OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE BOX

The outside air temperature (OAT) is displayed in °C. On the MFD AUX System Setup Page, OAT can be configured to be displayed in °F instead of °C (refer to the Multi Function Display section).

Figure 2-37 Outside Air Temperature Box

SYSTEM TIME BOX

The System Time Box displays the local time. Time and date is obtained from the satellites and cannot be changed. The pilot may select the desired time format and offset. There are three time formats available: Local 12 hr, Local 24 hr, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The Time Offset (Time Zone) represents the number of hours plus or minus UTC (refer to the Multi Function Display section).

TRAFFIC ANNUNCIATION

NOTE: Refer to the Appendix for detailed information on the Traffic Information Service (TIS).

NOTE:Refer to the Multi Function Display section for detailed information on the Traffic Advisory System (TAS).

The G1000 system displays Traffic Information Service (TIS) or Traffic Advisory System (TAS) traffic on the PFD Inset Map and the MFD Navigation Map Page. When a Traffic Advisory (TA) is detected, the following automatically occurs:

•The Inset Map is enabled and displays the traffic

•A single “TRAFFIC” aural alert is generated

•A flashing black-on-yellow “TRAFFIC” annunciation appears to the top left of the Attitude Indicator for 5 seconds and remains displayed until no TAs are detected in the area

NOTE: If a second TA appears or if the TAs displayed decrease and then increase,new aural and visual alerts are generated.

TERRAIN PROXIMITY

NOTE:Refer to the Multi Function Display section for detailed Terrain Proximity discussion.

The G1000 contains terrain and obstacle databases. Terrain Proximity provides terrain and obstacle data only as an aid to situational awareness. No aural messages or textualannunciationsaredisplayedduringflightregarding the presence of terrain or obstacles.

Terrain Proximity (Inset Map) shows terrain and obstacle data for objects higher than 200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). The G1000 automatically adjusts colors on the Inset Map as the aircraft altitude changes.

Terrain Color Scale

NOTE: Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft latitude is greater than 75º N or 60º S.

TERRAIN AWARENESS AND WARNING SYSTEM (TAWS) (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: Refer to the Annunciations & Alerts and

Multi Function Display sections for detailed

TAWS discussions.

Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) is only available when the G1000 is configured for TAWS-B installation. Class B TAWS provides these principal alerting functions:

•Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA) – which looks ahead of the aircraft along and below the aircraft’s lateral and vertical flight path and provides alerts if a potential Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) threat exists

•Premature Descent Alert (PDA) – uses the aircraft’s current position and flight path information as determined from a suitable navigation source and airport database to determine if the aircraft is significantly below the normal approach path for the destination runway

•Excessive Descent Rate Alert (EDR) – when the aircraft is determined to be closing (descending) upon terrain at an excessive speed

•Negative Climb Rate Alert (NCR) – when the system detects the aircraft is losing altitude (closing upon terrain) after takeoff

•“Five-Hundred” Aural Alert – when the aircraft descends within 500 feet of the terrain or nearest runway elevation

The FLTA and PDA features can be disabled to prevent nuisance alerts while flying VFR into areas where unique terrain exist and could cause the system to annunciate.

TAWS Alert Annunciations

The following alert annunciations appear on the PFD

and MFD:

INSET MAP

NOTE: The Inset Map orientation is always the same as that for the MFD Navigation Map Page.

NOTE: Map orientation and other map features are enabled on the MFD (refer to the Multi Function Display section).

NOTE: Refer to the Multi Function Display section for a detailed explanation of the declutter levels.

The Inset Map is a smaller version of the MFD Navigation Map Page. It appears in the lower left corner ofthePFDandisdisplayedbypressingtheINSETsoftkey. The map disappears from the PFD when pitch exceeds +30° or –20° or when a 65° bank angle is reached. The direct-to function is not available from the Inset Map. The fuel reserve rings are enabled and disabled from the MFD only. The Inset Map displays the following information:

•Moving map with orientation references

–North Up

–Track Up

–DTK Up

–HDG Up

•Zoom range legend

•Declutter levels (3)

•Aircraft icon

•Traffic data

•Topographic data

•Terrain data
