April, 2013 190-01460-00 Rev. A Printed in the U.S.A. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer 190-01460-00 Rev. A Warnings, Cautions & Notes WARNING: Do not use the terrain avoidance feature as the sole means of navigation and terrain separation. The terrain avoidance feature is only to be used as and aid to terrain avoidance. Garmin obtains terrain database content from third party sources and is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data. WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: Do not use GPS-derived geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic control altitude requirements in the National Airspace System (NAS) or internationally. The primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements, instructions, and clearance. WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current.

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 only 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. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer 190-01460-00 Rev. A Warnings, Cautions & Notes 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: 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: Do not rely on information from the lightning detection system display as the sole basis for hazard weather avoidance. Range limitations and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete information. Refer to the documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for detailed information about the system. WARNING: The Garmin system, 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: Do not use the system until carefully reviewing, and gaining a thorough understanding of all aspects of the system’s Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Airplane Flight Manual. Do not attempt to learn system operational procedures while the aircraft is in the air. For safety reasons, system operational procedures must be learned on the ground. 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 system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer 190-01460-00 Rev. A Warnings, Cautions & Notes WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the system 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 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 system 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 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer 190-01460-00 Rev. A Warnings, Cautions & 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 system 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 thunderstorm 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 cleaned. NOTE: Do not rely 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 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current system and databases.

A 10 EIS Flight Instruments EIS Nav/Com/ XPDR/Audio GPS Nav Flight Planning Procedures Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Abnormal Operation Annun/Alerts Appendix Index Fuel Calculations NOTE: Fuel calculations do not use the aircraft fuel quantity indicators and are calculated from the last time the fuel was reset. Fuel used (GAL USED), endurance (ENDUR), range (in nautical miles, RANGE NM), and fuel efficiency (in nautical miles per gallon, NMPG) are calculated based on the displayed fuel remaining (GAL REM) and the fuel flow totalizer. The calculated range also takes into account the aircraft’s heading and the wind direction and speed. Adjusting the fuel totalizer quantity: On the Engine Page, use the DEC FUEL and INC FUEL softkeys to obtain the desired fuel remaining (GAL REM). Resetting the fuel totalizer: On the Engine Page, press the RST FUEL Softkey; this resets displayed fuel remaining (GAL REM) to the maximum fuel capacity for the aircraft and fuel used to zero. Pressing the TABS Softkey resets the fuel remaining quantity to the filler neck tabs quantity. Fuel Calculations Group Fuel Efficiency Calculated Range Calculated Endurance Calculated Fuel Used Set Fuel Remaining A map feature related to the EIS Fuel Calculations is the Fuel Range Ring, which graphically illustrates the aircraft’s remaining range based on the endurance (ENDUR), heading, groundspeed, and wind direction and speed. The solid green circle represents the range until all the remaining fuel is depleted. The dashed green circle indicates the aircraft range until only reserve fuel remains. Once on reserve fuel, the range is indicated by a solid yellow circle. The Fuel Range Ring shifts position in relation to the aircraft according to wind effects. For example, more fuel is required for flying into a headwind, and the aircraft’s decreased range in that direction is indicated by the Fuel Range Ring shifting toward the tail of the Aircraft Symbol.

A 20 GPS Navigation Flight Instruments EIS Nav/Com/ XPDR/Audio GPS Nav Flight Planning Procedures Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Abnormal Operation Annun/Alerts Appendix Index Altitudes associated with approach procedures are “auto-designated”. This means the system will automatically use the altitudes loaded with the approach for giving vertical flight path guidance outside the FAF. Note these altitudes are displayed as small light blue text. Altitudes associated with arrival procedures are “manually-designated”. This means the system will not use the altitudes loaded with the arrival for giving vertical flight path guidance until designated to do so by the pilot. Note that these altitudes are initially displayed as white text. These altitudes may be “designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing the ENT Key. After designation, the text changes to light blue. Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical navigation may also be made “non-designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing the CLR Key. The altitude is now displayed only as a reference. It will not be used to give vertical flight path guidance. 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. NOTE: Making course changes greater than 90° during a descent with vertical guidance may cause excessive and rapid movement of the vertical deviation indicator, and SVT Pathways. The system updates vertical path guidance continuously using ground speed and the calculated distance to the Bottom of Descent (BOD). Due to turn anticipation guidance (turn-smoothing), distance to the BOD can be affected by course changes greater than approximately 5 degrees. Ground speed can be affected by factors such as shifts in wind direction, aircraft power management, pitch angle, and course changes. Abrupt and/or substantial changes to either the distance to the BOD, ground speed, or both can cause similarly abrupt/substantial changes in vertical path guidance. Because of turn-smoothing, changes to both distance to the BOD and ground speed tend to be more extreme when the BOD is also a waypoint that marks a large course change. These speed and distance changes will be accounted for in the computed required vertical path and reflected in the vertical guidance indications.
