GENERAL This Pilot's Operating Handbook is designed for maximum utilization as an operating guide for the pilot. It includes the material required to be furnished to the pilot by F.A.R./C.A.R. It also contains supplemental data supplied by the airplane manufacturer. This handbook is not designed as a substitute for adequate and competent flight instruction, knowledge of current airworthiness directives, applicable federal air regulations or advisory circulars. It is not intended to be a guide for basic flight instruction or a training manual and should not be used for operational purposes unless kept in a current status. Assurance that the airplane is in an airworthy condition is the responsi- bility of the owner. The pilot in command is responsible for determining that the airplane is safe for flight. The pilot is also responsible for remaining within the operating limitations as outlined by instrument markings, placards, and this handbook. Although the arrangement of this handbook is intended to increase its in-flight capabilities, it should not be used solely as an occasional operating reference. The pilot should study the entire handbook to familiarize himself with the limitations, performance, procedures and operational handling characteristics of the airplane before flight. The handbook has been divided into numbered sections, each provided with a ''finger-tip'' tab divider for quick reference. The limitations and emergency procedures have been placed ahead of the normal procedures, performance and other sections to provide easier access to information that may be required in flight. The "Emergency Procedures" Section has been furnished with a red tab divider to present an instant reference to the section. Provision~ for expansion of the handbook have been made by the deliberate omission of certain paragraph numbers, figure numbers, item numbers and pages noted as being intentionally left blank.

Instrument approach navigation predicated upon the Garmin G 1000 GPS Receiver must be accomplished in accordance with approved instrument approach procedures that are retrieved from the G I 000 Navigation database. The G I 000 Navigation database must incorporate the current update cycle or each waypoint must be verified for accuracy with current approach chart data. d) Flight Planning In areas where GPS W AAS SBAS coverage is not available, the pilot must verify RAIM availability. Within the United States, RAIM availability can be determined using the Garmin WFDE Prediction program, or the FAA's enroute and terminal RAIM prediction website: www.raimpred.ietion. net, or by contacting a Flight Service Station. Within Europe, RAIM availability can be determined using the Garmin WFDE Prediction program or Europe"s AUGER GPS RAIM Prediction Tool at http://augur.ecacnav. com/augur/applhome. For other areas, use the Garmin WFDE Prediction program. The route planning and WFDE Prediction program may be downloaded from the Garmin website on the internet. For information on using the WFDE Prediction Program, refer to Garmin WAAS FOE Prediction Program, part number 190-00643, 'WFDE Prediction Program Instructions'. For operations within the U.S. Nation Airspace System on RNP and RNA V procedures when GPS W AAS SBAS signals are not available, the availability of GPS RAIM shall be confirmed for the intended route of flight. In the event of a predicted continuous loss of RAIM of more than five minutes for any part of the intended route of flight, the flight should be delayed, canceled, or re-routed on a track where RAIM requirements can be met. REPORT: VB-2266 2-8 ISSUED: April16, 2013 Commercial PA-28-181, ARCHER Ill SECTION2 LIMITATIONS 2.23 GARMlN G1000 AVIONICS SYSTEM LIMITATIONS (Continued) (d) Flight Planning (Continued) When RAIM is required for GPS integrity (GPS WAAS SBAS not available) during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), other non- GPS navigation equipment appropriate to the operation, must be available. The GlOOO equipment has an alternate airport flight planning limitation. The alternate airport must be flight planned using an available ground-based approach aid. However, once at the alternate airport, the pilot may perform a GPS approach if the equipment indicates integrity is available to support the approach. Refer to section 1-1-19 in the Airman's Information Manual. (e) Enroute Whenever possible, RNP and RNA V routes including Standard Instrument Departures (Sills) and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs), Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), and enroute RNAV "Q" and RNAV 'T' routes should be loaded into the flight plan from the database in their entirety, rather than loading route waypoints from the database into the flight plan individually. Selecting and inserting individual named fixes from the database is permitted, provided all fixes along the published route to be flown are inserted. Manual entry of waypoints using latitude/longitude or place/ bearing is prohibited. Navigation information is referenced to WGS-84 reference system, and should only be used where the Aeronautical Information Publication (including electronic data and aeronautical charts) conform to WGS-84 or equivalent.

