A WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not operate this equipment without first obtaining qualified instruction. WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for verification of displayed aeronautical information. Displayed aeronautical data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information. WARNING: Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic control altitude requirements. The primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements, instructions, and clearances. WARNING: Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the sole means of navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered only an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be older than the indicated weather product age. WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of information for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot independently verify the accuracy of the information. WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be positioned in error as displayed. 190-02692-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga v WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/DH when flying an approach with vertical guidance. The autopilot will not level the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude preselect. WARNING: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications in the following geographic areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic field): North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes; South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes; North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia); South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New Zealand). WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or traffic. WARNING: Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means for determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining the proper approach path angle during landing. WARNING: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system manufacturer for detailed information about the system. WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter setting for height above mean sea level, or the standard pressure setting, as applicable. CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating. vi Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES CAUTION: Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft. CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interruption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system. CAUTION: When downloading updates to the Jeppesen Navigation Database, copy the data to an SD card other than a Garmin Supplemental Data Card. Otherwise, data corruption can occur. NOTE All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control. NOTE: 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 system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. NOTE: 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. NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank. NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65. NOTE: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal structures, or electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation indicates no comparison is possible. 190-02692-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga vii WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded within that procedure in the Navigation Database. Differences in system operation may be observed among similar types of procedures due to differences in the Navigation Database coding specific to each procedure. NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the following: It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System. Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen that have a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs). A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each applicable database and can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Declarations.’ Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established pertinent aircraft documents and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment. NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’ NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Alerts.’ NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support. NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to flygarmin.com and select ‘Aviation Data Error Report’. viii Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES NOTE: Electronic aeronautical charts displayed on this system have been shown to meet the guidance in AC 120-76D as a Type B Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for FliteCharts and ChartView. The accuracy of the charts is subject to the chart data provider. Own-ship position on airport surface charts cannot be guaranteed to meet the accuracy specified in AC 120-76D. Possible additional requirements may make a secondary source of aeronautical charts, such as traditional paper charts or an additional electronic display, necessary on the aircraft and available to the pilot. If the secondary source of aeronautical charts is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its use must be consistent with the guidance in AC 120-76D. NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization, training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure. NOTE: Terrain and obstacle alerting is not available north of 89º North latitude and south of 89º South latitude. This is due to limitations present within the Terrain database and the system’s ability to process the data representing the affected areas. NOTE: The nose of the ‘own ship’ symbol represents the location of the aircraft. The center of any traffic symbol represents the location of that traffic. The traffic and own ship symbols are an abstract representation and do not reflect the physical extent of the aircraft/traffic, and should not replace other methods for identifying traffic. NOTE: When using Stormscope, 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. NOTE: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the Garmin SVT display or may appear as a partial symbol. NOTE: Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury (HG) and must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/en-US/ company/environment/recycling NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition. NOTE: Operate G1000 system power through at least one cycle in a period of four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot. 190-02692-00 Rev.

A SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 APPLYING POWER TO THE SYSTEM FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NOTE: See the current pertinent flight manual for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. EIS The system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The PFD, MFD, and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs, and outputs to provide safe operation. During system initialization, test annunciations are displayed. All system annunciations should disappear typically within the first minute of applying power. During this time, key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the Audio Panel and the display bezels. On the PFD, the AHRS begins to initialize and displays ‘AHRS ALIGN: Keep Wings Level’. The AHRS should display valid attitude and heading fields typically within the first minute of applying power. The AHRS can align itself both while taxiing in a straight line and during level flight. When the MFD powers on, the initial screen displays the following information: • System version • Obstacle database name and expiration date • Copyright • Navigation database name and expiration date • Land database name and version • Terrain database name and version • SafeTaxi database name and expiration date • Airport Directory database name and expiration date AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE Current database information includes valid operating dates, cycle number, and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Pressing the ENT Key (or right-most softkey) acknowledges this information, and the MAP – NAVIGATION MAP Page is displayed upon pressing the key a second time. When the system has acquired a sufficient number of satellites to determine a position, the aircraft’s current position is shown on the MAP – NAVIGATION MAP Page.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 5 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM OPERATION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS NOTE: In normal operating mode, backlighting can only be adjusted from the PFD. In Reversionary Mode, it can be adjusted from the remaining display. The displays are connected to each other for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1, each IAU is connected to the on-side display. Normal and reversionary system display operation, as well as the various AHRS modes and system annunciations, are discussed here. EIS NORMAL DISPLAY OPERATION HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS In normal operating mode, the PFD presents graphical flight instrumentation (attitude, heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed), replacing the traditional flight instrument cluster (see the Flight Instruments Section for more information). The MFD normally displays a full-color moving map with navigation information (see the Flight Management Section), while the left portion of the MFD is dedicated to the Engine Indication System (EIS; see the EIS Section). Both displays offer control for COM and NAV frequency selection. Figure 1-5 Normal Operation AFCS REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION ADDITIONAL FEATURES NOTE: The system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Appendices for further information regarding system-specific alerts. INDEX APPENDICES In the event of a display failure, the system automatically switches to Reversionary (backup) Mode. In Reversionary Mode, all important flight information is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating mode. If a display fails, the appropriate interface between that display and the associated IAU is cut off. Thus, the IAU can no longer communicate with the remaining display (refer to Figure 1-1), and the NAV and COM functions provided to the failed display by the IAU are flagged as invalid on the remaining display. The system reverts to backup paths for the AHRS, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and Transponder, as required. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no pilot action is required. If the system fails to detect a display problem, Reversionary Mode may be manually activated by pressing the Audio Panel’s red DISPLAY BACKUP Button. Pressing this button again deactivates Reversionary Mode. 6 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Display system is not receiving valid transponder information. Other Various Red X Indications A red ‘X’ through any other display field (such as engine instrumentation fields) indicates the field is not receiving valid data. Table 1-1 System Failure Annunciations EIS AHRS OPERATION AUDIO PANEL & CNS WARNING: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications in the following geographic FLIGHT MANAGEMENT areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic field): North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes; South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes; North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia); South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New Zealand). NOTE: Aggressive maneuvering while AHRS is not operating normally may degrade AHRS accuracy. HAZARD AVOIDANCE In addition to using internal sensors, the AHRS uses GPS information, magnetic field data and air data to assist in attitude/heading calculations. In normal mode, the AHRS relies upon GPS and magnetic field measurements. If either of these external measurements is unavailable or invalid, the AHRS uses air data information for attitude determination. Four AHRS modes of operation are available (see following figure) and depend on the combination of available sensor inputs. Loss of air data, GPS, or magnetometer sensor inputs is communicated to the pilot via message advisory alerts. The AHRS corrects for shifts and variations in the Earth’s magnetic field by applying the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The Magnetic Field Variation Database is derived from the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). The IGRF is a mathematical model that describes the Earth’s main magnetic field and its annual rate of change. The database is updated approximately every 5 years. See the Appendices for information on updating the Magnetic Field Variation Database. The system will prompt you on startup when an update is available. Failure to update this database could lead to erroneous heading information being displayed to the pilot. AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev.

GPS INPUT FAILURE ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS NOTE: In-flight initialization of AHRS, when operating without any valid source of GPS data and at true air speed values greater than approximately 200 knots, is not guaranteed. Under these rare conditions, it is possible for in-flight AHRS initialization to take an indefinite amount of time, which would result in an extended period of time where valid AHRS outputs are unavailable. APPENDICES The system provides two sources of GPS information. If a single GPS receiver fails, or if the information provided from one of the GPS receivers is unreliable, the AHRS seamlessly transitions to using the other GPS receiver. An alert message informs the pilot of the use of the backup GPS path. If both GPS inputs fail, the AHRS continues to operate in Reversionary No-GPS Mode, so long as the air data and magnetometer inputs are available and reliable. Unavailable or unreliable air data or magnetometer data in addition to GPS failure results in loss of all attitude and heading information. MAGNETOMETER FAILURE INDEX If the magnetometer input fails, the AHRS transitions to one of the reversionary No-Magnetometer modes and continues to output valid attitude information. However, if the aircraft is airborne, the heading output on the PFD does become invalid (as indicated by a red ‘X’). 10 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW AIR DATA INPUT FAILURE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Failure of the air data input has no affect on the AHRS output while AHRS is receiving valid GPS information. A failure of the air data input while the AHRS is operating in Reversionary No-GPS Mode results in invalid attitude and heading information on the PFD (as indicated by red ‘X’s). GPS RECEIVER OPERATION EIS Each Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) contains a GPS receiver. Internal system checking is performed to ensure both GPS receivers are providing accurate data to the PFD. When both GPS receivers are providing accurate data, the GPS receiver producing the better solution is used by the system. Information collected by the specified receiver (GPS1 for the #1 IAU or GPS2 for the #2 IAU) may be viewed on the AUX – GPS STATUS Page. Viewing GPS receiver status information: AUDIO PANEL & CNS 1) Turn the large FMS Knob on the MFD to select the Auxiliary (AUX) Page Group (see this section for information on navigating MFD Page Groups). 2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the AUX – GPS STATUS Page (third page in the AUX Page Group). FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 3) To change the selected GPS receiver: Press the desired GPS Softkey. Or: a) Press the MENU Key. HAZARD AVOIDANCE b) Turn the FMS Knob to highlight the receiver which is not selected and press the ENT Key. AFCS GPS sensor annunciations are most often seen after system power-on when one GPS receiver has acquired satellites before the other or one of the GPS receivers has not yet acquired an SBAS signal. While the aircraft is on the ground, the SBAS signal may be blocked by obstructions causing one GPS receiver to have difficulty acquiring a good signal. Also, while airborne, turning the aircraft may result in one of the GPS receivers temporarily losing the SBAS signal. If no failure message exists, check the AUX – GPS STATUS Page and compare the information for GPS1 and GPS2. Discrepancies may indicate a problem.

