Aircraft Systems G1000 By: Jordan Calpito
http://www.garmin.com The Garmin G1000 system is a fully solid-state, digital, integrated cockpit automation system.
The G1000 system is made up of separate but integrated control devices known as line replaceable units (LRUs). The system is driven by updateable software designed specifically for the aircraft type. • The pilot has three interfaces with the system: The PFD, the MFD, and the Audio Control Panel. • The LRU approach ensures standardization between aircraft and allows mechanics to make discrete repairs to complex systems, and the concept provides redundancy and system modularity, which allows easy updates and helps make maintenance easier and quicker.
PFD Information on PFD is provided by GRS 77 (AHRS) and GDC 74A (ADC)
Failure of GDC 74A • IAS and TAS • Altitude and VSI • OAT
Secure Digital (SD) cards are used to load and store various G1000 data. • Aviation Database files from Jeppesen • Updated every 30 days. • Terrain Database: • Garmin topography and terrain data. • Insert into bottom PFD and MFD card slots and leave them there.
MFD The MFD is primarily used for GPS and navigation
The MFD can also be used for flight planning, finding nearest airports, and many other functions.
