Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for Cessna Nav III xi
WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function.
The G1000 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance
and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain
Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications
requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is
not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.
WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (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 Garmin G1000, as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integ-
rity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable
system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without
a fault indication shown by the G1000. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence
by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
WARNING: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
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 Computer,
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: The Jeppesen database used in the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure
that its information remains current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is
included in the G1000 package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.
WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for navigation, but rather only for non-navi-
gational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.
CAUTION: 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 of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVi-
gation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G1000
Pilot’s Guide documentation and the G1000 Flight Manual Supplement. Thoroughly practice basic operation
prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the G1000 to all available
navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety
purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by
an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and
the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is
very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE
ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass
lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.
CAUTION: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel
and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current G1000 system. Depictions of equip-
ment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
CAUTION: 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.”
CAUTION: There are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause
isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points in
the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after the screen has been
cleared. Avoid the clusters to avoid the thunderstorms. In the cell display mode, even a single discharge point
may represent thunderstorm activity and should therefore be avoided.
WARNING: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING: Use of the Stormscope interface for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm penetration)
is prohibited. Weather information on the G1000 MFD is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetra-
tion.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G1000 Multi Function Display is provided as an aid in visually
acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition
of conflicting traffic.
WARNING: Use of the GDL 69 Weather Interface for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm penetra-
tion) is prohibited. Weather information provided by the GDL 69 is approved only for weather avoidance, not
penetration.
CAUTION: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays
in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range
weather avoidance.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
This document is designed to provide an overview
of the G1000 Integrated Cockpit System as installed in
Cessna Nav III aircraft.
The G1000 system includes the following Line Re-
placeable Units (LRUs):
• GDU 1040 Primary Flight Display (PFD)
• GDU 1040 Multi Function Display (MFD)
• GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Units (2)
• GEA 71 Engine/Airframe Unit
• GDC 74A Air Data Computer (ADC)
• GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference System
(AHRS)
• GMU 44 Magnetometer
• GMA 1347 Audio System with integrated Marker
Beacon Receiver
• GTX 33 Mode-S Transponder
• GDL 69/69A Data Link
The LRUs are further described in the following sec-
tion. All LRUs have a modular design, which greatly eases
troubleshooting and maintenance of the G1000 system.
A top-level G1000 block diagram is given in Figure 1-1.
Additional or optional interfaces are depicted in Figure
1-2.
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is
to introduce the Cessna pilot to the major features
of the G1000 System. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive operating guide. Complete operating
procedures for all of the system features are found in the
documents listed below:
• G1000 Multi Function Display Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Multi Function Display Optional Interface
Addendum
• G1000 Primary Flight Display Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Engine Indication System Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Audio Panel Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 VHF NAV/COM Pilot’s Guide
• G1000 Mode S Transponder Pilot’s Guide
This guide gives the pilot a basic overview of the
Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi Function Display
(MFD), and the GMA 1347 Audio System.
NOTE: The pilot should read and thoroughly
understand the Cessna Aircraft Flight Manual for
limitations, procedures and performance infor-
mation not contained in this Cockpit Reference
Guide, The Cessna Aircraft Flight Manual always
takes precedence over the information found in
this guide.
NOTE: Throughout this document references
made to Cessna Nav III shall apply equally to
the 172, 182, T182, 206, and T206 except where
specifically noted.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this
Cockpit Reference Guide, including screen images
of the G1000 panel and displays, are subject to
change and may not reflect the most current
G1000 system software. Depictions of equipment
may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