The sky view is always in a north-up orientation, with the outer circle representing the horizon, the inner circle representing 45° above the horizon, and the center point showing the position directly overhead. Each satellite is represented by an oval containing the Pseudorandom Noise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite identification number). Satellites whose signals are currently being used are represented by solid ovals. SATELLITE SIGNAL INFORMATION STATUS INDEX APPENDICES The accuracy of the aircraft’s GPS fix is calculated using Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU), Dilution of Precision (DOP), and horizontal and vertical figures of merit (HFOM and VFOM). EPU is the radius of a circle centered on an estimated horizontal position in which actual position has 95% probability of laying. EPU is a statistical error indication and not an actual error measurement. DOP measures satellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellites received and where they are relative to each other) on a range from 0.0 to 9.9, with lower numbers denoting better accuracy. HFOM and VFOM, measures of horizontal and vertical position uncertainty, are the current 95% confidence horizontal and vertical accuracy values reported by the GPS receiver. The current calculated GPS position, time, altitude, ground speed, and track for the aircraft are displayed below the satellite signal accuracy measurements. 12 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW GPS RECEIVER STATUS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The GPS solution type (ACQUIRING, 2D NAV, 2D DIFF NAV, 3D NAV, 3D DIFF NAV) for the active GPS receiver (GPS1 or GPS2) is shown on the upper right of the AUX – GPS STATUS Page. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. ACQUIRING is indicated as the solution until a sufficient number of satellites have been acquired for computing a solution. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D differential GPS solution, 3D NAV is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition. Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) indicates INACTIVE. When acquisition is complete, the solution status indicates 3D DIFF NAV and SBAS indicates ACTIVE. EIS RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING (RAIM) PREDICTION AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT In most cases, performing a RAIM prediction is not necessary. However, in some cases, the selected approach may be outside the SBAS coverage area and it may be necessary to perform a RAIM prediction for the intended approach. Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a GPS receiver function that performs a consistency check on all tracked satellites. RAIM ensures the available satellite geometry allows the receiver to calculate a position within a specified RAIM protection limit (2.0 nm for oceanic and enroute, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). During oceanic, enroute, and terminal phases of flight, RAIM is available nearly 100% of the time. The RAIM prediction function also indicates whether RAIM is available at a specified date and time. RAIM computations predict satellite coverage within ±15 min of the specified arrival date and time. Because of the tighter protection limit on approaches, there may be times when RAIM is not available. The system automatically monitors RAIM and warns with an alert message when it is not available. If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the messages ‘Approach is not active’ and ‘RAIM not available from FAF to MAP’. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the missed approach procedure must be flown. HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS NOTE: The system RAIM prediction capability does not meet all RAIM prediction requirements.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX The FMS Knob can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data (e.g., Flight ID, waypoint identifiers, barometric minimum descent altitude) into the system. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the system will try to predict the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, press the ENT Key to confirm the entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the characters of the identifier. 23 SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a waypoint identifier, turning the small FMS Knob accesses three different lists of waypoint identifiers for quick selection: flight plan (FPL), nearest (NRST), and recently-entered (RECENT). The system automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the selected waypoint. Using the FMS Knob to enter data: 1) If needed, push the FMS Knob to activate the cursor. 2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field. EIS 3) Begin entering data by turning the small FMS Knob to select a character for the first placeholder.

A FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS SYSTEM OVERVIEW ALTIMETER INTRODUCTION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Altimeter displays barometric altitude values on a moving tape rolling number gauge in feet or meters with the Indicated Altitude displayed in the black pointer, The barometric pressure setting is displayed in a box below the Altimeter, and the pilot can choose the unit of pressure (inches or hectopascals). The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. When the metric value is selected, it is displayed in a separate overlay box above the Selected Altitude. A magenta Altitude Trend Vector extends up or down the left of the altitude tape, with the end resting at the approximate altitude to be reached in six seconds at the current vertical speed. The trend vector is not shown if altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due to a system failure. Additionally, the Altitude Bug is displayed when nearing approach minimums. EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS SELECTED ALTITUDE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug symbol. A bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape. If the Selected Altitude exceeds the range shown on the tape, the bug appears at the upper or lower edge of the tape. The ALT Knob has a stop-altitude feature that is related to vertical navigation altitudes in the flight plan. While turning the ALT Knob, the Selected Altitude can stop at intermediate values corresponding to vertical navigation altitudes. Stop-altitudes include the approach minimum altitude and valid VNAV constraints that include manually entered and published constraints, excluding published approach step down altitudes. When temperature compensation is applied to a stop-altitude waypoint, the Selected Altitude will stop at the temperature corrected altitude. Refer to the Flight Management Section for a discussion on both VNAV Constraints and Temperature Compensation and see the AFCS Section for more information about the Selected Altitude. HAZARD AVOIDANCE Setting the Selected Altitude: AFCS Turn the ALT Knob to set the Selected Altitude (large knob for 1000-ft increments; small knob for 100-ft increments). When the unit overlay function is enabled, the Selected Altitude will stop at both the standard increments and the metric increments.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS SVT is intended as an aid to situational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or traffic. INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) is a visual enhancement to the system. SVT depicts a forwardlooking attitude display of the topography immediately in front of the aircraft. The Field of View is 30 degrees to the left and 35 degrees to the right. SVT information is shown on the Primary Flight Display (PFD), or on the Multifunction Display (MFD) in Reversionary Mode. The depicted imagery is derived from the aircraft attitude, heading, GPS three-dimensional position, and a nine arc-second database of terrain, obstacles, and other relevant features. The terrain data resolution of nine arc-seconds, meaning that the terrain elevation contours are stored in squares measuring nine arc-seconds on each side, is required for the operation of SVT. Loss of any of the required data, including temporary loss of the GPS signal, will cause SVT to be disabled until the required data is restored. The SVT terrain display shows land contours (colors are consistent with those of the topographical map display), large water features, towers, and other obstacles over 200’ AGL that are included in the obstacle database. Cultural features on the ground such as roads, highways, railroad tracks, cities, and state boundaries are not displayed even if those features are found on the MFD map. The terrain display also includes a north–south, east–west grid with lines oriented with true north and spaced at one arc-minute intervals to assist in orientation relative to the terrain. The terrain display is intended for situational awareness only. Terrain alerts are displayed in red and yellow shading on the PFD. They may not provide the accuracy or fidelity on which to base decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. Navigation must not be predicated solely upon the use of the terrain or obstacle data displayed by the SVT. The following SVT enhancements appear on the PFD: • Pathways • Airport Signs • Flight Path Marker • Runway Display • Horizon Heading Marks • Terrain Alerting • Traffic Display • Obstacle Alerting 68 Garmin G100 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

The box size represents 700 feet wide by 200 feet tall during enroute, oceanic, and terminal flight phases. During an approach, the box width is 700 feet or one half full scale deviation on the HSI, whichever is less. The height is 200 feet or one half full scale deviation on the VDI, whichever is less. The altitude at which the Pathways Boxes are displayed is determined by the higher of either the Selected Altitude or the VNV Altitude programmed for the active leg in the flight plan. The color of the rectangular boxes may be magenta, green, or white depending on the route of flight and navigation source selected. The active GPS or GPS overlay flight plan leg is represented by magenta boxes that correspond to the magenta CDI. A localizer course is represented by green boxes that correspond to a green CDI. An inactive leg of an active flight plan is represented by white boxes, corresponding to a white line drawn on the Inset Map or MFD Map indicating an inactive leg.

A Garmin G100 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX Pathways provide supplemental glidepath information on an active ILS, LPV, LNAV/VNAV, and some LNAV approaches. Pathways are intended as an aid to situational awareness and should not be used independent of the CDI, VDI, Glidepath Indicator, and Glideslope Indicator. They are removed from the display when the selected navigation information is not available. Pathways are not displayed beyond the active leg when leg sequencing is suspended and are not displayed on any portion of the flight plan leg that would lead to intercepting a leg in the wrong direction. 71 SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Departure and Enroute EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Prior to intercepting an active flight plan leg, Pathways are displayed as a series of boxes with pointers at each corner that point in the direction of the active waypoint. Pathways are not displayed for the first leg of the flight plan if that segment is a Heading-to-Altitude leg. The first segment displaying Pathways is the first active GPS leg or active leg with a GPS overlay. If this leg of the flight plan route is outside the SVT Field of View, Pathways will not be visible until the aircraft has turned toward this leg. While approaching the center of the active leg and prescribed altitude, the number of pathway boxes decreases to a minimum of four. Pathways are displayed along the flight plan route at the highest of either the Selected Altitude or the programmed altitude for the leg. Climb profiles cannot be displayed due to the variables associated with aircraft performance. Flight plan legs requiring a climb are indicated by Pathways displayed at a level above the aircraft at the altitude selected or programmed. AUDIO PANEL & CNS Descent and Approach INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT Pathways are shown descending only for a programmed descent. When the flight plan includes programmed descent segments, Pathways are displayed along the descent path provided that the Selected Altitude is lower than the programmed altitude. During a Vectors-to-Final (VTF) approach transition, Pathways are displayed along the final approach course inbound to the Missed Approach Point (MAP). Pathways are shown level at the Selected Altitude or at the next programmed crossing altitude, whichever is higher, up to the point along the final approach course where the altitude intercepts the extended vertical descent path, glidepath, or glideslope. From the vertical path descent, glidepath, or glideslope intercept point, the Pathways are shown inbound to the Missed Approach Point (MAP) along the published lateral and vertical descent path. During an ILS approach, the initial approach segment is displayed in magenta at the segment altitudes if GPS is selected as the navigation source on the CDI. When switching to localizer inbound with LOC selected as the navigation source on the CDI, Pathways are displayed in green along the localizer and glide slope. VOR, LOC BC, and ADF approach segments that are approved to be flown using GPS are displayed in magenta boxes. Segments that are flown using other than GPS or ILS, such as heading legs or VOR final approach courses, are not displayed. 72 Garmin G100 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

The FPM depicts the approximate projected path of the aircraft accounting for wind speed and direction relative to the three-dimensional terrain display. The FPM is always available when the Synthetic Terrain feature is in operation. The FPM represents the direction of the flight path as it relates to the terrain and obstacles on the display, while the airplane symbol represents the aircraft heading. The FPM works in conjunction with the Pathways feature to assist the pilot in maintaining desired altitudes and direction when navigating a flight plan. When on course and altitude, the FPM is aligned inside the Pathway Boxes as shown in the following figure. The FPM may also be used to identify a possible conflict with the aircraft flight path and distant terrain or obstacles. Displayed terrain or obstacles in the aircraft’s flight path extending above the FPM could indicate a potential conflict, even before an alert is issued. However, decisions regarding terrain and/or obstacle avoidance should not be made using only the FPM. 74 Garmin G100 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

The audio panel provides the traditional audio selector functions of microphone and receiver audio selection. The audio panel includes an intercom system (ICS) between the pilot, copilot, and passengers, a marker beacon receiver, and a COM clearance recorder. Ambient noise from the aircraft radios is reduced by a feature called Master Avionics Squelch (MASQ). When no audio is detected, MASQ processing further reduces the amount of background noise from the radios. The Mode S transponder is controlled with softkeys and the FMS Knob located on the Primary Flight Display (PFD). The Transponder Data Box is located to the left of the System Time Box. The data box displays the active four-digit code, mode, and reply status. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev.

A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 5 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS 5.1 INTRODUCTION EIS The system is an integrated flight, engine, communication, navigation and surveillance system. This section of the Pilot’s Guide explains flight management using the system. The most prominent parts of the system are the Primary Flight Displays (PFD) and a Multi Function Display (MFD). The information to successfully navigate the aircraft using the GPS sensors is displayed on the PFD and the MFD. 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, LP, LP+V, LPV), or Missed Approach (MAPR)). 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), RNAV Approach (LNAV, LNAV+V, L/VNAV, LP, LP+V, or LPV), or Missed Approach (MAPR)). The Inset Map is a small version of the MFD Navigation Map and can be displayed 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 hazard data (e.g., traffic, terrain, weather). The amount of displayed data can be reduced by pressing 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.