When using advisory vertical guidance, the pilot must use the primary barometric altimeter to ensure compliance with all altitude resttictions, particularly during instrument approach operations. When GPS WAAS SBAS corrections are unavailable or if operating outside of GPS W AAS SBAS coverage, instrument approaches utilizing the GPS receiver will be conducted in the approach mode and Fault Detection and Exclusion mode. Loss of Integtity annunciations must not be displayed at the Final Approach Fix. Vertical guidance from GPS will not be available if GPS WAAS SBAS corrections are unavailable or if operating outside of GPS W AAS SBAS coverage. GPS WAAS SBAS corrections should be selected OFF when operating outside of GPS WAAS SBAS system coverage. IFR non-precision approach with vertical guidance approval using the GPS/SBAS sensor is limited to published approaches within the U.S. National Airspace System. Approaches to airports in other airspace are not approved unless authorized by the appropriate governing authority. (2) GPS Approaches See Section I, paragraph 1.18. for approved GPS operations/ approaches. (3) Non GPS Approaches The navigation equipment required to perform instrument approach procedures is indicated by the title of the procedure and notes on the lAP chart. Use of the Garmin GPS/SBAS receivers to provide navigation guidance during the final approach segment of an ILS, LOC, LOG-BC, LOA, SDF, MLS or any other type of approach not approved for "or GPS" navigation is prohibited. When using the Garmin VORl LOC/GS receivers to fly the final approach segment, VORILOC/GS navigation data must be selected and presented on the CD! of the pilot flying.

All of required (FAA regulations) emergency procedures and those necessary for the operation of the airplane as determined by the operating and design features of the airplane are presented. Emergency procedures associated with those optional systems and equipment which require handbook supplements are provided in Section 9 (Supplements). Checklists within this section may be divided into two basic parts. The first part, shown in the outlined boxes, contains the emergency procedures checklists. The second part of the section, shown immediately below the outlined boxes, provides amplified emergency procedures. These amplified emergency procedures, if required, contain additional information to provide the pilot with a more complete description of the procedures so they may be more thoroughly understood. Pilots must familiarize themselves with the procedures given in this section and must be prepared to take the appropriate action should an emergency situation arise. The procedures are offered as a course of action for coping with the particular situation or condition described. They are not a substitute for sound judgement and common sense. Most basic emergency procedures are a normal part of pilot training. The information presented in this section is not intended to replace this training. Tills information is intended to provide a source of reference for the procedures which are applicable to this airplane. The pilot should review standard emergency procedures periodically to remain proficient in them. ISSUED: April16, 2013 REPORT: VB-2266 3-1 Commercial SECTION3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PA-28-181, ARCHER ill 3.1 GENERAL (Continued) Crew Alerting System (CAS) Messages The Crew Alerting System (CAS) consists of Master Warning and Master Caution indicators operating in conjunction with CAS text messages. The Master Warning and Caution indicators (labeled MASTER WARN RESET and MASTER CAUTION RESET) are illuminated push-button switches, centered above the PFD. They are used to annunciate, and to acknowledge warning and caution alerts. CAS text messages appear on the right side of the PFD during normal and reversionary mode operations. The severity of CAS messages are categorized as Warning, Caution and Advisory as follows: Red W aruing Messages Warning messages consist of a flashing red Master Warning indicator, located above the PFD, and a flashing (inversely red on white) CAS Warning text message located on the right side of the PFD. All Warnings are accompanied by a repeating triple chime, which can be silenced by pressing (acknowledging) the MASTER WARN RESET switch. When acknowledged, the MASTER WARN RESET switch will extinguish, the CAS Warning text messages, if applicable, will stop flashing and will revert to normal (red on black) messages, and the aural chime will silence. CAS Warning text messages will persist until the initiating condition is removed. If the warning was initiated by a parameter whose indication appears in the Engine Indicating System (EIS) window of the MFD, a CAS Warning text message will not be present and that parameter's indication will flash until the condition is removed. The flashing Master Warning indicator and continuous aural chime will accompany these warnings.

