WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use ofthe terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance feature is NOT intended tobe used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibilty of being aware of surroundings during fight. 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 terain data. WARNING: The displayed minimum safe attitudes (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 Compute 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 WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 thatthe information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at ther ov risk @ WARNING: Do not use basemap (1 r rnapopye; primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement othe ation data, shouldbe 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 responsibilty to se and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all ofthe traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information trom aircraft or ground stations traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: Do notrely on information froma lightning detection system display asthe sole basis forhazardous 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 leamed on the ground. Garmin 61000 Pilot's Guide for the Piper PA-46 Meridian 190-01843-00 Rev. AGARMI N. 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 lnk weather product. Duet time delays inerentin 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 forall conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unliely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the G1000. [tis thus the responsibilty of te plot to detect such an ‘occurrence by means of cross-checking wth all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit 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 ofall 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. i) WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects ofthe G1000 Pilot's Guide documentation and the G1000 Integrated Avionics System in the Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior toactual use. During flight operations carefully compare indications from the G1000 to all availabl pi information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety pur epancies 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." 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 wwwgarmin.conv aboutGarminvenvironment/aisposal sp. ® WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications, North of 72° North latitude at all ongitudes; 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 a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter seting for height above mean sea level, or the standard pressure setting, as applicable. 190-01843-00 Rev.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.6 SYSTEM OPERATION The displays are connected together via multiple data busses, thus allowing for high-speed communication AAs shown in Figure 1-1, each GIA 63WW is connected to the on-side PFD. This section discusses the normal and reversionary modes of operation as well asthe various AHRS modes of the G1000 system. NORMAL OPERATION PFD In normal mode, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude and vertical speed), thereby replacing the traditional light instrument cluster. The PED also offers control for COM and NAV frequency selection MFD In normal mode, the right portion of the MED displays 2 full-color moving map with navigation information, ‘hile the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (EIS) Figure 1-10 gives an example of the G1000 displays in normal mode PFD D2 MPD Figure 1-10 Normal Operation 190-01843-00 Rev.A Garmin 61000 Pilot's Guide for the Piper PA-46 Meridian 15SYSTEM OVERVIEW GARMI N. REVERSIONARY MODE @ NOTE: The G1000 system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Appendices for further information regarding system-specfc alerts. Reversionary mode is a mode of operation in which all important flight information is presented identically on at least one of the remaining displays (see Figure 1-11). Transition to reversionary mode should be straightforward forthe pilot for flight parameters are presented in the same format as in normal mode. In the event of an MFD failure, the G1000 system automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display(s) inthe same format as in normal operating mode. + PFD1 failure ~ MFD and PFD2 remain in normal mode. + MED failure — Both PFDs automatically switch to reversionary mode + PFD2 failure — MFD and PFDI remain in normal mode. Figure 1-11. Reversionary Mode Reversionary mode can be activated manually by pressing a dedicated reversionary switch installed in the cockpit, Pressing this switch again deactivates reversionary mode. Each display can be configured to aperate in reversionary mode, as follows: + PEDI — By pressing the left reversionary switch + MED — By pressing the left or right reversionaty switch, + PFD2 - By pressing the right reversionary switch. Should the connection between a PED and the on-side GIA 63W become inoperative, the on-side GIA 63W can no longer communicate with the remaining PFD (refer to Figure 1-1). As a result, the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed PFD by the on-side GIA 63W are flagged as invalid (red "X") on the remaining PFD (see Figure 1-12). The system reverts to backup paths for the AHRS, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and Transponder, as requited. The change to backup paths is completely automated forall LRUs and no pilot action is required, Figure 1-12 Inoperatve Input (NAVI Shown) 16 Garmin 61000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-46 Meridian 190-01843-00 Rev. AGARMI N. SYSTEM OVERVIEW AHRS OPERATION @ NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for specific AHRS alert information. @ NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. In addition to using internal sensors, the GRS 7 AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in antitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the GRS 77 AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements (air data isnot used). If one or more of these three external inputs is unavailable or unreliable, the AHRS uses the remaining inputs for attitude/heading determination, Four AHS modes of operation are available (Figure 1-13) and depend upon the combination of available sensor inputs. Loss of air data, GPS, or magnetometer sensor inputs is communicated to the pilot by message advisory alerts The AHRS (GRS 77) corrects for shifis and variations in the Earth’s magnetic field by applying the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The Magnetic Field Variation Database is derived from the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). The IGRF is a mathematical model that describes the Earths main magnetic field and its annual rate of change. The database is updated approximately every 5 years. See the Appendices for information on updating the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The system will prompt you on startup when an update is available, Failure to update this database could lead to erroneous heading information being displayed to the pilot. ‘Mag Data Available and Reliable?

