General DA 62 AFM
1.8 G1000 AVIONICS SYSTEM
1. The G1000 Integrated Avionics System is a fully integrated flight, engine,
communication, navigation and surveillance instrumentation system. The system
consists of a Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi-Function Display (MFD), audio panel,
Air Data Computer (ADC), Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), engine
sensors and processing unit (GEA), and integrated avionics (GIA) containing VHF
communications, VHF navigation, and GPS (Global Positioning System).
2. The primary function of the PFD is to provide attitude, heading, air data, navigation,
and alerting information to the pilot. The PFD may also be used for flight planning.
The primary function of the MFD is to provide engine information, mapping, terrain
information, autopilot operation, and for flight planning. The audio panel is used for
selection of radios for transmitting and listening, intercom functions, and marker beacon
functions.
3. The primary function of the VHF Communication portion of the G1000 is to enable
external radio communication. The primary function of the VOR/ILS Receiver portion
of the equipment is to receive and demodulate VOR, Localizer, and Glide Slope
signals. The primary function of the GPS portion of the system is to acquire signals
from the GPS satellites, recover orbital data, make range and Doppler measurements,
and process this information in real-time to obtain the user's position, velocity, and
time.
4. If the Garmin GWX 70 weather radar system is installed, it can be used to aid the pilot
in avoiding thunderstorms and associated turbulence or for ground mapping. The
GWX 70 shall be used to avoid severe weather and not for penetrating severe weather.
Pulse type weather radar systems like the GWX 70 detect precipitation only, not clouds
or turbulence. The display may indicate clear areas between intense returns, but this
does not necessarily mean it is safe to fly between them. As installed on the DA 62,
the Garmin GWX 70 has a demonstrated range of 160 nautical miles. Refer to Garmin
G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the DA 62, P/N 190-01895-( ) for Garmin G1000 or
P/N 190-01904-( ) for G1000 NXi in the latest effective issue for further information.
