4.6 AUDIO PANELS PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE
 NOTE:  If the pilot and/or copilot are using headsets that have a high/low swit\
ch or volume control knob, 
verify that the switch is in the high position and the volume control on\
 the headsets are at maximum volume 
setting.  On single-pilot flights, verify that all other headsets are not connected to avoid excess noise \
in the 
audio system.
 NOTE:  Adjusting the PILOT volume control affects ICS audio that is heard in the headset for the \
flight crew 
member that is performing the adjustment.  Keep in mind that the intercom volumes on the Audio Panels 
are independent of one another, but the radio volumes are not.
 NOTE:  When the MAN SQ Key is pressed, the ICS squelch can be set manually by the pilot and copilot.  If 
manual squelch is set to full open (SQ annunciated and the knobs turned\
 counterclockwise) background 
noise is heard in the ICS system as well as during COM transmissions.
After	 powering	 up	the	 G1000	 System,	 the	following	 steps	aid	in	maximizing	 the	use	 of	the	 Audio	 Panels	 as	well	
as prevent pilot and copilot induced issues.  These preflight procedures should be performed each time a pilot 
boards the aircraft to insure awareness of all audio levels in the Audio Panel and radios.

AUDIO PANEL AND CNS
Independent	radio	volume	 adjustments	 made	using	the	PFD	 controls	 affect	only	the	audio	 output	 for	each	
radio selected for adjustment.  Radio volume adjustment affects both crew positions equally for each radio that 
is adjusted.  Turning the master volume control located on either Audio Panel affects only the audio heard in the 
corresponding crew position headset.  Thus, radio volume adjustments may be overridden b\
y each crew position 
independently using the master volume control on the Audio Panel for the respective crew position.  The master 
volume control for each Audio Panel affects all other system audio output for the pilot or copilot headset.
Setting the Audio Panels during preflight:
1) Verify that the INTR COM Key is selected.
2) Verify manual squelch is set to minimum.
3) Turn the MSTR Knob (Master Volume Control) on both Audio Panels clockwise two full turns.  This sets the 
headset audio level to max volume (least amount of attenuation).
4) Adjust radio volume levels (COM, NAV, etc.) to a suitable level.
5) Adjust the ICS volume Knob on each Audio Panel to the desired intercom level.
6) Reset squelch to automatic, or adjust to the appropriate level manually.
Once this procedure has been completed, the master volume controls on both Audio Panels may now be 
adjusted.  The flight crew can change settings, keeping in mind the notes above.

4.7 ABNORMAL OPERATION
Abnormal	 operation	of	the	 G1000	 includes	 equipment	 failures	of	the	 G1000	 components	 and	failure	 of	
associated	equipment,	including	switches	and	external	devices.
STUCK MICROPHONE
If	the	 push-to-talk	 (PTT)	Key	becomes	 stuck,	the	COM	 transmitter	 stops	transmitting	 after	35	seconds	 of	
continuous	operation.		An	alert	appears	on	the	PFD	to	advise	the	crew	of	a	stuck microphone.
The COM1 MIC or COM2 MIC Key Annunciator on the Audio Panel flashes as long as the PTT Key remains 
stuck.
Figure 4-52  Stuck Microphone Alert
COM TUNING FAILURE
In	case	 of	a	COM	 system	 tuning	failure,	 the	emergency	 frequency	(121.500	MHz)	is	automatically	 tuned	in	
the	radio	 in	which	 the	tuning	 failure	occurred.	 	 Depending	 on	the	 failure	 mode,	a	red	 X	may	 appear	 on	the	
frequency display.

PFD FAILURE
If	PFD1	 fails,	COM1	 and	NAV1	 display	 a	red	 X	on	 both	 remaining	 displays.		NAV1	is	unavailable.		 COM1	
automatically	 tunes	121.500	 MHz,	but	the	frequency	 is	not	 shown.		 The	COM1	 emergency	 frequency	is	available	
to both the copilot and pilot.

If	 PFD2	 fails,	COM2	 and	NAV2	 display	 a	red	 X	on	 the	 remaining	 PFD	display.		 NAV2	is	unavailable.		 COM2	
tunes	121.500	 MHz,	but	the	frequency	 is	not	 shown.		 The	COM2	 emergency	 frequency	is	available	 to	both	 the	
copilot and pilot.

