INTRODUCTION
G1000 Integrated Cockpit System

The G1000 is a completely integrated avionics system designed to t a broad range of aircraft models. It is an all-glass ight
deck that presents ight instrumentation, location, navigation, communication and identication data on large-format, high-resolution displays. The digital data presentation on the G1000 puts all ight-critical information literally at the pilots ngertips.
Purpose
This Pilots Training Guide is provided to help the pilot transition to Garmin G1000-equipped aircraft. Use this study guide in
combination with the G1000 Simulator and/or the G1000 Pilots Guide as well as the ight instructors guidance and feedback to
maximize G1000 training before taking delivery of a new G1000-equipped aircraft.
NOTE: Ground lessons should be completed before starting ight training.
NOTE: In this training guide, each lesson contains exercises as well as a list of resources that are recommended before
completing these exercises.
Flight and Ground Instruction

It is important to coordinate ground lessons with a properly trained ight instructor. Work with an instructor to make sure
that the system is fully understood. This training guide works best if an instructor is involved from the very beginning.
Work with an instructor to ensure that the ight lessons cover all appropriate material. Note that the instructor may determine
that additional training is required to review aircraft systems, procedures, airspace, or other knowledge areas. Practice under an
instructor until condently procient with the G1000 system.
Level of Knowledge Attained

The material contained in the Pilots Training Guide is designed to help pilots progress from basic to advanced levels of
knowledge. The basic skills of interpreting the Primary Flight Display (PFD), tuning the radios and operating the audio panel are
covered early on in the training material. Later sections cover navigation, terrain and other more complex material. The Pilots
Training Guide was designed in this manner so that pilot and instructor could begin basic training quickly.
NOTE: It is not necessary to complete the Navigation portion of the material before taking off on a local training ight.

PROCEDURES
Procedure 1
GPS APPROACH NO PROCEDURE TURN
An approach where there is typically no procedure turn required to get established on the inbound course to the FAF is
the rst example. We use GPS RWY 12 at KPRC to show how the G1000 sequences through an approach and what type of
annunciation and range factor changes can be expected. This example is based upon and active ight plan from KFLG (Flagstaff,
AZ Pulliam Airport) to KPRC (Prescott, AZ Love Airport). See gure 1.
1.
Select KPRC as the destination, via the Direct-To key or as the last waypoint in a ight plan.
2.
Press the PROC key and select the GPS RWY 12 approach. From the transitions window, select IRODY as the IAF (select
LOAD? or ACTIVATE?).
3.
Within 30 nm of the destination, the G1000 switches from en route mode to terminal mode. The switch to terminal
mode is accompanied by a gradual CDI range transition from 5.0 to 1.0 nm full range deection.
4.
Several miles prior to reaching the IAF (IRODY), review the approach sequence, as necessary. Press the FPL key to
display the Active Flight Plan Page. Press the FMS knob and turn the large FMS knob to review each segment of the
approach. When nished press the FPL key again to return to the previous page.
5.
As the plane approaches the IAF (IRODY), the waypoint message NEXT DTK 204 is displayed in the navigation status
bar on the PFD. As the IAF approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory TURN TO 204.
6.
As the plane approaches the IAP (OKAPY), the waypoint message NEXT DTK 124 is displayed. As the waypoint
approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory TURN TO 124.
7.
At 2.0 nm from the FAF (MULHU), the G1000 switches from terminal mode to approach mode. CDI scaling is tightened
from 1.0 to 0.3 nm full range deection.
8.
As the plane crosses the FAF NEXT DTK 124 is displayed and the destination sequences to the MAP (RW12map, the
runway threshold). Keeping the needle centered, y toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the
approach plate.
9.
As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT is displayed.
10. As the plane crosses the MAP, SUSP is displayed in the HSI and directly above the SUSP softkey, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A FROM indication is displayed on the CDI, but
course guidance along the nal approach course continues. Do NOT follow this extended course. If a missed approach
is required, follow the missed approach procedures as published on the approach plate. Press the SUSP softkey to return
to automatic sequencing of waypoints.
NOTE: When the message RAIM is not available is displayed in the Alerts Window on the PFD a missed
approach must be executed.

