User manual GARMIN G1000: DIAMOND SYSTEM SOFTWARE VERSION 0369.13 PILOT'S GUIDE REV. A, APR, 2007

[. . . ] This manual reflects the operation of System Software version 369. 13 or later for the Diamond DA40 or DA40F. Some differences in operation may be observed when comparing the information in this manual to earlier or later software versions.

[. . . ] The G1000 annunciates all constraints that cannot be used to calculate vertical guidance by displaying the value in halftone, light blue text. The following conditions constitute an invalid altitude constraint: · Meeting the constraint requires the aircraft to climb · Meeting the constraint requires the maximum flight path angle to be exceeded · Meeting the constraint requires the maximum vertical speed to be exceeded · The altitude constraint results in a TOD behind the aircraft present position · The constraint is within a leg type for which altitude constraints are not supported 190-00592-03 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide for the Diamond DA40/40F 5-107 GPS NAVIGATION · To add an altitude constraint to the FAF or a waypoint past the FAF of an approach that provides vertical guidance (i. e. ILS or GPS WAAS approach) · To add an altitude constraint to any waypoint past the FAF of an approach that does not provide vertical guidance (i. e. To enter altitudes as a flight level, enter an "F" in the most significant digit by rotating the inner FMS Knob counter-clockwise past zero or clockwise past 9, the system automatically changes to show units of Flight Level. NOTE: Vertical constraints and Along Track offset waypoints are not retained in stored flight plans. NOTE: When an altitude constraint is subdued it means that the user has selected a vertical profile that cannot be flown. The computed FPA for adjacent vertical constraints is too steep. Entering an altitude constraint: 1) Select the Active Flight Plan Page. 4) Press the ENT Key to accept the VNV altitude constraint.

A GPS NAVIGATION ALTITUDE CONSTRAINT MODIFICATION An altitude constraint is deleted by highlighting the altitude and pressing the CLR Key followed by the ENT Key. In the event an altitude constraint is deleted and the navigation database contains an altitude restriction for the lateral waypoint, the G1000 displays the altitude restriction from the database provided no predicted altitude can be provided. Changing an altitude constraint: 1) Select the Active Flight Plan Page. 4) Press the ENT Key to confirm the change. Deleting an altitude constraint: 1) Select the Active Flight Plan Page. 4) Select the ENT Key. ALONG TRACK OFFSETS NOTE: An along track offset waypoint cannot be created if it is not adjacent to its parent waypoint Offset distances can be entered from 1 to 99 nautical miles in increments of 1 nautical mile before the offset waypoint (shown as a negative value) or after the offset waypoint (shown as a positive value). A waypoint is allowed as long as the along track offset places the waypoint adjacent to its parent waypoint in the lateral flight plan. An along track offset that places a waypoint after the final approach fix of an approach is not allowed. Along track offset waypoints lie along the great circle path of the existing lateral flight plan. Assigning an along track offset to a leg with indeterminate length is not permitted. Entering a negative offset distance results in an along track offset waypoint inserted before the selected lateral waypoint, whereas entering a positive offset distance results in an along track offset waypoint inserted after the selected lateral waypoint. The creation of multiple along track offset waypoints is allowed. NOTE: If the CLR Key is pressed prior to completing the definition of the along track offset waypoint, the along track offset waypoint is removed. NOTE: An along track offset distance cannot be modified once entered. If the along track offset distance must be changed, the existing along track offset waypoint must be deleted and a new one created with the corrected offset distance. 190-00592-03 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide for the Diamond DA40/40F 5-109 GPS NAVIGATION Entering an along track offset distance: 1) Select the Active Flight Plan Page. 4) Enter a positive or negative offset distance in the range of +/- 1 to 99 nautical miles (Figure 5-88 ). [. . . ] Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep. Because of this, the surveillance information is approximately five seconds old. TIS ground station tracking software uses prediction algorithms to compensate for this delay. [. . . ]
