Introduction  Who am I? -Peter Wheeler, GA Examiner since January 04 -Simuflight  CTC Aviation Training -A mixture of NZ instructor training & testing and JAA training & testing  Why am I here? -Operating DA42 since Nov 06 -An interest in seeing glass technology move to GA -Asked to brief you on G1000

The Garmin 1000 Introduction to the G1000 for Flight Examiners Normal, Abnormal, Emergency procedures

What we will cover: (questions at any time)  The system -Definitions & Abbreviations -Description & Operation of the system  Flight Tests & the G1000 -Abnormal Ops & Emergencies -Simulating failures  Review

Definitions & Abbreviations

Components of Garmin 1000 (see handout) Transponder Modes A, C, S Engine / Airframe unit Engine, Fuel sensors ADC OAT, Pitot & Static instr. Magnetometer AHRS Attitude & Heading Rate sensors, Slip/Skid Optional modules KAP140 autopilot ADF DME Stormscope GPS / Com / Nav 1 Similar to Garmin 430 GPS / Com / Nav 2 Similar to Garmin 430

The Primary Flight Display SAM Expanded pitch scale: Can set attitudes ±1° (really!) Slip bar: ¼ bar = ¼ ball imbalance Heavily damped – “lag” SAM

The Primary Flight Display SAM Air Data Computer: IAS and TAS Digits distracting? Digits moving ↑ means speed ↓ SAM Air Data Computer: ALT and VSI Digits distracting? Digits moving ↑ means altitude ↓ Scan bug not digits

The Primary Flight Display ADC and AHRS trend vectors: 6 seconds ASI, Alt, HSI (turn rate) SAM

The Primary Flight Display SAM Tuning Nav/Coms: Standby (outside), active (inside) Green means in-use VOR/LOC – visual (not aural) ident. Freq toggle, changing boxes, tuning…

The Primary Flight Display SAM Displaying navaids: HSI display: Nav 1, Nav 2, GPS CDI disappears if no signal RMI: VOR 1, 2, GPS, ADF

The Primary Flight Display SAM DME – conventional RMI – distance is GPS-based DME –Nav 1 Nav 2 Hold

The Primary Flight Display SAM Transponder Status Bar: Mode S Auto, Manual Codes, squawk etc

The Primary Flight Display SAM Softkeys: Context-sensitive: look before you leap! Sub-menus & the “Back” button “Alerts” button always on the far right to acknowledge alerts

The Primary Flight Display SAM GPS: Waypoint Status Bar Cannot disable – but can cover… Next waypoint, distance to go, desired (planned) track, instantaneous track (°M) SAM

The Primary Flight Display SAM Using the FMS knobs: tuning the ADF or DME Bring up the ADF window; Use the outer & inner knobs to select fields and change digits; IMPORTANT: Press ENTER, not the FMS knob itself, to accept the new value. Pressing the FMS knob simply cancels the change.

The Multi-Function Display SAM IBMH Nav/Com displays: as per PFD GPS: Navigation Status bar: Operator can change Instantaneous GS, Cross-track error, Distance and ETA for example.

The Multi-Function Display SAM IBMH Useful features: Change map appearance / defaults using MENU Use MAP softkey to overlay information Topography, Terrain Awareness, Stormscope etc GPS flight plan will always be overlaid

The Multi-Function Display SAM IBMH Changing map scale: Rotate RANGE knob Press the range knob to generate a map panning arrow Range knob acts as a joystick to pan cursor on map More information displayed at top of screen 300° 9.8NM – Elev 357FT – N45°W001°

The Multi-Function Display SAM IBMH Page Groups Map, Waypoint, Auxiliary, Nearest Pages within groups Navigate using boxes to keep track of where you are Navigate with FMS knobs Change groups and change pages within each group

The Audio Selector Panel  Similar functions to other Garmin audio panels -“COM1 MIC” – listen & talk -“COM1” – just listen  Audio identification of DME / ADF  Volumes -Coms, Navaids (not DME) have own volume -Intercom volume for pilot, one other for all pax

Failures affecting the G1000 GPS / Com / Nav 1 Similar to Garmin 430 GPS / Com / Nav 2 Similar to Garmin 430 Transponder Modes A, C, S Engine / Airframe unit Engine, Fuel sensors ADC OAT, Pitot & Static instr. Magnetometer AHRS Attitude & Heading Rate sensors, Slip/Skid Optional modules KAP140 autopilot ADF DME Stormscope NO DATA NAV2 VOR 1

Reversionary Modes GPS / Com / Nav 1 Similar to Garmin 430 GPS / Com / Nav 2 Similar to Garmin 430 ADC OAT, Pitot & Static instr. Magnetometer AHRS Attitude & Heading Rate sensors, Slip/Skid Optional modules KAP140 autopilot ADF DME Stormscope Note: even though GPS / Com / Nav 2 work, the data may not be accessible. You may also lose the use of ADF, DME etc! Limited navigation available – Nav 1, NRST

Manual Reversionary Mode GPS / Com / Nav 1 Similar to Garmin 430 GPS / Com / Nav 2 Similar to Garmin 430 ADC OAT, Pitot & Static instr. Magnetometer AHRS Attitude & Heading Rate sensors, Slip/Skid Optional modules KAP140 autopilot ADF DME Stormscope Reversion should be automatic. If it does not occur, it can be done manually. If this is simulated (i.e. no real failure), all navaids will remain useable.