NOTE: The nal approach course must be intercepted 2 nm outside of the FAF for the approach to be
active.

FLYING THE MISSED APPROACH
As the MAP is passed, if the runway is not in view, a missed approach must be performed. The G1000 continues to give guidance
along an extension of the nal course segment (FAF to MAP) until manual initiation of the missed approach procedure.
1. As the plane crosses the MAP, the waypoint message ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT is displayed in the navigation status
bar on the PFD. SUSP is displayed in the HSI and directly above the SUSP softkey, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended. A FROM indication is displayed on the CDI, but course guidance along the
nal approach course continues. Do NOT follow this extended course.
2. Initiate the missed approach sequence by following the missed approach procedures as published on the approach
plate, for proper climb and heading instructions.
3. If necessary, press the CDI softkey to switch external CDI output to GPS for guidance. Press the SUSP softkey to return
to automatic sequencing of waypoints. The G1000 will guide to the missed approach holding point.
4. A message is displayed in the navigation status bar on the PFD recommending entry procedures for the holding pattern
(HOLD PARALLEL, HOLD TEARDROP, or HOLD DIRECT).
5. The G1000 provides course guidance only on the inbound side of the holding pattern. When leaving the holding pattern to re-y the approach, press the PROC key to Select Approach? or Activate Approach? (or use the Direct-To key
to select another destination).

NOTE: When ying a non-GPS instrument approach, such as with ground-based navigational equipment

Procedure 3
FLYING THE PROCEDURE TURN
The procedure turn portion of the approach is stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this reason the G1000 requires
no special operations from the pilot (other than ying the procedure turn itself) beyond what is required for any other type of approach. This example is based upon a ight from KILG (Wilmington, DE New Castle County) to KMIV (Millville, NJ Municipal).
The approach into KMIV will be NDB or GPS RWY 14 with the RNB transition. See gure 2.
1. Select KMIV as the destination, via the Direct-To key or as the last waypoint in a ight plan.
2. Press the PROC key and select the NDB or GPS RWY 14 approach. From the transitions window select RNB as the IAF.
Choose LOAD? or ACTIVATE?
3. Once cleared for the approach, press the PROC key and select ACTIVATE APPROACH?
4. Within 30 nm of the destination, the G1000 switches from en route mode to terminal mode. The switch to terminal
mode is accompanied by a gradual range transition from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full range deection.
5. Several miles prior to reaching the IAF (RNB), review the approach sequence, as necessary. Press the FPL key to display
the Active Flight Plan Page. Press the FMS knob and turn the large FMS knob to review each segment of the approach.
When nished, press the FPL key again to return to the previous page.
6. As the plane approaches the IAF (RNB), the waypoint message (NEXT DTK 327) is displayed in the navigation status
bar on the PFD. As the waypoint approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory (TURN TO 327).
7. Fly the outbound course keeping the CDI needle centered.
8. After ying approximately one minute past the IAF, the message START PROC TURN is displayed.
9. Turn left to a heading of 282 to initiate the procedure turn. No guidance through the procedure turn is given. The
procedure turn is displayed in magenta indicating the active leg. The CDI needle starts moving to the right.
10. After approximately one minute, make a 180 right turn to a heading of 102 to intercept the inbound course. The
G1000 sequences to the inbound leg to the FAF, the CDI needle swings to the opposite side to provide proper sensing
along the nal course segment and NEXT DTK 147 is displayed in the navigation status bar on the PFD.
11. As the CDI needle starts to center, make a right turn to 147 to intercept the nal approach course.
12. At 2.0 nm from the FAF (RNB), the G1000 switches from terminal mode to approach mode. CDI scaling is tightened
from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full range deection.
13. As the plane crosses the FAF, the message NEXT DTK 147 is displayed and the destination sequences to the MAP
(RW14map, the runway threshold). Keeping the CDI needle centered, y toward the MAP, observing the altitude
minimums dictated by the approach plate.
14. As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT is displayed.

