ICING (CIP & SLD)
Current	Icing	Product	 (CIP)	data	(Figure	 6-42)	shows	 a	graphical	 view	of	the	 current	 icing	environment.		
Icing	 severity	 is	displayed	 in	four	 categories:	 light,	moderate,	 severe,	and	extreme	 (not	specific	 to	aircraft	
type).	 	 The	CIP	product	 is	not	 a	forecast,	 but	a	presentation	 of	the	 current	 conditions	 at	the	 time	 of	the	
analysis.
Supercooled	 Large	Droplet	 (SLD)	icing	conditions	 are	characterized	 by	the	 presence	 of	relatively	 large,	
super	cooled	 water	droplets	 indicative	 of	freezing	 drizzle	and	freezing	 rain	aloft.		 SLD	threat	 areas	are	depicted	
as	magenta	dots	over	the	CIP	colors.
Displaying Icing data:
1) Select the Weather Data Link (XM) Page.
2) Select the MORE WX Softkey.
3) Select the ICNG Softkey.
4) Select the desired altitude level: 1,000 feet up to 30,000 feet.  Select the NEXT or PREV Softkey to cycle through 
the altitude softkeys.  The ICNG Softkey label changes to reflect the altitude selected.

TURBULENCE
Turbulence	data	(Figure	 6-44)	identifies	 the	potential	 for	erratic	 movement	 of	high-altitude	 air	mass	
associated	 winds.		Turbulence	 is	classified	 as	light,	 moderate,	 severe	or	extreme,	 at	altitudes	 between	21,000	
and	45,000	feet.		Turbulence	data	is	intended	to	supplement	AIRMETs	and	SIGMETs.
Displaying Turbulence  data:
1) Select the Weather Data Link (XM) Page.
2) Select the MORE WX Softkey.
3) Select the TURB Softkey.
4) Select the desired altitude level: 21,000 feet up to 45,000 feet.  Select the NEXT or PREV Softkey to cycle

PIREPS AND AIREPS
Pilot	Weather	 Reports	(PIREPs)	 (Figure	6-46)	provide	 timely	weather	 information	 for	a	particular	 route	of	
flight.		 When	significant	 weather	conditions	 are	reported	 or	forecast,	 Air	Traffic	 Control	 (ATC)	facilities	 are	
required	 to	solicit	 PIREPs.		 A	PIREP	 may	contain	 unforecast	 adverse	weather	 conditions,	 such	as	low	 in-flight	
visibility,	 icing	conditions,	 wind	shear,	 and	turbulence.		 PIREPs	are	issued	 as	either	 Routine	 (UA)	or	Urgent	
(UUA).
Another	 type	of	PIREP	 is	an	 Air	 Report	 (AIREP).	 	 AIREPs	are	used	 almost	 exclusively	 by	commerical	
airlines.

TFRS
The	 FAA	 issues	 Temporary	 Flight	Restrictions	 (TFRs)	to	designate	 areas	where	 flight	is	restricted.		 TFRs	are	
issued to restrict flight for a variety of reasons including national security, law enforcement, firefighting, natural 
disasters.,	 airshows,	and	large	 sporting	 events.		TFRs	may	be	issued	 at	any	 time,	 and	TFR	 data	displayed	 on	
the	G1000	 is	only	 intended	 to	supplement	 official	TFR	information	 obtained	from	Flight	 Service	 Stations	
(FSS),	and	air	traffic	control.
The	age	of	TFR	 data	is	not	 shown;	 however,	 if	TFR	 data	is	not	 available	 or	has	 expired,	 the	system	 displays	
'TFR	N/A'	in	the	upper-left	corner	of	maps	on	which	TFRs	can	be	displayed.

6.2 GFDS WORLDWIDE WEATHER
 NOTE:  Garmin Flight Data Services (GFDS) Worldwide Weather provides information for avoiding hazardous 
weather.  Do not use GFDS weather information to penetrate hazardous weather.
 NOTE:   Availability of specific GFDS weather products varies by region.  Refer to fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/
gfds-weather for GFDS product coverage information.
Garmin	 Flight	Data	Services	 (GFDS)	provides	 Worldwide	 Weather	reception	 capabilities	 to	the	 G1000	 through	
the	optional	 GSR	56	Iridium	 satellite	datalink.		 Graphical	 weather	information	 and	associated	 text	are	displayed	
on	the	Multi	Function	Display	(MFD)	and	the	Primary	Flight	Display	(PFD)	Inset	Map.
The	 system	 provides	 GFDS	weather	 data	after	 the	pilot	 initiates	 either	a	manual	 or	automatic	 GFDS	data	request	
on	the	Weather	Data	Link	(GFDS)	Page	on	the	MFD.
In	order	 to	receive	 GFDS	Worldwide	 Weather	data,	an	account	 must	first	be	established	 with	Garmin	 Flight	
Data	Services.		Refer	to	Section	8.10,	Satellite	Telephone	&	SMS	Messaging	Service,	for	more	information.
 REGISTERING THE SYSTEM FOR GARMIN FLIGHT DATA SERVICES
When	an	account	 is	established,	 Garmin	Flight	Data	services	 provides	 an	Access	 Code	which	 must	be	entered	
on the G1000 in order to complete the registration process.
Registering the system to receive GFDS Weather:
1) With the aircraft outside and having a clear view of the sky, turn the large FMS Knob on the MFD to select the 
MAP page group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the MAP-WEATHER DATA LINK (GFDS or XM) Page.  If ‘XM’ is displayed in 
the page title, it will be necessary to change the datalink source to GFDS before conti\
nuing.  Refer to ‘Viewing 
the Weather Data Link (GFDS) Page’ procedure to change the datalink source to GFDS prior to registr\
ation.
3) If the system displays the ‘Garmin Flight Data Service Registration’ window, proceed to step 7.  Otherwise, press 
the MENU Key.  The Page Menu window is now displayed as seen in Figure 6-54.
