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.