MAP RANGE HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 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. When the map range is decreased to a point that exceeds the capability of the system to accurately represent the map, a magnifying glass icon is shown to the left of the map range. To change the map range turn the Joystick counter-clockwise to decrease the range, or clockwise to increase the range. AFCS NOTE: Since the PFD Inset Map is much smaller than the MFD navigation maps, items are removed on the PFD Inset Map two range levels smaller than the range selected in the Map Setup pages (e.g., a setting of 100 nm removes the item at ranges above 100 nm on MFD navigation maps, while the PFD Inset Map removes the same item at 50 nm). APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES Range Overzoom Figure 5-8 Map Range AUTO ZOOM INDEX Auto zoom allows the system to change the map display range to the smallest range clearly showing the active waypoint. Auto zoom can be overridden by adjusting the range with the Joystick, and remains until the active waypoint changes, a terrain or traffic alert occurs, the aircraft takes off, or the manual override times out (timer set on MAP SETUP Window). 146 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS If a terrain caution or warning occurs, all navigation maps automatically adjust to the smallest map range clearly showing the potential impact areas. If a new traffic advisory alert occurs, any map page capable of displaying traffic advisory alerts automatically adjusts to the smallest map range clearly showing the traffic advisory. When terrain or traffic alerts clear, the map returns to the previous auto zoom range based on the active waypoint. The auto zoom function can be turned on or off independently for the PFD and MFD. Control of the ranges at which the auto zoom occurs is done by setting the minimum and maximum look forward times (set on the MAP SETUP Window for the Map Group). These settings determine the minimum and maximum distance to display based upon the aircraft’s ground speed. »» Waypoints that are long distances apart cause the map range to increase to a point where many details on the map are decluttered. If this is not acceptable, lower the maximum look ahead time to a value that limits the auto zoom to an acceptable range. »» Waypoints that are very short distances apart cause the map range to decrease to a point where situational awareness may not be what is desired. Increase the minimum look ahead time to a value that limits the auto zoom to a minimum range that provides acceptable situational awareness. »» Flight plans that have a combination of long and short legs cause the range to increase and decrease as waypoints sequence. To avoid this, auto zoom can be disabled or the maximum/minimum times can be adjusted. »» The TIME OUT value (set on the MAP SETUP Window for the Map Group) determines how long auto zoom is overridden by a manual adjustment of the range knob. At the expiration of this time, the auto zoom range is restored. Setting the TIME OUT value to zero causes the manual override to never time out. »» When the MAX LOOK FWD time is set to zero, the upper limit becomes the maximum range available (2000 nm). »» When the MIN LOOK FWD time is set to zero, the lower limit becomes 1.5 nm.

Communication and navigation frequencies can be tuned “automatically” from various Waypoint Information (WPT) pages, Nearest (NRST) pages, and the NEAREST AIRPORTS Window (on PFD). This auto-tuning feature simplifies frequency entry over manual tuning. Refer to the Audio Panel and CNS section for details on autotuning. Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name of the facility, or by entering the city name. See the System Overview Section for detailed instructions on entering data in the system. As a waypoint identifier, facility name, or location is entered, the system’s Spell’N’Find feature scrolls through the database, displaying those waypoints matching the characters which have been entered to that point. A direct-to navigation leg to the selected waypoint can be initiated by pressing the ¯ Key on any of the waypoint pages.

A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW 5.5 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Direct-to method of navigation, initiated by pressing the ¯ Key on either the MFD or PFD, is quicker to use than a flight plan when the desire is to navigate to a single point such as a nearby airport. Once a direct-to is activated, the system establishes a point-to-point course line from the present position to the selected direct-to destination. Course guidance is provided until the direct-to is replaced with a new direct-to or flight plan, or cancelled. A vertical navigation (VNV) direct-to creates a descent path (and provides guidance to stay on the path) from the current altitude to a selected altitude at the direct-to waypoint. Vertical navigation is based on barometric altitudes, not on GPS altitude, and is used for cruise and descent phases of flight. The DIRECT TO Window allows selection and activation of direct-to navigation. The DIRECT TO Window displays selected direct-to waypoint data on the PFD and the MFD.

The system allows flight planning information to be entered from either the MFD or PFD. The flight plan is displayed on maps using different line widths, colors, and types, based on the type of leg and the segment of the flight plan currently being flown (departure, enroute, arrival, approach, or missed approach).

Table 5-8 Flight Plan Leg Symbols 198 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Up to 99 flight plans with up to 100 waypoints each can be created and stored in memory. One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flight plan. The active flight plan is erased when the system is turned off and overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans with an approach, departure, or arrival, the system uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the system automatically updates the information if the procedure has not been modified. If an approach, departure, or arrival procedure is no longer available, the procedure is deleted from the affected stored flight plan(s), and an alert is displayed (see Miscellaneous Messages in Appendix A) advising that one or more stored flight plans need to be edited. Whenever an approach, departure, or arrival procedure is loaded into the active flight plan, a set of approach, departure, or arrival waypoints is inserted into the flight plan along with a header line describing the instrument procedure the pilot selected. The original enroute portion of the flight plan remains active (unless an instrument procedure is activated) when the procedure is loaded. When the database is updated, the airways need to be reloaded also. Each airway segment is reloaded from the database given the entry waypoint, the airway identifier and the exit waypoint. This reloads the sequence of waypoints between the entry and exit waypoints (the sequence may change when the database is updated). The update of an airway can fail during this process. If that happens, the airway waypoints are changed to regular (non-airway) flight plan waypoints, and an alert is displayed (see Miscellaneous Messages in Appendix A). The following could cause the airway update to fail: • Airway identifier, entry waypoint or exit waypoint not found in the new database. • Airway entry/exit waypoint is not an acceptable waypoint for the airway – either the waypoint is no longer on the airway, or there is a new directional restriction that prevents it being used. • Loading the new airway sequence would exceed the capacity of the flight plan. EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE SELECTION AND MODIFICATION METHODS AFCS There are three methods to create or modify a flight plan: -- FPL – ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page on the MFD (create/modify the active flight plan) -- FLIGHT PLAN Window on the PFD (create/modify the active flight plan) -- FPL – FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG Page on the MFD (create/modify a stored flight plan) To create or modify a flight plan, the cursor can be used to edit the required fields within the flight plan and the CURRENT VNV PROFILE Box within the FPL – ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page. The cursor will appear as a field consisting of a solid cyan or magenta rectangle. The cursor can be activated by pushing the FMS Knob.

A ADDITIONAL FEATURES Airways can be added to the active flight plan or any stored flight plan. Choose a flight plan (add the desired airway entry point if not already in the flight plan), select the waypoint after the desired airway entry point, select the airway, and it is added in front of the selected waypoint. An airway can only be loaded if there is a waypoint in the flight plan that is part of the desired airway and is not part of an arrival or approach procedure. The system also anticipates the desired airway and exit point based on loaded flight plan waypoints. Some airways have directional restrictions on all or part of the route. Airway “A2” in Europe has a directional restriction over the whole route that can be flown only in the direction MTD-ABB-BNE-DEVAL. Airway “UR975” in North Africa has more complicated directional restrictions within the list of airway waypoints AMANO, VAKOR, LIBRO, NELDA, DIRKA, GZO, KOSET, and SARKI: Starting from AMANO, the airway can be flown only to LIBRO. Starting from SARKI, the airway can be flown only to LIBRO. Between NELDA and GZO, the airway can be flown in either direction. 207 SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT MANAGEMENT FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS In the US, airways that are “one-way” for specified hours of operation are not uncommon. These airways are always bidirectional in the system database. The system only allows correct airway sequences to be inserted. If the pilot subsequently inverts the flight plan, the system inverts the airway waypoint sequence and removes the airway header.

Collapsing Airways ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE The system allows airways on the active flight plan to be collapsed or expanded from the Active Flight Plan Page/Window. When airways have been collapsed, it is indicated on the airway heading. When airways are collapsed, leg-to-leg computed values such as DIS or ETE shown for the exit waypoint reflect the total of all the legs on the airway that have been hidden in the collapsed display. The DTK value is inhibited because it is not usable in this context. The Active Flight Plan Page always keeps the following three waypoints visible: “From” waypoint, “To” waypoint, and “Next” waypoint. To prevent one or more of these waypoints from being hidden in a collapsed airway segment, the airway segment that contains either the “To” or the “Next” waypoint is automatically expanded. When an airway is loaded, airways are automatically expanded to facilitate flight plan review.

FLIGHT PLAN OPERATIONS EIS This section will discuss activating a flight plan leg, and conducting enroute operations such as creating an along track offset, parallel track, closest point from a reference point and user defined holding. For information on departures, arrivals, and approaches refer to the Procedures portion in the Flight Management Section. In-flight, the system automatically sequences through the active flight plan, with the exception of manually terminated legs (such as FM, HM, or VM) that can occur within procedures (refer to the Procedures Section later in the Flight Management Section). AUDIO PANEL & CNS ACTIVATING A FLIGHT PLAN LEG FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The flight plan leg which is currently being used for navigation guidance is referred to as the ‘active leg’. The system automatically sequences from one active leg to the next as defined by the active flight plan. Any leg in the active flight plan successive to the leg currently being flown may be selected to become the new active leg. NOTE: When manually activating an AF or RF leg in the flight plan while the aircraft is outside the sweep of the arc (outside the start and end radials), leg sequencing will be suspended. HAZARD AVOIDANCE Activating a flight plan leg: 1) Press the FPL Key. 2) Push the FMS Knob to activate the cursor (not required on the PFD) and turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the destination waypoint for the desired leg.

ALONG TRACK OFFSETS Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev. A APPENDICES A waypoint having an “along track offset” distance from an existing waypoint can be entered into a flight plan. Along track offset waypoints lie along the path of the existing flight plan, and can be used to make the system reach a specified altitude before or after reaching the specified flight plan waypoint. Offset distances can be entered from 1 to 999 nm in increments of 1 nm. Entering a negative offset distance results in an along track offset waypoint inserted before the selected waypoint, whereas entering a positive offset distance results in an along track offset waypoint inserted after the selected waypoint. Multiple offset waypoints are allowed. A waypoint must be adjacent to its parent waypoint in the flight plan, so the system limits the along-track distance to less than the length of the leg before or after the selected waypoint. If the selected waypoint is the active waypoint, the distance is limited to less than the distance to go to the active waypoint. Assigning an along track offset to a leg with indeterminate length is not permitted. An along track offset is not allowed at or after the final approach fix of an approach. 211 SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT MANAGEMENT FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS An along track offset distance cannot be modified once entered. If the along track offset distance must be changed, the existing along track offset waypoint must be deleted and a new one created with the new offset distance.

A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW PARALLEL TRACK FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Parallel Track (PTK) feature allows creation of a parallel course offset of 1 to 50 nm left or right of the current flight plan. When Parallel Track is activated, the course line drawn on the map pages shows the parallel course, and waypoint names have a lower case “p” placed after the identifier. Using direct-to, loading an approach, a holding pattern, or editing and activating the flight plan automatically cancels Parallel Track. Parallel Track is also cancelled if a course change occurs greater than 120° or the parallel tracks overlap as a result of the course change. NOTE: Vertical navigation is unavailable while the Parallel Track feature is active. EIS Activating parallel track: 1) Press the FPL Key.

Details about each stored flight plan can be viewed on the FPL – FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG Page and on the FPL – STORED FLIGHT PLAN Page. A stored flight plan may be viewed or edited. The system also allows copying a flight plan into a new flight plan memory slot, allowing editing, etc., without affecting the original flight plan. This can be used to duplicate an existing stored flight plan for use in creating a modified version of the original stored flight plan. Activating a stored flight plan erases the active flight plan and replaces it with the flight plan being activated. Inverting a stored flight plan reverses the waypoint order, erases the active flight plan, and replaces it with the flight plan being activated (the stored flight plan is not changed). Lastly, individual or all stored flight plans can be deleted from the system memory. 224 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

Altitude constraints are not retained in stored flight plans. EIS The system Vertical Navigation (VNV) feature provides vertical profile guidance during the enroute and terminal phases of flight. Guidance based on specified altitudes at waypoints in the active flight plan or to a direct-to waypoint is provided. It includes vertical path guidance to a descending path, which is provided as a linear deviation from the desired path. The desired path is defined by a line joining two waypoints with specified altitudes or as a vertical angle from a specified waypoint/altitude.

