Each display bezel is equipped with two SD card slots. SD cards are used for aviation database and system software updates as well as terrain database storage. Not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000H. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer.
Page 23: System Power-Up
NOTE: 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.
Page 24: System Operation
Figure 1-1. This allows the units to share information, enabling true system integration.. This section discusses normal and reversionary G1000H display operation, as well as the various AHRS modes and G1000H System Annunciations.
Page 25: Reversionary Display Operation
SYSTEM OVERVIEW REVERSIONARY DISPLAY OPERATION The G1000H System alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to Appendix NOTE: A for further information regarding system-specific alerts. In the event of a display failure, the G1000H System automatically switches to reversionary (backup) mode.
Page 26: Ahrs Operation
Figure 1-10 AHRS Operation GPS INPUT FAILURE The G1000H system provides two sources of GPS information. If a single GPS receiver fails, or if the information provided from one of the GPS receivers is unreliable, the AHRS seamlessly transitions to using the other GPS receiver.
Page 27: G1000H System Annunciations
When an LRU or an LRU function fails, a large red “X” is typically displayed on windows associated with the failed data (Figure 1-11 displays all possible flags and responsible LRUs). Upon G1000H power-up, certain windows remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize. If any window remains flagged, the G1000H system should be serviced by a Garmin-authorized repair facility.

If a particular aspect of G1000H operational capability is not addressed by these commonly asked questions or in the index, contact Garmin (see the copyright page or back cover for contact information) or a Garmin- authorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers.
Page 526 Also, the active flight plan is overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans with an approach, a departure, or an arrival, the G1000H uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the G1000H System automatically updates the information, provided the procedure has not been modified.
Page 527 When OBS mode is active, the G1000H allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a waypoint using the CRS/BARO Knob and HSI (much like a VOR). The most common application for using the OBS Softkey is the missed approach. The G1000H suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a ‘SUSP’...
Page 528 (MAP). If an attempt to do so is made, an alert message “Are you sure you want to discontinue the current approach?” appears. The G1000H directs the pilot back to the transition waypoint and does not take into consideration any missed approach procedures, if the current approach is reactivated.