AUDIO PANEL FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
If	there	 is	a	failure	 of	both	 Audio	 Panels,	 a	fail-safe	 circuit	connects	 the	pilot’s	 headset	 and	microphone	 directly	
to	the	 COM1	 transceiver	 and	the	copilot’s	 headset	directly	to	the	 COM2	 transceiver.		 Audio	is	not	 available	 on	
the	speakers.		 If	there	 is	a	failure	 of	one	 Audio	 Panel,	that	side	 only	 has	access	 to	their	 respective	 on-side	fail-
safe COM.
If	there	 is	a	failure	 of	one	 Audio	 Panel,	the	remaining	 one	does	 not	have	 access	 to	the	 others	 side’s	COM	 and	
NAV.		 For	example,	 if	the	 pilot	 side	Audio	 Panel	fails,	the	copilot	 side	Audio	 Panel	has	access	 to	all	 the	 radios	
except	for	COM1	and	NAV1.
REVERSIONARY MODE
The red DISPLAY BACKUP Button selects the Reversionary Mode.  See the System Overview Section for 
more information on Reversionary Mode.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
SECTION 5  FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The G1000 is an integrated flight, engine, communication, navigation a\
nd surveillance system.  This section of 
the Pilot’s Guide explains GPS navigation using the G1000.  
The most prominent part of the G1000 are the three full color displays: two Primary Flight Displays (PFD) and 
a Multi Function Display (MFD). The information to successfully naviga\
te the aircraft using the GPS sensors is 
displayed on the PFD and the MFD. See examples in the Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2. Detailed descriptions of GPS 
navigation functions are discussed later in this section.
A brief description of the GPS navigation data on the PFD and MFD follow\
s.
Navigation mode indicates which sensor is providing the course data (e.g., GPS, VOR) and the flight plan phase 
(e.g., Departure (DPRT), Terminal (TERM), Enroute (ENR), Oceanic (OCN), Approach (LNAV, LNAV+V, L/VNAV, 
or LPV), or Missed Approach (MAPR)).
The Inset Map is a small version of the MFD Navigation Map and can be di\
splayed in the lower left corner of 
the PFD. When the system is in reversionary mode, the Inset Map is displayed in the lower right corner.  The 
Inset Map is displayed by pressing the INSET Softkey. Pressing the INSET Softkey again, then pressing the OFF 
Softkey removes the Inset Map.
The Navigation Map displays aviation data (e.g., airports, VORs, airways, airspaces), geographic data (e.g., 
cities, lakes, highways, borders), topographic data (map shading indicating elevation), and hazar\
d data (e.g., 
traffic, terrain, weather). The amount of displayed data can be reduced by selecting the DCLTR Softkey.  The 
Navigation Map can be oriented four different ways: North Up (NORTH UP), Track Up (TRK UP), Desired Track 
Up (DTK UP), or Heading Up (HDG UP).
An aircraft icon is placed on the Navigation Map at the location corresponding to the calculated present position. 
The aircraft position and the flight plan legs are accurately based on GPS calculations. The basemap upon which 
these are placed are from a source with less resolution, therefore the relative position of the aircraft to map features 
is not exact.  The leg of the active flight plan currently being flown is shown as a magenta line on the navigation 
map.  The other legs are shown in white.
There are 28 different map ranges available, from 500 feet to 2000 nm.  The current range is indicated in the 
lower right corner of the map and represents the top-to-bottom distance covered by the map.  To change the map 
range on any map, turn the Joystick counter-clockwise to zoom in ( -, decreasing), or clockwise to zoom out (+, 
increasing).
The Direct-to Window, the Flight Plan Window, the Procedures Window, and the Nearest Airports Window 
can be displayed in the lower right corner of the PFD.  Details of these windows are discussed in detail later in 
the section.

5.2 USING MAP DISPLAYS
Map displays are used extensively in the G1000 to provide situational awareness in flight.  Most G1000 maps 
can display the following information:
•	 Airports,	 NAVAIDs,	airspaces,	airways,	land	data	
(highways, cities, lakes, rivers, borders, etc.) with 
names
•	 Map	 Pointer	 information	 (distance	and	bearing	 to	
pointer, location of pointer, name, and other pertinent 
information)
•	 Map	range
•	Wind direction and speed
•	 Map	orientation
•	 Icons	for	enabled	map	features
•	 Aircraft	icon	(representing	present	position)
•	 Nav	range	ring
•	 Fuel	range	ring
•	 Flight	plan	legs
•	 User	waypoints
•	 Track	vector
•	 Topography	scale
•	 Topography	data
•Obstacle	data
MAP ORIENTATION
Maps are shown in one of four different orientation options, allowing flexibility in determining aircraft 
position relative to other items on the map (north up) or for determining where map items are relative to where 
the aircraft is going (track up, desired track up, or heading up). The map orientation is shown in the upper \
right corner of the map.