The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) and Required Vertical Speed Indication (RVSI) on the PFD are removed, and the V DEV, VS REQ, and TIME TO TOD items displayed in the CURRENT VNV PROFILE box are dashed. VNV remains disabled until manually enabled. Vertical guidance in reversionary mode can only be enabled for a direct-to waypoint. The system allows a vertical navigation direct-to to any waypoint in the active flight plan with an altitude constraint “designated” for vertical guidance. Pressing the VNV ¯ Softkey on the FPL – ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page allows the flight plan to be flown, while vertical guidance based on the altitude constraint at the VNV direct-to waypoint is provided. The altitude change begins immediately and is spread along the flight plan from current position to the vertical direct-to waypoint, not just along the leg for the direct-to waypoint. A direct-to with altitude constraint activated by pressing the ¯ Key also provides vertical guidance, but would bypass flight plan waypoints between the current position in the flight plan and the direct-to waypoint.

ALTITUDE CONSTRAINTS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS The system can use altitude constraints associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for vertical navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the specific instance, manually entered or retrieved from the published altitudes in the navigation database. The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes. If the procedure states “Expect to cross at,” then the altitude is not in the database. In this case the altitude may be entered manually. Large White Text HAZARD AVOIDANCE Large Cyan Text Small Cyan Text AFCS Small Cyan Subdued Text Small White Text with Altitude Restriction Bar ADDITIONAL FEATURES Altitude Constraint Examples APPENDICES Cross AT or ABOVE 5,000 ft Cross AT 2,300 ft Cross AT or BELOW 3,000 ft Figure 5-73 Waypoint Altitude Constraints INDEX Altitude constraints are displayed and entered in feet mean sea level (MSL) values to the nearest hundred. An altitude constraint in feet above ground level (AGL) format is supported for airports. When a database altitude restriction is displayed, the system allows entry of a different altitude when creating a waypoint, effectively overriding the database restriction (only before the FAF). When a database altitude restriction of type “AT or ABOVE” or “AT or BELOW” is activated, the system uses the “AT” portion of the restriction to define the vertical profile. 230 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS When a procedure is loaded, the system will auto-designate (automatically enter and enable) altitude constraints to be used for vertical guidance. An altitude constraint which has been auto-designated by the system will be displayed as cyan text. An altitude constraint may be manually designated for procedure waypoints and enroute waypoints by activating and moving the cursor to the desired altitude in the active flight plan, turning the small FMS Knob and pressing the ENT Key. An altitude constraint may be manually designated only if it is available for vertical guidance. Altitudes that are not available for vertical guidance are shown in white text and cannot be selected by the cursor. For all designated altitudes, the system will automatically calculate advisory altitudes prior to the designated altitude constraint. These advisory altitudes are not auto-designated and are displayed as white text. Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical guidance can be “un-designated”. Pressing the CLR Key with the altitude constraint highlighted in the active flight plan removes the altitude constraint designation. The altitude will not be used for vertical guidance and the text displayed will be shown in white. The system will recalculate advisory altitudes (white text) once any altitude constraint is designated, modified, or undesignated. An altitude constraint may be entered as a flight level (FL), height above mean sea level (MSL), or height above ground level (AGL). AGL format is only available for airport waypoints. An altitude constraint is invalid if: -- Meeting the constraint requires the aircraft to climb -- Meeting the constraint requires the maximum flight path angle or maximum vertical speed to be exceeded -- The altitude constraint results in a TOD behind the aircraft present position -- The constraint is within a leg type for which altitude constraints are not supported -- The altitude constraint is added to the FAF of an approach that provides vertical guidance (i.e., ILS or GPS SBAS approach) -- The altitude constraint is added to a waypoint past the FAF. Altitude constraints can be modified or removed after having been added to the flight plan. If an altitude constraint is removed and the navigation database contains an altitude restriction for the lateral waypoint, the system will display that altitude restriction in white text. The system also provides a way to reinstate a published altitude constraint that has been modified.

A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW 5.8 PROCEDURES FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The system can access the whole range of instrument procedures available. Departures (DPs), arrivals (STARs), and non-precision and precision approaches (APPRs) are stored within the database and can be loaded using the PROC Key. The selected procedure for the departure or arrival airport is added to the active flight plan. No waypoints are required to be in the active flight plan to load procedures; however, if the departure and arrival airport are already loaded, the procedure loading window defaults to the appropriate airport, saving some time selecting the correct airport on the Procedure Loading Page. Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either “load” or “activate” is given. “Loading” adds the approach to the end of the flight plan without immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued navigation via the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedure available on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation when needed. “Activating” also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately begins to provide guidance to the first waypoint in the approach. The system adds terminal procedures to the flight plan based on leg types coded within that procedure in the navigation database. If the procedure in the flight plan contains an identifier like ‘2000ft’, that indicates a leg that terminates when the specified altitude (2000 feet) has been exceeded. A heading leg in the flight plan displays ‘hdg’ preceding the DTK (e.g. ‘hdg 008°’). A flight plan leg requiring the pilot to manually initiate sequencing to the next leg displays ‘MANSEQ’ as the identifier.

APPROACHES HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The system can provide navigation guidance for GPS and NAVAID instrument approach procedures. This section will discuss loading, activating, and removing approaches designated for navigation. For information on changing the navigation source of the CDI, and for information on the display of vertical guidance on the PFD, see the Flight Instruments Section. See the Audio Panel & CNS Section for information on selecting and tuning a NAV receiver. INSTRUMENT APPROACH AFCS The system provides guidance for non-precision and precision approaches to airports with published instrument approach procedures. Only one approach can be loaded at a time in a flight plan. If an approach is loaded when another approach is already in the active flight plan, the new approach replaces the previous approach. The route is defined by selection of an approach and the transition waypoints. ADDITIONAL FEATURES NOTE: When flying Direct-to the Final Approach Fix (FAF), the system will suspend (SUSP) leg sequencing if the approach intercept angel exceeds 45 degrees. NOTE: When Vectors to Final is selected, the system will display an extended centerline, but guidance is not provided to the Final Approach Course. APPENDICES Approaches using GPS INDEX RNAV/GPS approach procedures require GPS and can be selected for use. When an approach procedure lists ‘gps’ after a NAVAID prefix, (such as ‘VORgps 17L’), this indicates the procedure is an Overlay Approach. The procedure may be flown either as a conventional, ground-based approach procedure or may be flown with the GPS. Refer to the current, pertinent flight manual and regulations for information on alternatively using GPS navigation for NAVAID exclusive approaches. 238 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

MISSED APPROACH INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The system is capable of providing guidance for the approach as well as the missed approach. Once the missed approach is activated, MAPR will be displayed on the HSI next to the CDI. If the missed approach is activated prior to the Missed Approach Point (MAP), waypoint sequencing will continue along the approach to the missed approach. If the missed approach is not activated prior to the MAP, the system will enter SUSP Mode once the aircraft crosses the MAP until the missed approach is activated or SUSP Mode is disabled. See the Flight Instruments, Course Deviation Indicator section for more information on SUSP Mode. In the missed approach procedure shown in the following figure, the altitude immediately following the MAP is not part of the published procedure. It is simply a Course to Altitude (CA) leg which guides the aircraft along the runway centerline until the required altitude required to safely make the first turn toward the MAHP is exceeded. In this case, if the aircraft altitude is below the specified altitude after crossing the MAP, a direct-to is established to provide a course on runway heading until the altitude is reached. After reaching the altitude, a direct-to is established to the next published waypoint. If the aircraft altitude is above the specified altitude after crossing the MAP, a direct-to is established to the published fix to begin the missed approach procedure. See the Using Map Displays, Map Symbols discussion previously given in this section for information on displaying the missed approach preview on the navigation map. 244 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS Course to Altitude Leg AUDIO PANEL & CNS Figure 5-81 Course to Altitude FLIGHT MANAGEMENT In some missed approach procedures this Course to Altitude leg may be part of the published procedure. For example, the procedure dictates a climb to 5,500 feet, then turn left and proceed to the Missed Approach Hold Point (MAHP). In this case, the altitude would be appear in the list of waypoints as “(5500)”. Again, if the aircraft altitude is lower than the prescribed altitude after crossing the MAP, a direct-to is established on a Course to Altitude leg when the missed approach procedure is activated. Prior to the MAP, the lateral navigation is provided to the MAP before executing the missed approach. Otherwise, the aircraft automatically sequences to the MAHP.

In flight plan mode (FPL) with a stored flight plan selected (01-99), and a specific leg (numbered sequentially in the flight plan) selected, the waypoints are the endpoints of the selected leg. In flight plan mode (FPL) with the active flight plan selected (00), and the remaining flight plan (REM) selected, the ‘from’ waypoint is the present position of the aircraft and the ‘to’ waypoint is the endpoint of the active flight plan. In flight plan mode (FPL) with the active flight plan selected (00), and a specific leg (numbered sequentially in the flight plan) selected, the ‘from’ waypoint is the current aircraft position and the ‘to’ waypoint is the endpoint of the selected leg. In waypoint (WPTs) mode these are manually selected waypoints (if there is an active flight plan, these default to the endpoints of the active leg). Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the active flight plan has already been flown. »» Desired Track – Desired Track is shown degrees and is the desired track between the selected waypoints.

APPENDICES INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 255 SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 5.11 ABNORMAL OPERATION FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS DEAD RECKONING NOTE: Dead Reckoning Mode only functions in Enroute (ENR) or Oceanic (OCN) phase of flight. In all other phases, an invalid GPS solution produces a “NO GPS POSITION” annunciation on the map and the system stops using GPS. INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the system detects an invalid GPS solution or is unable to calculate a GPS position, the system automatically reverts to Dead Reckoning (DR) Mode. In DR Mode, the system uses its last-known position combined with continuously updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to calculate and display the aircraft’s current estimated position. It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the system in DR Mode may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means of navigation. If while in DR Mode airspeed and/ or heading data is also lost or not available, the DR function may not be capable of accurately tracking estimated position and, consequently, the system may display a path that is different than the actual movement of the aircraft. Estimated position information displayed by the system through DR while there is no heading and/or airspeed data available should not be used for navigation. DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/SBAS Mode due to the lack of satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed and/or wind direction compound the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this degraded accuracy, other navigation equipment must be relied upon for position awareness until GPS-derived position data is restored. DR Mode is indicated on the system by the appearance of the letters ‘DR’ superimposed in amber over the ‘own aircraft’ symbol. In addition, ‘DR’ is prominently displayed in amber on the HSI slightly above and to the right of the aircraft symbol. The CDI deviation bar remains, but is removed from the display after 20 minutes in DR Mode. The autopilot will remain coupled in DR mode as long as the deviation info is available (20 min.) Lastly, but at the same time, a ‘GPS NAV LOST’ alert message appears on the PFD. Normal navigation using GPS/SBAS source data resumes automatically once a valid GPS solution is restored. As a result of operating in DR Mode, all GPS-derived data is computed based upon an estimated position and is displayed as amber text on the display to denote degraded navigation source information. Profile View is not available during DR Mode. Also, while the system is in DR Mode, the terrain alerting system is disabled. Additionally, the accuracy of all nearest information (airports, airspaces, and waypoints) is questionable. Finally, airspace alerts continue to function, but with degraded accuracy. 256 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.

