What is the G1000?

• The Garmin G1000 is an integrated

flight management system (FMS)

including attitude and heading

reference, GPS, VHF navigation and

weather information.

• The G1000 is made up of several core

components, in the form of Line

Replaceable Units (LRUs)……..

Attitude and Heading Reference

System (AHRS)

• GDU 1044/1044B

•10.4” display, 1024x768 resolution

•Paired with the GIA63W Integrated Avionics Unit

•Identical screens used for the Primary Flight Display (PFD

and Multifunction Display (MFD)

GIA63/63W

• Garmin Integrated Avionics unit (2)

• Functions as the main information hub for the G1000,

linking all LRUs with the PFD.

• Each GIA 63/63W contains a GPS receiver, VHF

COM/NAV/GS receivers, a flight director (FD) and

system integration microprocessors. The GIA 63W

contains a GPS WAAS receiver.

• GIAs are independent, and do not communicate with

each other directly.

GDC 74A

• Garmin Data Computer (1)

• Processes data from the pitot/static system as well as the OAT probe. This unit provides

• pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed and OAT information to the G1000 system, and it communicates with the GIA 63/63W, GDU 1040/1044B, and GRS 77, using an ARINC 429 digital interface. The GDC 74A also interfaces directly with the GTP 59.

GEA 71

• Garmin Engine & Airframe (1)

• Receives and processes signals from the engine and

airframe sensors. This unit communicates with both GIA

63/63Ws using an RS-485 digital interface.

GRS 77

• Garmin Reference System (1) – Tailcone Bay

• Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)

• Provides aircraft attitude and heading information to both the GDU 1040/1044B and the GIA 63/63W. The GRS 77 contains advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate sensors) and interfaces with the on-side GMU 44 to obtain magnetic field information, with the GDC 74A to obtain air data, and with both GIAs to obtain GPS information.

GMU 44

• Garmin Magnetometer Unit (1) – in left wing

• Measures local magnetic field. Data is sent to the

GRS 77 for processing to determine aircraft

magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly

from the GRS 77 and communicates with the GRS

77.

GMA 1347

• Garmin Marker Beacon/Audio Panel (1)

• Integrates NAV/COM digital audio, intercom system and marker beacon controls. The GMA 1347 also controls manual display reversionary mode (red DISPLAY BACKUP button) and is installed between the MFD and the PFD. The GMA 1347 communicates with both GIA 63/63Ws.

GTX 33

• Garmin Transponder (1)

• Solid-state, Mode-S transponder that provides

Modes A, C and S operation. The GTX 33 is

controlled through the PFD and communicates with

both GIA 63/63Ws

GDL 69A

• Garmin Data Link (1)

• A satellite radio receiver that provides real-time

weather information to the G1000 MFD (and,

indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as

digital audio entertainment (with subscription).

GSA 83 & GSM 85

• The GSA 81 servos are used for the automatic control of

roll, pitch, and pitch trim. These units interface with each

GIA 63/63W.

• The GSM 85 servo mount is responsible for transferring

the output torque of the GSA 81 servo actuator to the

mechanical flight-control surface linkage.