Procedure 7
FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO DISTANCE, OR COURSE FROM FIX TO DME DISTANCE
Certain approach, departure and arrival procedures in the Jeppesen database contain course from x ight plan legs. The
G1000 is able to load these legs into the ight plan along with the rest of the procedure data, and to provide navigation along
these legs. There are four different types of course from x legs:
Course from x to distance

Course from x to DME distance
Course from x to an altitude
Course from x to manual termination
Course from x to distance or DME distance legs appear in the ight plan like normal waypoints, but the destination name
always begins with a D, followed by a distance in tenths of nautical miles from the waypoint x. This example uses the VOR/
DME RWY 25 approach into Palmdale, California (KPMD), and includes a teardrop course reversal. See gure 5.
1.
Select KPMD as the destination, via the Direct-To key or as the last waypoint in a ight plan.
2.
Press the PROC key and select the VOR/DME 25 approach. From the transitions window, select PMD as the IAF.
3.
As the plane reaches the IAF (PMD), the waypoint message NEXT DTK 070 is displayed in the navigation status bar
on the PFD. As the waypoint approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory TURN TO 070. The plane is
now on the course from x to distance leg as shown on the active ight plan. The distance displayed in the ight plan
is D13.0. The ight plan automatically sequences to the next leg upon reaching D13.0.
4.
As the plane approaches D13.0, the waypoint message NEXT DTK 265 is displayed. Make a standard rate turn to
the right to intercept the nal approach course and watch for the CDI needle to center.
5.
As the plane approaches the intermediate x CF25, the waypoint message NEXT DTK 265 is displayed. Fly this
inbound course, keeping the CDI needle centered. CDI coupling automatically switches from GPS receiver to the Nav
receiver.

FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO ALTITUDE
Course from x to altitude legs shows the specic target altitude on the active ight plan. This example is based upon a ight
from KSMO (Santa Monica Municipal) to KPMD (Palmdale, CA) with VOR/DME RWY 25 approach selected, which includes
a course from x to altitude leg. In this instance, the leg corresponds to the initial phase of the missed approach, which reads
Climb to 5000 outbound via PMD VOR R-282. See gure 5.
1.
After crossing the MAP, press the SUSP softkey. The missed approach sequence is automatically offered, starting with
the course from x to altitude leg. The NEXT DTK 282 waypoint message is displayed in the navigation status bar
on the PFD. Follow the missed approach procedures, as published on the approach plate, for proper climb and heading
instructions.
2.
Note that within a few seconds of pressing the SUSP softkey to release suspend mode and start the missed approach
sequence, SUSP is re-displayed above the SUSP softkey as the G1000 returns to suspend mode. This is normal when
ying a course from a x to altitude leg and indicates that automatic leg sequencing is suspended.
3.
Fly the outbound course keeping the CDI needle centered. The Navigation Map Page depicts the ight path extending
indenitely from the PMD VOR. The distance increases and indicates the distance back to the PMD VOR.
4.
Upon reaching the desired altitude (5000), press SUSP to return to automatic leg sequencing. Conrm that SUSP
no longer is displayed directly above the SUSP softkey.
5.
The message NEXT DTK 133 is displayed, guiding to the inbound course. The actual desired track (DTK) depends
on the ground speed and distance from PMD VOR. Intercept and y the inbound course, keeping the CDI needle
centered.
6.
As the plane approaches PMD VOR (the missed approach holding point), a message in the navigation status bar recommends the holding pattern entry HOLD PARALLEL.
7.
Note that the G1000 again displays SUSP above the SUSP softkey. Automatic waypoint sequencing is suspended at
the missed approach holding point. The waypoint message (ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT) is displayed each time the plane
approaches the PMD VOR in the holding pattern.

FLYING THE ILS APPROACH
NOTE: When an ILS approach is loaded, the ILS frequency is automatically placed in the NAV Frequency
window. Refer to the NAV/COM Pilots Guide for details.