INDEX Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga APPENDICES 190-02692-00 Rev. A ADDITIONAL FEATURES The National Weather Service (NWS) operates the WSR-88D, or NEXRAD (NEXt-generation RADar) system, an extensive network of 156 high-resolution Doppler radar systems. The NEXRAD network provides centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations. The maximum range of a single NEXRAD site is 250 nm. Individual NEXRAD sites supply the network with radar images, and the images from each radar site may arrive at the network at different rates and times. Periodically, the weather data provider compiles the available individual site images from the network to form a composite image, and assigns a single time to indicate when it created the image. This image becomes the NEXRAD weather product. Individual images--gathered from each NEXRAD site--differ in age, and are always older than the displayed NEXRAD weather product age. The data provider then sends the NEXRAD data to the SiriusXM Weather service, whose satellites transmit this information during the next designated refresh time for the NEXRAD weather product. Because of the time required to detect, assemble, and distribute the NEXRAD weather product, the displayed weather information contained within the product may be older than the current radar synopsis and may not depict the current weather conditions. The NEXRAD weather product should never be used as a basis for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather regardless of the information it contains. The system displays either base or composite NEXRAD imagery, depending on the model of data link receiver installed. 267 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS For radar sites in the United States, the NEXRAD wether product shows a composite reflectivity image. It represents the highest radar energy received from multiple antenna tilt angles at various altitudes. For radar sites based in Canada, the NEXRAD weather product shows radar returns from the lowest antenna tilt angle, known as base reflectivity. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the intensity of the echoes and the type or precipitation, if known. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT No Radar Coverage HAZARD AVOIDANCE Figure 6-4 NEXRAD Data on the MAP - WEATHER DATA LINK (XM) Page Displaying NEXRAD weather information: 1) Press the MAP Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, press the INSET Softkey).

No Radar Coverage INDEX Figure 6-5 NEXRAD Data with Legend 268 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW The display of no radar coverage is always active when either NEXRAD or Echo Tops is enabled. Areas where NEXRAD radar coverage and Echo Tops information are not currently available or are not being collected are indicated in gray shade of purple. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Reflectivity EIS Reflectivity is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. Colors on the NEXRAD display are directly correlative to the level of detected reflectivity. Reflectivity as it relates to hazardous weather can be very complex. The role of radar is essentially to detect moisture in the atmosphere. Simply put, certain types of weather reflect radar better than others. The intensity of a radar reflection is not necessarily an indication of the weather hazard level. For instance, wet hail returns a strong radar reflection, while dry hail does not. Both wet and dry hail can be extremely hazardous. The different NEXRAD echo intensities are measured in decibels (dB) relative to reflectivity (Z). NEXRAD measures the radar reflectivity ratio, or the energy reflected back to the radar receiver (designated by the letter Z). The value of Z increases as the returned signal strength increases. AUDIO PANEL & CNS NEXRAD Limitations FLIGHT MANAGEMENT NEXRAD radar images may have certain limitations: NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (wet hail vs. rain). For example, it is not possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain. NEXRAD base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual NEXRAD site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges. It has no information about storms directly over the site. When zoomed in to a range of 30 nm, each square block on the display represents an area of four square kilometers. The intensity level reflected by each square represents the highest level of NEXRAD data sampled within the area. Unknown precipitation occurring below 52ºN is displayed as rain, regardless of the actual precipitation type. HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev.

Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather EIS information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS The GTX 345R is a Universal Access Transceiver (UAT). It receives Flight Information Services - Broadcast (FIS-B) weather data from a network of UAT ground-based transceivers (GBTs). The system displays FIS-B graphical weather information and associated text on the Multi Function Display (MFD) and the Primary Flight Display (PFD) Inset Map. FIS-B weather data reception requires the aircraft be within range and line-of-sight of an operating GBT broadcasting FIS-B weather data. Reception may be affected by factors including altitude and terrain. Reception of FIS-B weather data occurs automatically without any pilot action. FIS-B broadcasts provide weather data in a repeating cycle which may take approximately ten minutes to transmit all available weather data. Therefore, not all available weather data may be available immediately upon initial FIS-B signal acquisition.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS The National Weather Service (NWS) operates the WSR-88D, or NEXRAD (NEXt-generation RADar) system, an extensive network of 156 high-resolution Doppler radar systems. The NEXRAD network provides centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations. The maximum range of a single NEXRAD site is 250 nm. Individual NEXRAD sites supply the network with radar images, and the images from each radar site may arrive at the network at different rates and times. Periodically, the weather data provider to FIS-B compiles the available individual site images from the network to form a composite image, and assigns a single time to indicate when it created the image. This image becomes the NEXRAD weather product. Individual images--gathered from each NEXRAD site--differ in age, and are always older than the displayed NEXRAD weather product age. The data provider then sends the NEXRAD data to the FIS-B GBTs, which transmit this information during the next designated broadcast time for the NEXRAD weather product. Because of the time required to detect, assemble, and distribute the NEXRAD weather product, the displayed weather information contained within the product may be significantly older than the current radar synopsis and may not depict the current weather conditions. NEXRAD information should never be used as a basis for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather regardless of the information it contains.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX NOTE: If the system has not received all available NEXRAD weather data (such as during initial FIS-B signal acquisition or in areas of marginal or poor signal reception), the system may display areas of no radar coverage which are subsequently removed as radar data is received. It may take up to approximately ten minutes to receive all FIS-B data, when adequate reception is available. 299 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE Reflectivity EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Reflectivity is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. Colors on the NEXRAD display are directly correlative to the level of detected reflectivity. Reflectivity as it relates to hazardous weather can be very complex. The role of radar is essentially to detect moisture in the atmosphere. Simply put, certain types of weather reflect radar better than others. The intensity of a radar reflection is not necessarily an indication of the weather hazard level. For instance, wet hail returns a strong radar reflection, while dry hail does not. Both wet and dry hail can be extremely hazardous. The different NEXRAD echo intensities are measured in decibels (dB) relative to reflectivity (Z). NEXRAD measures the radar reflectivity ratio, or the energy reflected back to the radar receiver (designated by the letter Z). The value of Z increases as the returned signal strength increases. AUDIO PANEL & CNS NEXRAD Limitations INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT NEXRAD radar images may have certain limitations: At a map range of 30 nm or less, individual blocks of NEXRAD weather data are viewable.

A HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW 6.4 TERRAIN PROXIMITY FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WARNING: Do not use Terrain Proximity information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain Proximity is intended only to enhance situational awareness. NOTE: Terrain data is not displayed if the aircraft is outside of the terrain database coverage area. NOTE: The optional Terrain-SVS or TAWS-B systems will take precedence over Terrain Proximity. EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS Terrain Proximity is a terrain awareness system that does not comply with TSO-C151b certification standards. It increases situational awareness and aids in reducing controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). Do not confuse Terrain Proximity with a Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS). TAWS is more sophisticated and robust, and it is TSO-C151b certified. Terrain Proximity does not provide warning annunciations or voice alerts. It only provides color indications on map displays when terrain and obstacles are within a certain altitude threshold from the aircraft. Although the terrain and obstacle color map displays are the same, TAWS uses more sophisticated algorithms to assess aircraft distance from terrain and obstacles. Terrain Proximity requires the following components to operate properly: • Valid 3-D GPS position • Valid terrain/obstacle database Terrain Proximity displays altitudes of terrain and obstructions relative to the aircraft position and altitude with reference to a database that may contain inaccuracies. Terrain and obstructions are shown only if they are in the database. Terrain and obstacle information should be used as an aid to situational awareness. They should never be used to navigate or maneuver around terrain. Note that all obstructions may not be available in the terrain and obstacle database. No terrain and obstacle information is shown without a valid 3-D GPS position. The GPS receiver provides the horizontal position and altitude. GPS altitude is derived from satellite position. GPS altitude is then converted to the height above geodetic sea level (GSL), which is the height above mean sea level calculated geometrically. GSL altitude is used to determine terrain and obstacle proximity. GSL altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors. GSL altitude does not require local altimeter settings to determine MSL altitude. It is a widely-used MSL altitude source. Terrain and obstacle databases are referenced to MSL. Using the GPS position and altitude, the Terrain Proximity feature portrays a 2-D picture of the surrounding terrain and obstacles relative to the position and altitude of the aircraft. GPS position and GSL altitude are used to calculate and predict the aircraft’s flight path in relation to the surrounding terrain and obstacles. In this way, the pilot can view predicted dangerous terrain and obstacle conditions. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev.

A HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW 6.6 TAWS-B FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness. NOTE: Terrain and obstacle information is not displayed if the aircraft is outside of the installed terrain database coverage area. EIS NOTE: The data contained in the TAWS databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. HAZARD AVOIDANCE AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES INDEX Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga FLIGHT MANAGEMENT 190-02692-00 Rev. A AUDIO PANEL & CNS TAWS-B (Terrain Awareness and Warning System - Class B) provides increased situational awareness and aids in reducing controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). TAWS-B provides visual annunciations and voice alerts when terrain and obstacles are within the given altitude threshold from the aircraft. The displayed alerts and warnings are advisory in nature only. TAWS-B satisfies TSO-C151b Class B requirements for certification. TAWS-B requires the following to operate properly: • A valid terrain/obstacle/airport terrain database • A valid 3-D GPS position solution TAWS-B uses terrain and obstacle information supplied by government sources. Terrain information is based on terrain elevation information in a database that may contain inaccuracies. Individual obstructions may be shown if available in the database. Garmin verifies the data to confirm accuracy of the content, per TSO-C151b. However, the displayed information should never be understood as being all-inclusive and data may be inaccurate. TAWS-B uses information provided from the GPS receiver to provide a horizontal position and altitude. GPS altitude is derived from satellite measurements. GPS altitude is then converted to the height above geodetic sea level (GSL), which is the height above mean sea level (MSL) calculated geometrically. The system uses GSL altitude to determine TAWS-B alerts. GSL altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors. GSL altitude does not require local altimeter settings to determine MSL altitude. It is a widely-used MSL altitude source. Therefore, GSL altitude provides a highly accurate and reliable MSL altitude source to calculate terrain and obstacle alerts. The terrain and obstacle databases used by TAWS-B are referenced to MSL. Using the GPS position and GSL altitude, TAWS-B displays a 2-D picture of the surrounding terrain and obstacles relative to the position and altitude of the aircraft. Furthermore, the system uses the GPS position and GSL altitude to calculate and “predict” the aircraft’s flight path in relation to the surrounding terrain and obstacles. In this manner, TAWS-B can provide advanced alerts of predicted dangerous terrain and obstacle conditions. Baro-corrected altitude (or indicated altitude) is derived by adjusting the altimeter setting for local atmospheric conditions. The most accurate baro-corrected altitude can be achieved by frequently updating the altimeter setting to the nearest reporting station along the flight path. However, because actual atmospheric conditions seldom match the standard conditions defined by the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) model (where pressure, temperature, and lapse rates have fixed values), it is common for the baro-corrected altitude (as read from the altimeter) to differ from the GSL altitude shown on the MAP - TAWS-B Page. 325 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE DISPLAYING TAWS-B DATA FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS TAWS-B uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain and obstacles (with heights greater than 200 feet above ground level, AGL) alerts relative to aircraft altitude. Colors are adjusted automatically as the aircraft altitude changes. The colors and symbols in the following figure and tables are used to represent terrain, obstacles, and potential impact points.

