GROUND LESSONS Ground Lesson 3 POWER-UP, SELF-TEST, CHECKLIST Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to correctly identify proper alignment of the AHRS/ADC, complete a system self-test and verify the database data. Resources • G1000 Pilot's Guide • G1000 PC-based Simulator Exercise 3.1: System Initialization 1. Is the aircraft required to remain stationary while the AHRS and ADC align? No, the AHRS/ADC can align on the move and even in flight at bank angles of up to 20 degrees for the AHRS. 2. Is there any warm-up time required for the engine instrumentation to be accurate? No. 3. What is the pilot action that should be taken if the MFD system self-test does not pass? Shut down the aircraft and contact maintenance. 4. Where can one verify the effective dates of the Jeppesen database during the initial system start-up? Right-hand side of the MFD at the conclusion of the scrolled text sequence. 5. If the Jeppesen database is not current in the G1000, can the system still be used for IFR flight? Yes, but one cannot file /G for GPS use and one cannot use the GPS for instrument approach procedures. 6. A pilot is planning a flight to KAPA (Centennial Airport, Denver, CO) from KCOU (Columbia, MO). When arriving at the aircraft, the pilot notices that the Jeppesen database is out of date by 3 cycles (84 days). 6a. Can the pilot make the flight under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)? Yes, but one cannot file /G on the flight plan form, and the VOR/LOC/GS receivers must be used for navigation 6b.What en route flight planning considerations must be made? All en route ground Navaids must be operational. This can be verified by checking the NOTAMs. 6c. What destination flight planning considerations must be made? One can only accept a VOR/LOC/ILS approach at KAPA. 6 Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide - Instructor's Reference 190-00368-04 Rev. A