AHRS FAILURE Failure of the internal AHRS inertial sensors may result in loss of attitude and heading information (indicated by red 'X flags over the corresponding fight instruments) GPS INPUT FAILURE The system provides two sources of GPS information. Ifa single GPS receiver fails, or if the information provided from one of the GPS receivers is unreliable, the AHRS seamlessly transitions to using the other GPS receiver. An alert message informs the plat of the use of the backup GPS path. I both GPS inputs fil, the AHRS continues to operate in reversionary No-GPS mode so long as the air data and magnetometer inputs are available and reliable. Unavailable or unreliable air data or magnetometer data in addition to GPS failure results in loss of all attitude and heading information NOTE: In-fight initialization of AHRS, when operating without any valid source of GPS data and at true air speed values greater than approximately 200 knots, is not guaranteed. Under these rare conditions, it és possible for in-flight AHRS initialization to take an indefinite amount of time which would result in an extended period of time where valid AHRS outputs are unavailable. MAGNETOMETER FAILURE If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS transitions to one of the reversionary No-Magnetometer modes and continues to output valid attitude information. However, ifthe aircraft is airborne, the heading output con the PED does become invalid (as here Tis j O AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE Failure of the air data input has no effec on the AHRS output while AEIRS is receiving valid GPS information. A failure ofthe air data input while the AHRS is operating in reversionary No-GPS mode results in invalid antitude and heading information on the PFD (as indicated by red *X" flags) G1000 SYSTEM ANNUNCIATIONS NOTE: Fora detailed description ofall annunciations and alerts, refer to Appendix A. Refer to the POH for additonal information regarding pilot responses to these annunciations. When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red *X is typically displayed on windows associated with the failed data (Figure 1-14 displays all possible flags and responsible LRUs). Upon G1000 power-up, certain windows remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize. All windows should be operational within one minute of power-up. If any window temains flagged, the G1000 system should be serviced by a Garmin- authorized repair facility 18 Garmin 61000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-46 Meridian 190-01843-00 Rev. AGARMIN.

GPS RECEIVER OPERATION Each GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) contains a GPS receiver. Information collected by the specified receiver (GPSI for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the AUX - GPS Status Page GPS1 provides information to the pilot-side PFD and GPS2 provides data to the copilot-side PFD. Internal system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFDs. In some circumstances, both GPS receivers may be providing accurate data, but one receiver may be providing a better GPS solution than the other receiver. In this case the GPS receiver producing the better solution is automatically coupled to both PFDs. “BOTH ON GPS 1” or “ROTH ON GPS 2” is displayed in the Reversionary Sensor ‘Window (see Appendix A) indicating which GPS receiver is being used. Both GPS receivers are still functioning properly, but one receiver is performing better than the other at that particular time These 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 an SBAS signal. While the aireraft 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 the sensor annunciation persists, check for a system failure message in the Messages Window on the PFD. If no failure message exists, check the GPS Status Page and compare the information for GPSL and GPS2. Discrepancies may indicate a problem. ‘Viewing GPS receiver status information 41) Use the large Fs too ose 3p (se Section 1.7 for information on navigating MD oie 9 ans 2) Use the small FMS Knob to select GPS Status Page.

HFOM and VFOM, measures of horizontal and vertical position uncertainty, are the current 95% confidence horizontal and vertical accuracy values reported by the GPS receiver. “The current calculated GPS position, time, altitude, ground speed, and track for the aircraft are displayed below the satellite signal accuracy measurements. GPS receiver status ‘The GPS solution type (ACQUIRING, 2D NAV, 2D DIFF NAV, 3D NAV, 3D DIFF NAV) for the active GPS receiver (GPSI 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 satelite 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 isin the process of acquiring a 3D differential GPS solution, 3D NAV is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition, SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) indicates INACTIVE, When acquisition is complete, the solution status indicates 3D DIFF NAV and SBAS indicates ACTIVE.

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. 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 forthe final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the messages “Approach is not active” and “RAIM not available from FAF to MAP".