If the crew selects a map range larger than the selected map range setting, the data is removed from the map. For terrain data, the enable/disable function applies only to the MFD, while the range setting also affects the PFD Inset Map. Terrain data can be selected for display independently of obstacle data; however, obstacles for which warnings and cautions are issued are shown when terrain is selected for display and the map range is within the setting limit. Maps besides the MAP - TAWS-B Page use settings based on those selected for the MAP - NAVIGATION MAP Page. The maximum display ranges for obstacles on each map are dependent on the range setting made for the Navigation Map.

INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 341 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.8 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WARNING: The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the pilot locate traffic visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic. EIS WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic information within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from other aircraft, traffic may be present but not represented on the displays. AUDIO PANEL & CNS WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT NOTE: TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable terminal radar site. Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS), Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS), and to TIS. Aircraft without altitude reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent indication. NOTE: TIS is disabled if another traffic system is installed. HAZARD AVOIDANCE Traffic Information Service (TIS) assists the flight crew in detection and avoidance of other aircraft. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link. TIS receives traffic information from ground stations, and provides updates every five seconds. The system displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5-nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft. The system displays traffic with the following symbology: AFCS TIS Symbol Description Non-Threat Traffic ADDITIONAL FEATURES Traffic Advisory (TA) Traffic Advisory Off Scale Table 6-20 TIS Traffic Symbols INDEX APPENDICES A Traffic Advisory (TA) indicates the current track of the intruder could result in a collision. When traffic meets the advisory criteria for the TA, a solid yellow circle symbol appears. A TA which is detected, but is outside the range of the map, causes a banner message to appear in the lower left corner of the map and a half TA symbol to appear at the relative bearing of the intruder. TIS also provides a vector line showing the direction in which the traffic is moving, to the nearest 45°. Traffic information for which TIS is unable to determine the bearing (non-bearing traffic) is displayed in the center of the MAP - TRAFFIC MAP Page or in a banner at the lower left corner of maps other than the MAP - TRAFFIC MAP Page on which traffic can be displayed. 342 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The altitude difference between the requesting aircraft and other intruder aircraft is displayed above/below the traffic symbol in hundreds of feet. If the other aircraft is above the requesting aircraft, the altitude separation appears above the traffic symbol; if below, the altitude separation appears below. Altitude trend is displayed as an up/down arrow (for vertical speeds at least 500 feet per minute in either direction) to the right of the target symbol. Traffic symbols for aircraft without altitude reporting capability appear without altitude separation or climb/descent information.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 361 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.10 GARMIN ADS-B TRAFFIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. EIS WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic information within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from other aircraft, traffic may be present but not represented on the display. ADS-B SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS ADS-B is a core technology in the FAA NextGen air traffic control system. It includes air-to-air, air-to-ground, and ground-to-air transmission of aircraft position and velocity data to provide pilots and controllers with a more comprehensive view air traffic to improve flight safety and efficiency. ADS-B relies on the automatic broadcast of position reports by aircraft, surface vehicles, and transmitters on fixed objects. These broadcasts contain information such as GPS position, identity (Flight ID, Call Sign, Tail Number, ICAO registration number, etc), ground track, ground speed, pressure altitude, and emergency status. 1090 ES UAT RADAR Composite HAZARD AVOIDANCE GPS 1090 ES 18,000 FT AFCS 10,000 FT Mode A/C ADDITIONAL FEATURES RADAR ATC UAT UAT UAT 1090 ES ADS-B Ground Station Figure 6-88 ADS-B System APPENDICES For the purpose of distinguishing between levels of ADS-B service, there are three classifications of aircraft or system capability: ADS-B In, ADS-B Out, and ADS-B participating. ADS-B In refers to the capability to receive ADS-B information. ADS-B Out refers to the capability to transmit ADS-B information. ADS-B participating refers to the capability to both send and receive ADS-B information. Aircraft lacking either ADS-In, ADS-B Out, or both ADS-B capabilities may also be referred to as ADS-B nonparticipating aircraft. INDEX AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE-REBROADCAST (ADS-R) Because it is not required that ADS-B In capable aircraft be able to receive ADS-B data on both the 1090 MHz and 978 MHz data links, a method exists to get data from one data link to the other. ADS-R is the rebroadcast of ADS-B data by FAA ground stations, which provide this service by taking data from one link 362 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW and rebroadcasting it on the other link. For example, two aircraft are in the service volume for a ground station, and one is transmitting on 1090 MHz and the other on 978 MHz, the ground station retransmits the data from each aircraft on the other link to ensure the two aircraft can “see” each other. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE-BROADCAST (TIS-B) EIS TIS-B provides the bridge between the radar-based ATC system and the ADS-B-based system. When an ADS-B In or Out capable aircraft is within the service volume of an FAA ADS-B ground station, the ground station broadcasts a portion of the ATC radar data to the aircraft. This aircraft is then included in the list of aircraft being provided TIS-B service and is then considered a “TIS-B participant.” TIS-B coverage is available when the aircraft is within ground station coverage, in Secondary Surveillance Radar coverage, and the other aircraft is also in Secondary Surveillance Radar coverage, and is transmitting its altitude. The ground station provides ATC radar information for other aircraft within ±3,500 feet and 15 NM of the participant, to include altitude, position, ground speed, and ground track. TIS-B broadcasts occur once every three to thirteen seconds, depending on the characteristics of the ground station providing the TIS-B service. AUDIO PANEL & CNS ADS-B WITH TAS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT When an optional Skywatch SKY497 Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is also installed and operating with the optional ADS-B Traffic, the SKY497 TAS will receive traffic information and attempt to match (or “correlate”) this traffic with the corresponding ADS-B traffic information. When a correlation is made, only the traffic with the most accurate information is displayed to the flight crew. Any traffic that is not correlated (i.e., only detected by one system but not the other) will also displayed for the flight crew. This correlation of traffic by the ADS-B improves the accuracy of the traffic displayed, while reducing the occurrence of the same aircraft being displayed twice. HAZARD AVOIDANCE NOTE: When operating on the edges of ATC radar coverage or when using an optional active traffic system providing intermittent traffic data, a single aircraft may be briefly or periodically depicted as two aircraft on the display. AFCS Either the TAS or the ADS-B unit can issue a traffic alert. CONFLICT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS & ALERTING ADDITIONAL FEATURES Conflict Situational Awareness (CSA) is an alerting algorithm which provides ADS-B traffic alerting similar to the TAS systems discussed previously. The SKY497 with ADS-B issues a voice alert when a Traffic Advisory (TA) is displayed, for example “Traffic! Two O’clock, Low, Two Miles.” The own aircraft altitude above terrain determines the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm to minimize nuisance alerts. Radar Altitude (if available), Height Above Terrain, and Geodetic Sea Level (GSL) altitude are used to adjust the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm in accordance with the following table: APPENDICES INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev.

A HAZARD AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS When the system detects a new Traffic Advisory (TA), the following occur: -- The system issues a single “Traffic!” voice alert, followed by additional voice information about the bearing, relative altitude, and approximate distance from the intruder that triggered the TA. For example, the announcement “Traffic! 12 o’clock, high, four miles,” would indicate the traffic is in front of own aircraft, above own altitude, and approximately four nautical miles away. -- A ‘TRAFFIC’ annunciation appears at the top right of the airspeed on the PFD, flashes for five seconds, and remains displayed until no TAs are detected in the area. -- The PFD Inset Map is automatically displayed with TA traffic. -- If the bearing of TA traffic cannot be determined, an amber text banner will be displayed in the center of the Traffic Map Page and in the lower-left of the PFD inset map instead of a TA symbol. The text will indicate ‘TA’ followed by the distance, relative altitude, and vertical trend arrow for the TA traffic, if known. A TA will be displayed for at least eight seconds, even if the condition(s) that initially triggered the TA are no longer a factor.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 365 SYSTEM OVERVIEW HAZARD AVOIDANCE AIRBORNE AND SURFACE APPLICATIONS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The SKY497 can help the pilot visually acquire traffic both in the air and on-the-ground. There are two ADS-B applications or modes: Airborne Situational Awareness (AIRB) and Surface Situational Awareness (SURF). The system automatically selects the appropriate application based on conditions. The AIRB application is on when the aircraft is more than five NM and 1,500 feet above the nearest airport. When the AIRB application is active, the system only displays traffic which is airborne. The SURF application is on when the aircraft is within five NM and less than 1,500 feet above field elevation. When the SURF applications is on, the system displays airborne and on the ground traffic. At a MAP - TRAFFIC MAP Page range of two nm or less, the airport environment (including taxiways and runways) appears in addition to traffic. The airport displays are derived from the SafeTaxi database. Refer to the Additional Features section for more information about SafeTaxi displays. AUDIO PANEL & CNS NOTE: Do not rely on the solely on the traffic display to determine the runway alignment of traffic, especially when runways are in close proximity to each other. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT Due to the varying precision of the data received via ADS-B, ADS-R, and TIS-B, all traffic information may not be depicted on the traffic display. Because higher data precision is required for display in the SURF environment, some traffic eligible for AIRB will not be displayed while SURF is on. Individual eligibility for AIRB and SURF is depicted on the AUX-ADS-B STATUS Page, discussed later in this section.

The FliteCharts and optional ChartView provide on-board electronic terminal procedures charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be configured in the system, but not both. The AOPA and AC-U-KWIK Airport Directories offer detailed information for a selected airport, such as available services, hours of operation, and lodging options. The optional SiriusXM Satellite Radio entertainment audio feature of the GDL 69A SXM Data Link Receiver handles more than 170 channels of music, news, and sports. SiriusXM Satellite Radio offers more entertainment choices and longer range coverage than commercial broadcast stations. Electronic checklists allow a pilot to quickly find the proper procedure for a particular phase of flight. The Flight Data Logging feature automatically stores critical flight and engine data on an SD data card. Approximately 1,000 flight hours can be recorded for each 1GB of available space on the card.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 381 SYSTEM OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL FEATURES 8.1 SAFETAXI FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The SafeTaxi feature gives greater map detail when viewing airports at close range. The maximum map ranges for enhanced detail are pilot configurable. When viewing at ranges close enough to show the airport detail, the map reveals taxiways with identifying letters/numbers, airport Hot Spots, and airport landmarks including ramps, buildings, control towers, and other prominent features. Resolution is greater at lower map ranges. When the MFD display is within the SafeTaxi ranges, the airplane symbol on the airport provides enhanced position awareness. Designated Hot Spots are recognized at airports with many intersecting taxiways and runways, and/or complex ramp areas. Airport Hot Spots are outlined to caution pilots of areas on an airport surface where positional awareness confusion or runway incursions happen most often. Hot Spots are defined with a magenta circle or outline around the region of possible confusion. Any map page that displays the navigation view can also show the SafeTaxi airport layout within the maximum configured range. The following is a list of pages where the SafeTaxi feature can be seen: • Navigation Map Page • VOR Information Page • Inset Map (PFD) • User Waypoint Information Page • Weather Datalink Page • Trip Planning Page • Airport Information Page • Nearest Pages • Intersection Information Page • Active and Stored Flight Plan Pages • NDB Information Page INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE During ground operations the aircraft’s position is displayed in reference to taxiways, runways, and airport features.

