Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide Appendices 190-00383-02 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 is loaded during startup of the MFD. 5. [. . . ] A APPENDIX C Why does the G1000 not automatically sequence to the next waypoint?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 navigated. The bisector is a perpendicular line between two flight plan legs which crosses through the waypoint common to both legs. How can a waypoint be skipped in an approach, a departure, or an arrival?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 smoothes adjacent leg transitions based upon a normal 15° bank angle (with the ability to roll up to 25°) and provides 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 the pilot is to begin the turn. 3) The To/From indicator on the HSI flips momentarily to indicate that the midpoint of the turn has been crossed. 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 on 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. 190-00383-02 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide Appendices C-3 APPENDIX C After a missed approach, how can the same approach be re-selected?After flying the missed approach procedure, the pilot may reactivate the same approach for another attempt from the Procedures Page. [. . . ] · By FAA Form 8000-7, Safety Improvement Report (Postage-paid card can be obtained at FAA FSSs, General Aviation District Offices, Flight Standards District Offices, and General Aviation Fixed Base Operators). 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 uplink on the next radar sweep. Because of this, the surveillance information is approximately five seconds old. [. . . ]