Precision approaches can be performed with the built in Nav (VOR/localizer/glideslope) receivers. Prior to reaching the FAF
the CDI should be set to NAV1 or NAV2. The G1000 automatically switches the external CDI output from GPS to NAV1 or NAV2
as the nal approach course is intercepted. When the ILS approach is activated, the G1000 automatically switches within 1.2
nautical miles left or right of the nal approach course. This switch will take place within 15.0 nautical miles prior the FAF.
NOTE: If an attempt is made to intercept the approach course beyond the FAF, the CDI must be manually
switched from GPS to LOC1 or LOC2 by pressing the CDI softkey.
The CDI selection can also be changed manually by pressing the CDI softkey. Once the switch from GPS to Nav has occurred,
either automatically or manually, it does not automatically switch again until the approach is reactivated or another approach
is selected. To prevent automatic ILS CDI selection, select the Manual ILS CDI Capture, in the AUX System Setup Page (the
factory default setting is Auto, which enables the automatic switch to Nav).
This example is based upon on an active ight plan from KSNA (Santa Ana, CA ) to KSAN (San Diego, CA Lindbergh Field)
with the ILS RWY 9 approach and GATTO as the IAF, which includes an outbound leg and a procedure turn. See gure 7.
1.
Select KSNA as the destination, via the Direct-To key or as the last waypoint in a ight plan.

APPENDIX
THE G1000 INTEGRATED AVIONICS SYSTEM AND CONSIDERATIONS OF ITS USE TO ENHANCE THE
AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING (ADM) PROCESS AND SINGLE-PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
(SRM).
The Garmin G1000 Integrated Avionics System has brought a number of improvements in cockpit technology to the General
Aviation (GA) aircraft. These improvements range from longer life and greater reliability of the primary instruments to a simplied pilot interface. With the addition of new technologies, the G1000 system is capable of providing the pilot with a wider variety
of information about the ight environment, thereby leading to greater situational awareness and reduced pilot workload. The
G1000 system allows the pilot to focus on aeronautical decision making (ADM) and single-pilot resource management (SRM).
The majority of GA ight operations are single-pilot operations. The single-pilot, IFR, cross-country ight is often regarded as
one of the most challenging ight operations. The need to communicate and navigate while relying solely on the aircraft instruments makes the single-pilot cockpit a busy and stressful environment. Since the inability to manage these demands effectively
can prove life threatening, understanding and using all of the tools available in the cockpit is key to overcoming the challenges
presented by single-pilot IFR ights.
The autopilot is a fundamental tool that is often overlooked in the current aviation training environment. As an SRM tool,
no other piece of avionics is as valuable in reducing pilot workload as the autopilot. Pilots should routinely practice using the
autopilot and gain a full understanding of their particular system. Using the autopilot allows the pilot to focus on other ight
management tasks such as route deviation planning and general aircraft system monitoring without reaching a point of sensory
overload.
In the case of system failures or emergencies, the autopilot relieves the pilot of the workload of manually ying the aircraft and
thus allows the problem to be addressed. It is important to note that many GA aircraft are equipped with a rate-based autopilot
that receives roll inputs from an electric turn-coordinator. In aircraft equipped with a vacuum-driven attitude indicator, failure of
the vacuum pump should prompt the pilot to immediately change to a partial panel scan and to engage the autopilot in at least a
roll and pitch mode. In aircraft equipped with a GPS coupled to the autopilot, the pilot should activate GPS direct-to navigation
to the nearest suitable airport, then place the autopilot in NAV mode to y straight to the airport. In either case, the autopilot
reduces pilot workload by helping to ensure that the wings remain level and that standard rate turns are used.
At initial release, the G1000 system will interface with the third party, rate-based autopilot installed in the aircraft. These autopilots are linked to a remote-mounted rate-based gyro that is independent of the G1000 system; therefore, the above-mentioned
methodology still applies if attitude information is lost. Indeed, using the autopilot in roll-control or navigation mode at the point
of attitude failure allows the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft while taking appropriate emergency actions. Again, the use
of the autopilot reduces pilot workload and should allow the pilot to better manage the emergency. Nonetheless, it is imperative
that the pilot double-check all autopilot inputs in order to avoid mode confusion and monitor them to ensure that the intended
operation is taking place.
While the autopilot is the single most valuable tool for SRM, it is also important that the pilot develop a consistent approach
to using the communication and navigation tools present in the G1000 system. The two COM and NAV receivers combined
with the ability to tune COM and NAV frequencies from the Jeppesen database give the pilot a streamlined process for frequency
selection and management.
A typical methodology for COM/NAV frequency management is to designate COM1 and NAV1 as the primary airborne and
en route frequencies. COM2 can then be reserved for both weather (ATIS, ASOS, AWOS) and ground frequencies. Meanwhile,
NAV2 is set as the backup to NAV1. If established as part of a standard operating procedure, these selections help to minimize
the confusion over which COM and/or NAV is selected and active. When a consistent approach to frequency management is not
used, the pilot is more likely to run into mode confusion concerning the use of the audio control panel; this can in turn lead to
missed radio calls and/or transmissions on the incorrect frequency.

