Electronic Checklist
The Electronic Checklists (ECL) function allows the user to view and interact with aircraft
checklists. The Checklist contents are displayed on the GDUs and the checklist control is
performed using the GCU 475. The Garmin Checkset tool is provided by Garmin at no charge to
the aircraft operator to generate and edit the custom checklist files which are saved in the .gcl
format.
NOTE
For the G1000 NXi update, the checklist has to be saved as a “.gcl” file for
the checklist function to work.
The Checkset tool can be downloaded from the Fly.Garmin website under the Tools tab
(https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/). The checklist is created or edited by the OEM/End user
without involvement from Garmin. Once the electronic checklist is created by the OEM/end user,
it is then downloaded onto an SD card and inserted into the top or bottom MFD card slot. Upon
power-up, the G1000 system checks the MFD SD cards for any checklist files and then
transfers the electronic checklist to the GDU internal memory. Once the Checklist is transferred
to the GDU, the SD card containing the checklist files can be removed and is no longer
required.
Please note that operational usage of the checklist file may require regulatory approval. The
OEM/Operator is expected to obtain the required approval.
2.1.6 FS 510
The FS 510 (Flight Stream 510) wireless data card is shown in Figure 2-6. The FS 510 is an
SD card that installs into the MFD in the aircraft cockpit. The FS510 offers the addition of Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth connectivity for activities such as flight plan transfers and data output to carry-on
devices such as tablets and electronic flight bags. This data may be in the form of GPS
information, weather, aircraft traffic, or other items for flight crew use.
NOTE
Bonding checks are performed with harness connectors connected for all
equipment except for the GWX 75 (If installed). GWX 75 bonding checks
are to be accomplished with the harness connectors disconnected.
IMPORTANT
The Configuration Mode contains certain pages and settings that are
critical to aircraft operation and safety. These pages are protected and
cannot be modified unless the technician is properly authorized and
equipped. Most protected page content is viewable to allow system
awareness for troubleshooting.
NOTE
If the specific procedure requires an SD card to be in the top slot of the
PFD/MFD, this card must be inserted prior to applying power to the
PFD/MFD. Any time a card is inserted, the power to the PFD/MFD must
be cycled.
If a software loader card is inserted in the top slot of the display before it is
powered on, the display will automatically enter configuration mode and the
technician does not need to press and hold a softkey at power-on.
For a complete description and breakdown of each Configuration Mode page, refer to the
G1000 System Maintenance Manual listed in Table 1-2.
CAUTION
In the first example shown in Figure 3-1 the SET columns do not match the ACTIVE columns.
The inequality between SET and ACTIVE indicates a configuration mismatch. By pressing the
SET>ACTV softkey, this copies the SET column to the LRU unit’s configuration memory. The
settings then become the ACTIVE settings for the LRU being configured.
When troubleshooting the system, technicians can look for inequalities between SET and
ACTIVE columns. Certain problems can be resolved simply by pressing the SET>ACTV
softkey, which reloads settings to the specific LRU from the PFD. (Note that this can also be
accomplished by reloading the configuration files for the LRU. Section 7 describes this process
for each LRU).
A blank active column, as shown in Figure 3-2, represents loss of communication between the
display and the particular unit. See Section 5 for more details on troubleshooting.
NOTE
NOTE
Only SanDisk brand SD cards are recommended for use with the G1000
system. Other brand cards have not been tested by Garmin.
IMPORTANT
To satisfy the G1000 Nxi System STC requirements for the Embraer
Phenom P100, it is critical that the technician installs the correct software
image part number when servicing the G1000 Nxi system. Approved
software loader card and image part numbers are defined on the General
Arrangement drawing.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
If a software loader card is inserted in the top slot of the display before it is
powered on, the display will automatically enter configuration mode and it
is not needed to press and hold a softkey at power-on.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
Throughout the next section of this document, screen shots and examples
are used to illustrate the software and configuration loading process.
These screen shots are provided as reference only. Always refer to the
General Arrangement drawing listed in Table 1-1 for the correct software
file names, versions and part numbers.
These procedures must be carried out prior to modification of the aircraft with the Nxi
hardware and software.
Date: _____________________
IMPORTANT
At this time the G1000 Nxi STC does not support the factory ACSS TCAS
3000SP TCAS II, (RCZ-852 or NXT600) Transponders. If the subject
aircraft is equipped with this equipment, do not proceed with the G1000 Nxi
upgrade.
IMPORTANT
If the aircraft is equipped with Sky Watch (L3 TRC 899 TCAS) option, it is
up to the installer to provide regulatory approval for the Sky Integration in
the G1000 Nxi installation.

NOTE
The GRS 77 software change from v3.04 to v3.05 (or later) requires the
Magnetometer calibration be repeated even though it has been performed
previously with earlier GRS 77 software.
IMPORTANT
1. Taxi the aircraft to a site that has been determined to be free of magnetic disturbances.
Ensure that there are no nearby magnetic materials on or near the perimeter of the site.
If unavoidable, maneuver the aircraft to keep the magnetometer from passing within
twenty feet of such objects. Additionally ensure that vehicles or other aircraft are an
adequate distance (40 feet) away from the aircraft under test.
2. As the site, align the aircraft to a heading of magnetic north (± 5 deg). The aircraft
should be positioned to enable clockwise turning around the compass rose.
3. With the aircraft stationary, initiate the GRS 77 AHRS magnetometer calibration
procedure.
4. Enter the AHRS ground pitch/roll aircraft level compensation mode by entering

key to begin the procedure.
11. The PFD advises the operator when to turn the aircraft, when to stop, and when to turn
again.
NOTE
Due to the difficulties in executing smooth, accurate turns the PFD may
incorrectly interpret a station and instruct to “HOLD POSITION” prior to
full completion of a 30 turn. If this scenario is encountered, it is best for
the operator to ignore the “HOLD POSITION” command and instead use
outside references to complete the approximate 30 deg of turn. Instead of
using the PFD instruction to turn as a real-time indication of when to turn,
simply judge the 30° (± 5°) turn increments of the aircraft by using the
compass rose radials. Dwelling at these 30 deg increments for the time
recommended by the PFD should result in successful calibration.
15. Press the ENTER key on the PFDs to conclude the procedure.
NOTE
If uncertain what SD Card to use, the technician must verify the card part
number on the General Arrangement drawing prior to use to assure the
correct feature is unlocked.
