Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide Appendices 190-00383-01 Rev. A APPENDIX A SD CARD USE The G1000 system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for terrain database storage as well as aviation database updates. 4. After the update completes, the PFD starts in normal mode. Verify that the correct update cycle and version is loaded during startup of the MFD. 5. [. . . ] The G1000 only sequences flight plan waypoints when automatic sequencing is enabled (i. e. , no "OBS" or "SUSP" annunciation). For automatic sequencing to occur, the aircraft must also cross the "bisector" of the turn being are navigated. The bisector is a perpendicular line between two flight plan legs which crosses through the waypoint common to both legs. The G1000 allows the pilot to manually select any approach, departure, or arrival leg as the active leg of the flight plan. This procedure is performed on the MFD, from the Active Flight Plan Page by highlighting the desired waypoint and pressing the ACT LEG softkey, then the ENT key to approve the selection. The G1000 smooths adjacent leg transitions based upon a normal 15° bank angle (with the ability to roll up to 25°) and provide three pilot cues for turn anticipation: 1) A waypoint alert ("NEXT DTK ###°") flashes on the PFD 10 seconds before the turn point. 2) A flashing turn advisory ("TURN TO ###°") appears on the PFD when you are to begin the turn. 3) The To/From indicator on the HSI flips momentarily to indicate that you have crossed the midpoint of the turn. When 30 nm from the destination, the G1000 begins a smooth CDI scale transition from 5. 0 nm (en-route mode) to 1. 0 nm (terminal mode). When 2 nm from the FAF during an active approach, the CDI scale transitions to 0. 3 nm (approach mode). When executing a missed approach, the CDI can be returned to the 1. 0 nm scale by pressing the SUSP softkey. The CDI is also set to 1. 0 nm (terminal mode) within 30 nm of the departure airport. Unlike a VOR, the CDI scale used on GPS equipment is based on the cross-track distance to the desired course, not an angular relationship to the destination. Therefore, the CDI deflection on the GPS is constant regardless of the distance to the destination and does not become less sensitive when further away from the destination. To comply with TSO specifications, the G1000 does not automatically sequence past the MAP. The first waypoint in the missed approach procedure becomes the active waypoint when the SUSP softkey is pressed AFTER crossing the MAP. All published missed approach procedures must be followed, as indicated on the approach plate. To execute the missed approach procedure prior to the MAP (not recommended), select the Active Flight Plan Page and use the ACT LEG softkey to activate the missed approach portion of the procedure. 190-00383-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide Appendices C-3 APPENDIX C How do I re-select the same approach or activate a new approach after a missed approach?After flying the missed approach procedure, the pilot may reactivate the same approach for another attempt from the Procedures Page. Once the clearance is given for another attempt, activate the approach from the Procedures Page by highlighting "Activate Approach?", then pressing the ENT key. The G1000 provides navigation along the desired course to the waypoint and rejoins the approach in sequence from that point on.

NOTE: TIS is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S up-link on the next radar sweep. TIS ground station tracking software uses a prediction algorithm to compensate for this delay. [. . . ]