A APPENDIX A SYSTEM OVERVIEW ANNUNCIATIONS AND ALERTS • AUDIO PANEL & CNS • EIS • FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS • The Alerting System conveys alerts using the following: CAS Window: The CAS Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. Text color is based on alert levels described in the following section. The CAS Window is located to the right of the Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator. A white horizontal line separates annunciations that are acknowledged from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged. Higher priority annunciations are displayed towards the top of the window. ALERTS Window: The ALERTS Window displays text messages for up to 64 prioritized messages. Pressing the ALERTS Softkey displays the ALERTS Window. Pressing the ALERTS Softkey a second time removes the ALERTS Window from the display. When the ALERTS Window is displayed, the FMS Knob can be used to scroll through the message list. Softkey Annunciation: When a new system message is issued, the ALERTS Softkey flashes to alert the flight crew of a new message. It continues to flash until acknowledged by pressing the softkey. Active messages are displayed in white text. Messages that have become inactive change to gray text. The ALERTS Softkey flashes if the state of a displayed message changes or a new message is displayed. The inactive messages can be removed from the Messages Window by pressing the flashing ALERTS Softkey.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT NOTE: Any CAS messages that are generated when the system is first powered on are considered already acknowledged. The Alerting System uses three alert levels. Messages are grouped by criticality (warning, caution, advisory) and sorted by order of appearance (most recent messages on top). The color of the message is based on its urgency and on required action: HAZARD AVOIDANCE The Crew Alerting System (CAS) Window is located on the right side of the PFD. Warning messages cannot be scrolled through and remain at the top of the CAS window. The scroll bar appears if more caution and advisory messages exist than can be displayed at once or if messages have been scrolled off the display. The CAS softkeys also become available. AFCS NOTE: Aural alerts associated with abnormal conditions and advisories are managed through the audio panels. Refer to the Audio Panel and CNS Section for more information. INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES WARNING: This level of alert requires immediate attention. A warning alert appears in the CAS Window and is accompanied by a continuously repeating chime. Text appearing in the CAS Window is red. A warning alert is also accompanied by a flashing WARNING Softkey annunciation. Pressing the Warning Softkey acknowledges the warning alert and stops the aural tone, if applicable. CAUTION: This level of alert indicates the existence of abnormal conditions on the aircraft that may require pilot intervention. When a new caution alert appears in the CAS Window, it is shown in black on amber inverse video in conjunction with the CAUTION Softkey and is accompanied by a single chime. Pressing the CAUTION Softkey acknowledges all amber messages and extinguishes the softkey. Once acknowledged, caution messages are displayed until the issue is corrected. ADVISORY: This level of alert provides general information. When a new white advisory appears in the CAS window, it is shown in black on white inverse video in conjunction with the ADVISORY Softkey. System Alert Message Advisory: This level of alert provides general information to the pilot. Message Advisories appear in the Alerts Window and are not shown in the CAS Window. When a Message Advisory occurs, the system provides a white flashing ALERTS Softkey annunciation. Pressing the softkey acknowledges the message advisory alert, stops the white flashing ALERTS Softkey annunciation, and displays the associated text in the Alerts Window. The ALERTS Softkey annunciation label remains until a new message is displayed. 416 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A APPENDIX A SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Some CAS messages can be display in more than one alert level group. For example, a message might display as both a warning and a caution, but cannot appear more than once at any given time. If the received signals justify multiple priorities for a certain message, the message is displayed for the higher priority condition. When graduating to a higher priority, the message flashes and requires new acknowledgment. When degrading to a lower priority condition, the message moves to the top of the appropriate grouping, but does not require new acknowledgment.

A APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW DATABASE MANAGEMENT FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Database information is obtained from third party sources. Inaccuracies in the data may be discovered from time to time. Garmin communicates this information by issuing a Database Alert. These notifications are available on flygarmin.com. Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to flygarmin.com and select Aviation Data Error Report. The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load verious types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database upldates. Use only 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB cards. If it is desired to leave the card in the system, only Garmin, OEM, or dealer provided cards should be used. SD cards obtained elsewhere, may be acceptable for database loading, but must be removed when database loading is complete. EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interruption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as navigation and ChartView database updates. Not all SD cards are compatible with the system. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer. CAUTION: When downloading updates to the Navigation Database, copy the data to an SD card other than a Garmin Supplemental Data Card. Otherwise, data corruption can occur. HAZARD AVOIDANCE NOTE: When loading database updates, the ‘DB Mismatch’ message will be displayed until database synchronization is complete, followed by turning system power off, then on. Synchronization can be monitored on the AUX-SYSTEM STATUS Page. AFCS NOTE: Loading a database in the system prior to its effective date will result in the expiration date on the power-on screen and the effective date on the AUX-System Status Page being displayed in amber. ADDITIONAL FEATURES NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX 190-02692-00 Rev. A APPENDICES following: It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System. Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs) by virtue of a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each database and can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Type 2 LOA Status.’ Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established current version of the pertinent flight manual and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment. 429 SYSTEM OVERVIEW NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS APPENDIX B NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete.

The database alerts can be viewed at flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation Database Alerts.’ EIS NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support to coordinate the revised DQRs. AUDIO PANEL & CNS NAVIGATION DATABASES FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The navigation database is updated on a 28-day cycle. There are two possible methods for updating the navigation database. If the 28-day cycle of your navigation database has already ended, you must update the active navigation database. However, if the expiration date of the navigation database hasn’t already been reached, you may load a standby navigation database. The system will then automatically update the active database at the first aircraft power-on when the new navigation becomes effective. The navigation database must be installed from the Jeppesen or user supplied SD data card. Go to flygarmin. com or www.jeppesen.com for subscription and update information. HAZARD AVOIDANCE NOTE: To do this procedure, use a blank SD card to copy the navigation database. Garmin SD Cards (bottom SD card slots) must NOT be used. The use of SanDisk SD Card is recommended to update the navigation database file. Before utilization, it is recommended to format the SD Card with the FAT32 file system so that displays will read it. NOTE: After the navigation database is installed, the card may be removed. AFCS Updating the active navigation database (not using the Dual Navigation Database or Automatic Database Synchronization Features): 1) Go to flygarmin.com or www.jeppesen.com.

A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 431 SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B DUAL NAVIGATION DATABASE FEATURE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The dual navigation database feature allows each display to store an upcoming navigation database on the bottom SD card so the system can automatically load it to replace the active database when the new database becomes effective (the next cycle becomes available seven days prior to its effective date). If a navigation database loader card is inserted into the top SD card slot of a display, and an SD card is in the bottom slot, the system will prompt the user (when power is applied on-ground) as to whether the database should be stored on the bottom SD card as the standby database. If the user responds affirmatively, the system will copy the navigation database from the top SD card to the bottom SD card. As long as the bottom SD card remains in the card slot, this standby navigation database will be available for the system to use as the active database as soon as it becomes effective. The system checks the active and standby databases upon (on-ground only) power-on. If the standby database is current and the active database is out of date, the display will upload the standby database into the active internal database location. Loading the standby database to the active location takes approximately 45-55 seconds. During the loading process ‘Please Wait. Navigation Database Update in Progress. Do Not Remove Power from Displays’ will be displayed on screen. After startup is complete, the pilot is alerted the update is complete by a system alert message, ‘NAV DB UPDATED’. In some situations, such as an overnight flight in which departure date is prior to the effective date of the standby database and arrival date is after the effective date, it may be desired to force the loaded standby database into active service earlier than the system would otherwise make the change. This can be accomplished by selecting the STBY DB Softkey on the AUX-System Status Page. Turn system power off, then on to complete the database change. HAZARD AVOIDANCE NOTE: After the standby navigation database is installed, the card must be removed. Loading a standby navigation database: AFCS NOTE: To do this procedure, use a blank SD card to copy the navigation database. Garmin SD Cards (bottom SD card slots) must NOT be used.

Each Supplemental Data Card resides in the bottom card of each display. These cards must not be removed except to update the databases stored on each card. MFD INDEX APPENDICES PFD1 Figure B-11 Correct Database Locations 434 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Since these databases are not stored internally in the displays, a Supplemental Data Card containing identical database versions must be kept in each display unit. The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as rivers, lakes, and towns. It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is no expiration date. The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. These databases are updated periodically and have no expiration date. The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The AOPA or AC-U-KWIK Airport Directory provides detailed information about airports and heliports, along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs. The AOPA Airport Directory covers U.S. airports, while the AC-U-KWIK Airport Directory coverage area may be worldwide or regional, depending on the database purchased. Both AOPA and AC-U-KWIK Airport Directory databases are updated every 56 days. The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle. The FliteCharts database contains procedure charts for the United States, Canada, and Europe. This database is updated on a 28-day cycle. If not updated within 180 days of the expiration date, FliteCharts will no longer function. The ChartView database should be copied to the Garmin supplied Supplemental Data Card which will reside in the bottom card slot on the MFD. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for subscription and update information. HAZARD AVOIDANCE AUTOMATIC DATABASE SYNCHRONIZATION FEATURE AFCS INDEX Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga APPENDICES 190-02692-00 Rev. A ADDITIONAL FEATURES The automatic database synchronization feature automatically transfers the database from a single SD database card to the SD cards on the PFD and the MFD to ensure that all databases are synchronized throughout the system. After power-on, the system compares all copies of each applicable database. If similar databases do not match, the most recent valid database is automatically copied to each card in the system that does not already contain that database. The following databases are checked and synchronized: Basemap, Safetaxi, Obstacle, Airport Directory and (AOPA or AC-U-KWIK). This feature applies only to databases that are stored on the SD card that resides in the bottom slot of each display. This feature does not apply to the navigation database which is stored internally in each display, to the Terrain database, or to the charts databases (FliteCharts and ChartView) which are only required to be present on the MFD. The typical procedure would be to download new databases to the MFD card, then synchronize the data to the PFD. The synchronization progress may be monitored on the AUX-System Status Page in the Sync Status section of the Database Window. This section shows the synchronization status of each applicable database, including the percent complete, time remaining, and to which displays the databases are being copied. When the synchronization is complete, the status is listed as ‘Complete’, followed by the displays to which the databases were copied. This sub-section is only present when a sync is occurring or has occurred on the current poweron. 435 SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX B AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS An indication of ‘Complete’ still requires a power cycle before the synchronized databases will be used by the system. Figure B-12 AUX-System Status Page, Database Window AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The Display Database Softkey is used to place the cursor in the Database Window. Upon first press of the Display Database Softkey, the softkey will change to a selected state (black text on gray background) and the cursor will appear in the Database Window. At this point the user can scroll through all databases in the Database Window to view status information. If the Display Database Softkey is pressed repeatedly, the softkey will switch between PFD1 and MFD1. Database status information in the Database Window will reflect the database of the selected PFD or MFD. After a successful sync and restart, verify the proper databases are now in use on the AUX–System Status Page. If an error occurs during the synchronization, an error message will be displayed, followed by the affected display in the Sync Status section of the Database Window. If a synchronization completes on one display, but an error occurs on another, the error message will be displayed with the affected display listed after it. When an error message is displayed, the problem must be corrected before the synchronization can be completed. A power cycle is required to restart synchronization when ‘Card Full’ or ‘Err’ is shown. ADDITIONAL FEATURES Database Synchronization Error Message Figure B-13 Synchronization Error Message INDEX APPENDICES Error Message Description Canceled Database synchronization has been canceled by removing the bottom SD card in display being updated Card Full SD card does not contain sufficient memory Err Displayed for all other errors that may cause the synchronization process to be halted Timeout System timed-out prior to the database transfer completing Table B-1 Database Synchronization Error Messages 436 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A APPENDIX B SYSTEM OVERVIEW UPDATING GARMIN DATABASES/JEPPESEN CHARTVIEW DATABASE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detailed in the ‘Aviation Databases’ section of the Garmin website (flygarmin.com). Jeppesen Chartview can be download from the Garmin website but operators must contact Jeppesen to subscribe. Once the updated files have been downloaded from the website, a PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the new databases onto an existing Supplemental Data Card.

