Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon

the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance feature is NOT
intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does
not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings
during flight. The terrain avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for
terrain avoidance. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin
is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory
in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and
terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts
for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by the GPS receivers is geometric height

above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed
by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74B Air Data Computer, or other
altimeters in the aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical
navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the PFD or other
pressure altimeters in aircraft.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in

the system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information
remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their
own risk.

WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for
primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other
approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to
enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided as an

aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only
upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.

WARNING: XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather

penetration. Weather information provided by the GDL 69A is approved only
for weather avoidance, not penetration.

G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-46 Mirage/Matrix 190-01107-00 Rev. A
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

Warning: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning

purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative
age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range
weather avoidance.

WARNING: The G1000 Integrated Flight Deck, as installed in the Mirage/

Matrix aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the
pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability
for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it
may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication
shown by the system. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such
an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated
information available in the cockpit.

WARNING: For safety reasons, system operational procedures must be learned

on the ground.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and

understand all aspects of the G1000 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the
Mirage/Matrix Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation
prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications
from the system to all available navigation sources, including the information
from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always
resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use
the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified
as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may 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/aboutGarmin/
environment/disposal.jsp.

WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the

system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and
heading indications. 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).

CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special
anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-
REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean,
lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-
reflective coatings.

CAUTION: The system does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs
should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized
repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority
to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

nOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect
the most current system and databases. Depictions of equipment may differ
slightly from the actual equipment.

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.

G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA-46 Mirage/Matrix 190-01107-00 Rev. A
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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.

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: 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: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim
or blank.

NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot
a resource with which to find operating instructions on the major features
of the G1000 system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive
operating guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found
in the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck Pilot’s Guide.

Dead Reckoning

Instruments
Flight
While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the G1000 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 G1000 uses its last-known position

DR Mode is indicated on the G1000 by the appearance of the letters ‘DR’

Dual Navigation Databases

Instruments
Flight
The dual navigation database feature allows each display to store an upcoming
navigation database on the bottom SD card so that the system can automatically load it
to replace the active database when the new database becomes effective (the next cycle

EICAS
becomes available seven days prior to its effective date).
Uploading the standby database to the active location takes approximately 45-55

XPDR/Audio

seconds.
Loading a Navigation Database

1) With the system OFF, insert the SD card containing the navigation database
update into the top card slot of the desired PFD or the MFD.
2) Verify that an SD card is inserted in the bottom slot.

Automatic Database Synchronization

Operation
Abnormal

The automatic database synchronization feature automatically transfers the database

from a single SD database card to the SD cards on each PFD and the MFD to ensure
that all databases are synchronized throughout the system. After power-up, the system
Annun/
Alerts

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
Appendix

not already contain that database.

NOTE: The 9-arc second terrain database may take as long as 100 minutes to
synchronize using this method. Therefore the user may want to transfer the data
Index

using a PC, or connect the system to a ground power source while performing
the database synchronization.
