SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations. NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: See the Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) for specific procedures concerning avionics power application and emergency power supply operation. The G1000H system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The G1000H 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, as shown in Figure 1-7. ALTN is also displayed on the Power Situation Indicator and Torque will be marked QA. All system annunciations should disappear typically within one minute of power-up at nomal temperature, but may take as long as 10 minutes at cold temperatures. Upon power-up, key annunciator lights also become momentarily illuminated on the audio panels, the control units 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 one minute of power-up. The AHRS can align itself both while taxiing and during level flight. When the MFD powers up (Figure 1-6), the MFD Power-up Page displays the following information: • System version • Copyright • Land database name and version • Safe Taxi database information • Terrain database name and version • Airport Terrain database name and version • Obstacle database name and version • Navigation database name, version, and effective dates • Airport Directory name, version and effective dates • FliteCharts/ChartView database information • Pilot Profile selection Current database information includes the 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 acknowledges this information and displays the Auxiliary (AUX) Weight Planning Page. Figure 1-6 MFD Power-up Page Figure 1-7 PFD Initialization 190-01255-00 Rev.