The degree of urgency vaties with the emergency; therefore the terms "land as soon as possible" and "land as soon as practical" are employed. These terms are defined as follows: Land as soon as possible - A landing should he accomplished at the nearest suitable airfield considering the severity of the emergency, weather conditions, field facilities, and ambient lighting. Land as soon as practical - Emergency conditions are less urgent, and although the mission is to be tenninated, the emergency is such that an immediate landing at the nearest suitable airfield may not be necessary.

If power is not restored prepare for power-off landing. Complete engine power loss is usually caused by fuel flow interruption and power will be restored shortly after fuel flow is restored. If time permits, turn the Left and Right magneto switches OFF then ON one at a time. Move the throttle and mixture control levers to different settings. This may restore power if the problem is too rich or too lean a mixture or if there is a partial fuel system restriction. Try other fuel tank. Water in the fuel could take some time to be consumed, so allowing the engine to windmill may restore power. If engine failure was caused by fuel exhaustion, power will not be restored after switching fuel tanks until the empty fuel lines are filled. This may require up to ten seconds.

If possible, notify the FAA by radio of your difficulty and intentions. If another pilot or passenger is aboard, let them help. When you have located a suitable field, establish a spiral pattern around this field. Try to be at 1000 feet above the field at the downwind position, to make a normal landing approach. When the field can easily be reached, slow to 66 KIAS with flaps down for the shOrtest landing. Excess altitude may be lost by widening your pattern, using flaps or slipping, or a combination of these. Touchdown should normally be made at the lowest possible airspeed.

High Oil Pressure: THR01TLE .................................................... MINIMUM REQUIRED Land as soon as practical. Loss of oil pressure may be either partial or complete. A partial loss of oil pressure usually indicates a malfunction in the oil pressure regulating system, and a landing should be made as soon as possible to investigate then cause and prevent engine damage. A complete loss of oil pressure indication may signify oil exhaustion or may be the result of a faulty indication. In either case, proceed toward the nearest airport, and be prepared for a forced landing. If the problem is not an indication malfunction, the engine may stop suddenly. Maintain altitude until such time as a dead stick landing can be accomplished. Don't change power settings unnecessarily, as this may hasten complete power loss. Depending on the circumstances, it may be advisable to make an off airport landing while power is still available, particularly if other indications of actual oil pressure loss, such as sudden increases in temperatures, or oil smoke, are apparent, and an airport is not close. If engine stoppage occurs, proceed with Power Off Landing.

Turning the ALTR switch OFF, reseting the ALTR FIELD circuit breaker and then turning the ALTR back ON, will reset the overvoltage relay. If the trouble was caused by a momentary overvoltage condition (30.5 volts or higher) this procedure should return the ammeter to a normal reading. If alternator does not reset, the battery will become the primary source of electrical power. The only electrical bus that remains powered in this load shed configuration is the ESSENTIAL BUS. All electrical items on the remaining buses will be inoperative (See Figure 7-11), including the AVIONICS dimmer. Display backlighting, therefore, is produced by the photocell in each display. As battery power is depleted, there may be a point where the system voltage reduces to a level that is insufficient to support the required electrical load. In this occurrence, the emergency battery should activate automatically. If the emergency battery does not activate automatically, the BATT MASTR and ALTR switches should be turned OFF, thereby allowing the emergency battery to be the only remaining source of electrical power.