APPENDIX
While managing frequencies for ground-based Navaids is important, proper use of the GPS ight plan function can also prove
benecial. Rather than performing continuous direct-to navigation with the GPS, taking the time on the ground to enter a full
ight plan allows the G1000 to enhance the navigation experience. First, the pilot will be able to visually inspect the route of
ight on the MFD map, once at altitude, so as to verify both terrain clearance (using the terrain awareness overlay) and active
airspaces (if active, MOAs and Restricted areas would call for a re-routing from ARTCC). Secondly, using the ight plan function
allows for seamless autopilot turn anticipation. Finally, taking a moment to program the ight plan on the ground makes it easier
to react quickly to in-ight routing changes. Pilots should program the ight plan on even short cross-country ights.
Likewise, the maps on both the Multi Function Display (MFD) and the Primary Flight Display (PFD) help the pilot to manage
the navigation functions of the system. By using the maps to verify GPS navigation inputs, the pilot is able to visually cross-check
data entry by looking at the course lines drawn on the map. This visual representation of the active navigation is the quickest
way to determine whether all of the correct waypoints were entered for the intended route of ight.
In this discussion so far, the focus has been on SRM. Now, attention will be turned to leveraging the various data inputs
from the on-board weather sensors, datalinks, trafc awareness and terrain awareness functions. Proper understanding of both
the operation of these various tools and their integration with the pilots aeronautical decision making (ADM) process can bring
signicant safety gains to the GA eet.
Weather datalink and airborne lightning detection equipment have brought unprecedented weather avoidance capabilities to
the GA aircraft. While these weather tools provide valuable information, they do have limitations that must be considered and
they should thus be used appropriately by the pilot in the ADM process.
The primary limitation with both datalink weather and airborne lightning detection equipment is that neither device is to
be used for storm penetration. Instead, these planning tools should be used to help the pilot make a timely and well-informed
decision on how to proceed with the ight. Indeed, datalink weather receivers can bring a wide variety of information into the
cockpit besides the well-known NEXRAD radar images.
While avoiding strong thunderstorms and other areas of heavy precipitation is desirable, the ability to also review textual
weather information for en route and destination allows the pilot to maintain better situational awareness for airport selection in
case of an emergency. The capability to review textual weather data from ground reporting stations while en route also allows
the pilot to evaluate all approach options based on ceilings at the destination airport and to decide whether a diversion should
instead be made to an alternate airport much earlier in the ight. This, coupled with the ability to review weather information
well outside of the transmission range of ATIS/AWOS/ASOS systems, enables the pilot to better prepare for arrival and reduces
last-minute workload.
Thunderstorms are typically used as the main selling point for datalink weather receivers due to their visual NEXRAD presentation, whereas ice the other main weather concern for ight is often not emphasized enough. However, it should be stressed
that the potential for icing is also provided textually and in some cases, graphically, via datalink weather. This becomes a very
powerful tool in the winter months. The ability to bring more information about the icing potential in either format type (textual
or graphical) is a signicant improvement to the overall safety of ight.1
Overlaying both the NEXRAD and lightning images on either the G1000 MFD or PFD map inset serves to corroborate information on the location of the strongest storms. When lightning detection equipment is installed in the aircraft, the unique strikeaging capability of the G1000 provides additional visual cues as to the current state/stage of the storm. Indeed, continuously
growing strike rate counts as well as an increase in the number of lightning bolts (bold or normal) often denotes a developing
severe thunderstorm. On the other hand, decreasing strike rates combined with a growing number of plus (+) symbols indicates a decrease in the strength of the storm and its possible dissipation.2
While this type of information is very powerful and convincing, it is important to use it to plan the ight path and not to try
to penetrate an area of weather. Indeed, the data should be used to plan a deviation well clear of the storm in order to ensure that
the remainder of the ight can be safely executed. One should always remember that discretion is often the better part of valor
and that no technology can depict actual meteorological conditions with 100% accuracy.

