System Start-up At system start, the engine and system instruments are displayed on the left side of the PFD in order to provide information necessary for the start-up sequence.
System Start-up Follow checklist carefully! Check standby battery per checklist. Master Switches ON PFD should come on and red Xs clear in about 15 seconds. AHRS should align after 45 seconds and Reversionary mode screen is displayed. Items powered by Avionics Bus 2 (such as NAV 2 and COM 2 will have red Xs until that bus is turned on.
System Start-up Annunciators should illuminate Low Volts will not illuminate if battery has more than adequate charge

PFD Color Coding Cyan Pilot adjustable items (e.g., freq. boxes) Green Active items (e.g, com/nav freqs & VHF.) Magenta GPS related Yellow Caution items (e.g., low vacuum) Red White Warning items (e.g., low oil pressure) Advisory or alert (e.g., airspace ahead)
Audio Unit Operation Powered on with Avionics Master Annunciators illuminate in self-test Returns to previous selections If GMA 1347 fails, built-in relay switches pilot s headset and MIC to Com 1 LED annunciators and backlighting controlled by G1000 CDU
Audio Unit Operation Transceivers Special Functions Marker Beacon Nav and Aux Radios Manual Squelch & Playback ICS Isolation Volume/Squelch Reversionary Mode
Audio Unit Operation Pilot may select ONE transmitter: Com1/MIC or Com2/MIC or Com3/MIC Corresponding receiver is automatically selected Additional receivers (right side) may be selected for monitoring Selection of MIC (left side) highlights selected frequency in GREEN on PFD and MFD
Audio Panel & PFD/MFD Keys Press double-arrow flipflop switch to move frequency from standby tuning box to active position. 133.100 Press appropriate key on audio panel to select COM1 or COM2. In this example: The COM1/MIC key on the left transmits. Press COM knob to move tuning box between COM1 and COM2 Active frequency displays in green; standby frequency displays in white and is bounded by the cyan tuning box. The COM 2 key on the right is selected for monitoring.
Audio Unit Operation - CAP CAP G1000 installations have two GMA 1347 audio panels. Only the TEL button is interconnected. May need manual squelch on right panel for good MIC opening. It is possible to transmit on two VHF radios simultaneously but critical communication may be blocked. Simultaneous transmission on VHF and FM is OK. Both panels may require manual squelch to break properly.
Audio Unit Operation - CAP disabled CAP FM Radio NOTE: CAP aircraft have two audio panels that are independent of each other. Becker Red button allows manual selection of Reversionary Mode; displays primary flight instruments and engine/airframe data on both displays CAP anomaly: red button on right audio panel does not work disabled Press no buttons to let everyone hear everything... Press PILOT or COPILOT to isolate one or the other Press both PILOT and COPILOT isolation buttons to isolate the crew
Other CAP Anomalies Seat Button selects who has the active PTT for second audio panel. Co-Pilot is Seat 2, Scanner behind Pilot is Seat 3. FM/UHF switch must be in FM - no UHF installed.

Fuel System Actual fuel flow is measured by a turbine type transducer mounted on the centerline of the engine between the fuel/air control unit and the fuel distribution unit Fuel flow is displayed in GPH on EIS GAL USED is provided as a totalizer function on the EIS System page After refueling, go to the system EIS page and select RST USED and input fuel quantity.
Fuel System Indicators show quantity of fuel up to limit of fuel sensor float travel (approx. 36 gallons) More fuel may be added to completely fill the tank, but no increase will be indicated on the EIS fuel indicator Visual check of each tank is required Bottom of filler neck is approx. 32 gallons Line of holes in side of filler neck is approximately 37 gallons
Fuel System With fuel indication of 8 gallons or less (for more than 60 seconds), a tone will sound and: PFD will show Low Fuel L or Low Fuel R in the alert section The MFD fuel indicator label will change from white to steady amber
Fuel System When fuel quantity reaches calibrated unusable fuel empty level, label changes to: flashing red It may get very quiet.
Vacuum System To check vacuum: Press Engine softkey Then press System softkey Only one vacuum instrument Attitude Indicator Back-up only Required for IFR (KOEL) Autopilot does not use this system
Limitations Advisory* Information Only: Navigation MAP Traffic MAP Terrain Awareness MAP Weather MAP *NOTE: Garmin documentation clearly states that the system provides this information for enhanced situational awareness. It does not substitute for pilot observation and pilot vigilance.