A APPENDIX D SYSTEM OVERVIEW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS If a particular aspect of system operational capability is not addressed by these commonly asked questions or in the index, contact Garmin (see the copyright page or back cover for contact information) or a Garmin-authorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. What is SBAS? EIS The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors. These ground stations correct for errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, timing, and satellite orbit errors. It also provides vital integrity information regarding the health of each GPS satellite. The signal correction is then broadcast through geostationary satellites. This correction information can then be received by any SBAS-enabled GPS receiver. SBAS is designed to provide the additional accuracy, availability, and integrity necessary to enable users to rely on GPS for all phases of flight. There are several SBAS systems serving different parts of the world. The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is currently available in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) offers coverage of Europe, parts of the middle east and northern Africa. The Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) covers mainly Japan and parts of northern Australia. AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT How does SBAS affect approach operations? HAZARD AVOIDANCE Both LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches use the accuracy of SBAS to include vertical (glide path) guidance capability. The additional accuracy and vertical guidance capability allows improved instrument approaches to an expanded number of airports throughout the U.S. The implementation of LPV approaches further improves precision approach capabilities. LPV approaches are designed to make full use of the improved GPS signal from the SBAS. This approach combines the LNAV/ VNAV vertical accuracy with lateral guidance similar to the typical Instrument Landing System (ILS). LPV approaches allow lower approach minimums. What is RAIM and how does it affect approach operations? AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES RAIM is an acronym for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring. RAIM is a GPS receiver function that performs the following functions: -- Monitors and verifies integrity and geometry of tracked GPS satellites -- Notifies the pilot when satellite conditions do not provide the necessary coverage to support a certain phase of flight -- Predicts satellite coverage of a destination area to determine whether the number of available satellites is sufficient to satisfy requirements APPENDICES NOTE: If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active, as indicated by the “RAIM not available from FAF to MAP” message and the LOI annunciation flagging on the HSI. 190-02692-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX For RAIM to work correctly, the GPS receiver must track at least five satellites. A minimum of six satellites is required to allow RAIM to eliminate a single corrupt satellite from the navigation solution. 451 SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX D FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS RAIM ensures that satellite geometry allows for a navigation solution calculation within a specified protection limit (2.0 nm for oceanic and en route, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). The system monitors RAIM and issues an alert message when RAIM is not available (see Appendix A). Without RAIM, GPS position accuracy cannot be monitored. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the pilot must fly the missed approach procedure. What is GSL altitude? EIS GSL (Geodetic Sea Level) altitude is the height above Mean Sea Level (MSL), as calculated geometrically, generally using a global positioning system (GPS) as the primary data source. The calculated result may or may not include a barometric component, but the primary source is geometric. Why are there not any approaches available for a flight plan? AUDIO PANEL & CNS Approaches are available for the final destination airport in a flight plan or as a direct-to (keep in mind that some VOR/VORTAC identifiers are similar to airport identifiers). If a destination airport does not have a published approach, the system indicates “NONE” for the available procedures. What happens when an approach is selected? Can a flight plan with an approach, a departure, or an arrival be stored? AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT When an approach, departure, or arrival is loaded into the active flight plan, a set of approach, departure, or arrival waypoints is inserted into the flight plan, along with a header line showing the title of the selected instrument procedure. The original en route portion of the flight plan remains active, unless the instrument procedure is activated. This may be done either when the procedure is loaded or at a later time. Flight plans can also be stored with an approach, a departure, or an arrival. Note the active flight plan is erased when the system is turned off. Also, the active flight plan is overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans with an approach, a departure, or an arrival, the system uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the system automatically updates the information, provided the procedure has not been modified. Should an approach, departure, or arrival procedure no longer be available, the flight plan becomes locked until the procedure is deleted from the flight plan. Can “slant Golf” (“/G”) be filed using the G1000? ADDITIONAL FEATURES “/G” may be filed for a flight plan. The system meets the requirements of TSO-C145a Class 3 and ETSO C145 Class 3 installations. GPS approaches are not to be flown with an expired database. See the current version of the pertinent flight manual as well as the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) for more information. What does the OBS Softkey do? INDEX APPENDICES The OBS Softkey is used to select manual sequencing of waypoints. Activating OBS mode sets the current active-to waypoint as the primary navigation reference and prevents the system from sequencing to the next waypoint in a flight plan. When OBS mode is cancelled, automatic waypoint sequencing is continued, and the system automatically activates the next waypoint in the flight plan once the aircraft has crossed the present active waypoint. 452 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev. A APPENDIX D SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Normal (OBS not activated) OBS • Automatic sequencing of waypoints • Manual sequencing - ‘holds’ on selected waypoint • Manual course change on HSI not possible • Manually select course to waypoint from HSI • Always navigates ‘TO’ the active waypoint • Indicates ‘TO’ or ‘FROM’ waypoint • Must be in this mode for final approach course • Cannot be set for final approach course or published holding patterns When OBS mode is active, the system allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a waypoint using the CRS/BARO Knob and HSI (much like a VOR). The most common application for using the OBS Softkey is the missed approach. The system suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a ‘SUSP’ annunciation placed on the HSI) when the missed approach point (MAP) is crossed. This prevents the system from automatically sequencing to the missed approach holding point (MAHP). During this time, the OBS Softkey designation changes to SUSP. Pressing the SUSP Softkey reactivates automatic waypoint sequencing. The OBS Softkey then resumes its normal functionality. EIS AUDIO PANEL & CNS Why might the system not automatically sequence to the next waypoint? FLIGHT MANAGEMENT The system only sequences flight plan waypoints when automatic sequencing is enabled (i.e., no ‘OBS’ or ‘SUSP’ annunciation on the HSI). For automatic sequencing to occur, the aircraft must also cross the bisector of the turn being navigated. The bisector is a line passing through the waypoint common to two flight plan legs at an equal angle from each leg. How can a waypoint be skipped in an approach, a departure, or an arrival? HAZARD AVOIDANCE The system allows the pilot to manually select any approach, departure, or arrival leg as the active leg of the flight plan. This procedure is performed on the MFD from the Active Flight Plan Page by highlighting the desired waypoint and pressing the ACT Leg Softkey then the ENT Key to approve the selection. The GPS then provides navigation along the selected flight plan leg. When does turn anticipation begin? AFCS The system smooths adjacent leg transitions based on a normal 15° bank angle (with the ability to roll up to 30°) and provides three pilot cues for turn anticipation: -- A waypoint alert (‘Next DTK ###° in # seconds’ or ‘Next HDG ###° in # seconds’) appears on the PFD 10 seconds before the turn point and flashes as it counts down to zero. -- A flashing turn advisory (‘Turn [right/left] to ###° in # seconds’) appears on the PFD 10 seconds before the turn and flashes as it counts down to zero. ‘Turn [right/left] to ###° now’ or ‘Next [DTK/HDG] to ###° now’ is displayed when the pilot is to begin the turn and the HSI (GPS mode) automatically sequences to the next DTK or HDG value. -- The To/From indicator on the HSI flips momentarily to indicate the midpoint of the turn has been crossed. ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES When does the CDI scale change? 190-02692-00 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga INDEX Once a departure is activated, the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) full scale deflection is set to 0.3 nm. The CDI scale changes to 1.0 nm (terminal mode) then ramps up to 2.0 nm (enroute mode) at 30 nm from the departure airport. When 31 nm from the destination, the CDI scale smoothly transition from 2.0 nm back to 1.0 nm (terminal mode). At 2.0 nm before the FAF during an active approach, the CDI scale transitions down further based on the type of approach activated (LNAV, LNAV/VNAV, LPV). When a missed approach is activated, the CDI is set to 0.3 nm. See the Flight Instruments Section for more details on CDI scaling. 453 SYSTEM OVERVIEW APPENDIX D Why does the HSI not respond like a VOR when OBS mode is active? FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Unlike a VOR, the CDI scale used on GPS equipment is based on the crosstrack distance to the desired course, not on the angular relationship to the destination. Therefore, the CDI deflection on the GPS is constant regardless of the distance to the destination and does not become less sensitive when further away from the destination. What is the correct missed approach procedure? How is the missed approach holding point selected? AUDIO PANEL & CNS EIS To comply with TSO specifications, the system does not automatically sequence past the MAP. The first waypoint in the missed approach procedure becomes the active waypoint when the SUSP Softkey is selected after crossing the MAP. All published missed approach procedures must be followed, as indicated on the approach plate. To execute the missed approach procedure prior to the MAP (not recommended), select the Active Flight Plan Page and use the ACT Leg Softkey to activate the missed approach portion of the procedure. After a missed approach, how can the same approach be re-selected? How can a new approach be activated? FLIGHT MANAGEMENT NOTE: Do not attempt to reactivate the current approach prior to crossing the missed approach point (MAP). If an attempt to do so is made, an alert message “Are you sure you want to discontinue the current approach?” appears. The system directs the pilot back to the transition waypoint and does not take into consideration any missed approach procedures, if the current approach is reactivated. INDEX APPENDICES ADDITIONAL FEATURES AFCS HAZARD AVOIDANCE After flying the missed approach procedure, the pilot may reactivate the same approach for another attempt by pressing the PROC Key. Once the clearance is given for another attempt, activate the approach by highlighting ‘Activate Approach’ using the large FMS Knob and pressing the ENT Key. The system provides navigation along the desired course to the waypoint and rejoins the approach in sequence from that point. To activate a new approach for the same airport, select the new procedure by pressing the PROC Key. Choose ‘Select Approach’, select the desired approach from the list shown, and press the ENT Key. Select the desired transition, then activate the approach using the ENT Key. To activate a new approach to a different airport, press the Direct-to Key and select the desired airport using the FMS Knobs. Press the ENT Key to accept the selected airport, then follow the steps in the preceding paragraph to select an approach for the new airport. 454 Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Piper PA-32 Saratoga 190-02692-00 Rev.