APPENDIX
Trafc Collision and Avoidance Systems (TCAS) represent another technological advance that has been made in the area of
trafc avoidance. Originally developed for large commercial aircraft, TCAS technology is now starting to trickle down features
and capabilities to the GA eet. For example, the GTX 33 Mode-S transponder can be used as an optional component in G1000equipped aircraft and brings Trafc Information Service (TIS) data directly to the cockpit.3
TIS data is provided and transmitted by the FAA over Mode-S terminal radar sites and is derived from the actual transponder
returns of aircraft as seen on the air trafc controllers scope. A key difference between TIS and a TCAS system is that TIS should
only be used as an additional tool to see and avoid trafc. Therefore, the pilot should not become reliant on TIS and try to avoid
trafc solely by reference to the trafc display in the cockpit. First, deviations should not be performed until the pilot has visually
acquired the threat trafc. Secondly, Mode-S radar coverage and TIS service are only available in areas equipped with Mode-S
terminal radar. Since TIS service may not always be available in the en route environment, the pilot should not entirely depend
on this tool to acquire trafc visually and should always scan for trafc.
The last tool to be discussed given its benet to the ADM process is the new generation of GA terrain awareness systems. Terrain awareness systems are split into two generic classes, that is, certied systems and non-certied systems. The certied systems
are the TAWS-A and TAWS-B devices. These systems provide a number of terrain avoidance features that are not available in the
non-certied terrain awareness systems. The G1000 includes a non-certied terrain awareness feature that can be displayed on
both the MFD map and the PFD map inset. TAWS-B will be available as an option for the G1000 system.
The colors used to depict dangerous terrain elevations based on aircraft altitude are red and yellow. Red indicates that the
aircraft is within 100 feet of or below the terrain level. Yellow indicates that the aircraft is within 1,000 feet of the terrain. These
two colors allow the pilot to look at the planned route and then decide which altitude seems optimal for the completion of the
ight. This color scheme also brings additional situational awareness during the critical approach phases of the ight in both
VFR and IFR conditions. With the interest in preventing Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents, even simple situational
awareness tools such as the G1000 terrain awareness feature can provide yet another helpful input to the ADM process.
In conclusion, as GA aircraft and pilots transition to 21st-century technology, the G1000 Integrated Avionics System brings
a number of safety enhancing benets. Although automation in the cockpit should be embraced, both its positive and negative
impacts on the safety of ight should be recognized and understood. Proper autopilot use is key to enhancing safety by reducing
pilot workload - this is particularly true in certain emergency situations. In addition, the ability to develop a methodical approach
to other cockpit tasks, even as simple as COM/NAV frequency selection and GPS management, can help the pilot to maintain
better situational awareness while minimizing the overall cockpit workload.
The ability to view weather, trafc and terrain information to improve the ADM process represents another signicant benet
brought to the cockpit by the G1000 Integrated Avionics System. Indeed, from satellite downlink weather with both NEXRAD
radar images and textual weather to real-time lightning detection data, the pilot now has access to a wealth of information directly
from the cockpit. Although the combination of weather, TIS and terrain awareness information can increase the safety of ight, it
is also critical that the pilot use this information properly and consistently. Too often, human beings rely on technology alone to
provide the solution to hazardous situations. However, in the dynamic, three-dimensional ight environment, it is the pilot who
represents the most signicant component of the avionics system. It is from the cockpit that the most important calculations are
made using the information and inputs provided by the avionics to ensure a safe ight. These calculations are enhanced both by
regular recurrent training and by the full understanding of the strengths and limitations of the various data inputs. Good ADM
and SRM practices are of critical importance to the long-term improvement of the GA safety record.
