message advisory alerts (refer to Appendix A for specific AHRS alert information). Any failure of the internal AHRS inertial sensors results in loss of attitude and heading information (indicated by red ‘X’ flags over the corresponding flight instruments). 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. 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’. 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. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 190-00649-03 Rev. B 14 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX GPS RECEIVER OPERATION Each Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) contains a GPS receiver. Internal system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFD. When both GPS receivers are providing accurate data, the GPS receiver producing the better solution is used by the system. Information collected by the specified receiver (GPS1 for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the AUX - GPS Status Page. Viewing GPS receiver status information: 1) Use the large FMS Knob on the MFD to select the Auxiliary Page Group (see Section 1.6 for information on navigating MFD page groups). 2) Use the small FMS Knob to select GPS Status Page (third page in the AUX Page Group). 3) To change the selected GPS receiver: Press the desired GPS Softkey. Or: a) Press the MENU Key. b) Use the FMS Knob to highlight the receiver which is not selected and press the ENT Key.

B Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 15 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX For SBAS-enabled systems, GPS sensor annunciations are most often seen after system power-up when one GPS receiver has acquired satellites before the other or one of the GPS receivers has not yet acquired a SBAS signal. While the aircraft is on the ground, the SBAS signal may be blocked by obstructions causing one GPS receiver to have difficulty acquiring a good signal. Also, while airborne, turning the aircraft may result in one of the GPS receivers temporarily losing the SBAS signal. If no failure message exists, check the GPS Status Page and compare the information for GPS1 and GPS2. Discrepancies may indicate a problem. GPS RECEIVER STATUS The GPS solution type (ACQUIRING, 2D NAV, 2D DIFF NAV, 3D NAV, 3D DIFF NAV) for the active GPS receiver (GPS1 or GPS2) is shown in the upper right of the GPS Status Page. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. ACQUIRING is indicated as the solution until a sufficient number of satellites have been acquired for computing a solution. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D navigational GPS solution, 3D NAV is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition. Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) status should be indicated as INACTIVE at this point. When acquisition is complete, the solution status changes to 3D DIFF NAV and SBAS becomes active. In certain situations, such as when the aircraft is outside or on the fringe of the SBAS coverage area, it may be desirable to disable SBAS (although it is not recommended). When disabled, the SBAS field in the GPS Status box indicates DISABLED. Disabling SBAS (for SBAS-enabled systems): 1) Select the GPS Status Page. 2) Press the SBAS Softkey. The RAIM PREDICTION box is replaced by SBAS SELECTION. 3) Press the FMS Knob. ‘WAAS’ is highlighted. 4) Press the ENT Key to uncheck the box. 5) Press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor.

B 16 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX RAIM PREDICTION Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a GPS receiver function that performs a consistency check on all tracked satellites. RAIM ensures that the available satellite geometry allows the receiver to calculate a position within a specified RAIM protection limit (2.0 nautical miles for oceanic and enroute, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). During oceanic, enroute, and terminal phases of flight, RAIM is available nearly 100% of the time. The RAIM prediction function also indicates whether RAIM is available at a specified date and time. RAIM computations predict satellite coverage within ±15 min of the specified arrival date and time. In G1000 systems with SBAS enabled, performing RAIM prediction is not necessary in most cases. However, if the selected approach is outside the SBAS coverage area, it may be necessary to perform a RAIM prediction for the intended approach. Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The G1000 automatically monitors RAIM and warns with an alert message when it is not available. If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the messages “Approach is not active”. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the missed approach procedure must be flown. Predicting RAIM availability: 1) Select the GPS Status Page. 2) Press the RAIM Softkey. 2) Press the FMS Knob. The ‘WAYPOINT’ field is highlighted. 3) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the Waypoint Information Window. 4) Enter the desired waypoint and press the ENT Key (refer to Section 1.6 for instructions on data entry). Or: a) To use the present position, press the MENU Key. b) With ‘Set WPT to Present Position’ highlighted, press the ENT Key. c) Press the ENT Key to accept the waypoint entry. 5) Enter an arrival time and press the ENT Key. 6) Enter an arrival date and press the ENT Key. 7) With the cursor highlighting ‘COMPUTE RAIM?’, press the ENT Key. Once RAIM availability is computed, one of the following is displayed: • ‘COMPUTE RAIM?’—RAIM has not been computed for the current waypoint, time, and date combination • ‘COMPUTING AVAILABILITY’—RAIM calculation in progress • ‘RAIM AVAILABLE’—RAIM is predicted to be available for the specified waypoint, time, and date • ‘RAIM NOT AVAILABLE’—RAIM is predicted to be unavailable for the specified waypoint, time, and date 190-00649-03 Rev. B Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 17 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX SATELLITE INFORMATION Satellites currently in view are shown at their respective positions on a satellite constellation diagram. This sky view is always oriented north-up, with the outer circle representing the horizon, the inner circle representing 45° above the horizon, and the center point showing the position directly overhead. Each satellite is represented by an oval containing the Pseudo-random noise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite identification number). Satellites whose signals are currently being used are represented by solid ovals. The GPS Status Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRN number (01-32 or 120-138 for SBAS) below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is indicated by signal bar appearance: • No signal strength bar—Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite. • Hollow signal strength bar—Receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data. Each satellite has a 30- second data transmission that must be collected (signal strength bar is hollow) before the satellite may be used for navigation (signal strength bar becomes solid). • Solid signal strength bar—Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can be used. • Checkered signal strength bar—Receiver has excluded the satellite (Fault Detection and Exclusion; FDE). • “D” indication on signal strength bar—Satellite is being used for differential computations. • Green signal strength bar—Satellites that are actually being used in the position calculation. • Blue signal strength bar—Satellite is locked on but not yet being used in the position calculation. Using the current satellite signal information, the system calculates the aircraft’s GPS position, time, altitude, ground speed, and track for the aircraft (displayed below the satellite signal accuracy measurements for reference). The following quantities denote the accuracy of the aircraft’s GPS fix: • Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU)—A statistical error indication; the radius of a circle centered on an estimated horizontal position in which actual position has 95% probability of lying • Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP)—Measures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they are relative to each other) on a range from 0.0 to 9.9, with lower numbers denoting better accuracy • Horizontal and Vertical Figures of Merit (HFOM and VFOM)—Measures of horizontal and vertical position uncertainty; the current 95% confidence horizontal and vertical accuracy values reported by the GPS receiver Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 190-00649-03 Rev.

This options list allows the user to access additional features or make settings changes which specifically relate to the currently displayed window/page. There is no all-encompassing menu. Some menus provide access to additional submenus that are used to view, edit, select, and review options. Menus display ‘No Options’ when there are no additional features or settings for the window/page selected. Navigating a menu: 1) Press the MENU Key to display the menu. 2) Turn the FMS Knob to scroll through a list of available options (a scroll bar always appears to the right of the window/box when the option list is longer than the window/box). 3) Press the ENT Key to select the desired option. 4) Press the CLR Key or FMS Knob to remove the menu and cancel the operation. Figure 1-21 Page Menu Examples No Options for NRST Window Options for FPL Window DATA ENTRY The FMS Knob can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data (e.g., Flight ID, waypoint identifiers, barometric minimum descent altitude) into the G1000 In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the G1000 tries to predict the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the ENT Key to confirm the entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the characters of the identifier. Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a waypoint identifier, turning the small FMS Knob counter- clockwise accesses three different lists of waypoint identifiers for quick selection: flight plan (FPL), nearest (NRST), and recently-entered (RECENT). The G1000 automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the selected waypoint. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42 190-00649-03 Rev.
