NOTE
Due to the sophistication of the G 1 000 Flight
Management
System (FMS), IFR enroute and
instrument approach procedures using the G 1000
FMS/GPS
and KAP 140 Autopilot should be
mastered in VFR conditions (with a safety pilot)
before attempting
I FR operations. Refer to the
G 1
000 Cockpit Reference Guide for additional
information.
Special consideration must be given to SUSP softkey operation and
KAP 140 mode selection during holding pattern, course reversal
maneuver (procedure turn) or missed approach procedures when
using the
G1000 FMS/GPS. The G1000 FMS/GPS provides initial
entry cues for the procedure turn
and the holding pattern but does
not provide course guidance for either maneuver.
Holding pattern operations, whether
in the en route or the terminal
environment, require temporary suspension of flight plan execution
on reaching the holding waypoint. If the holding pattern is part of
an Instrument Approach Procedure (lAP) without an associated
Procedure Turn, suspend
(SUSP) mode will be invoked
automatically by the
G1000 FMS/GPS on reaching the holding
waypoint
(usually an IAF). Holding at an enroute waypoint will
require the pilot to
manually suspend flight plan execution using the
OBS softkey and set the course pointer to the inbound course.
CAUTION
IF THE KAP 140 AUTOPILOT IS ENGAGED IN
EITHER NAV OR APR MODE WHEN THE G1000
FMS/GPS GOES TO SUSP MODE
OR IF THE
PILOT MANUALLY SELECTS OBS MODE, THE
KAP 140 AUTOPILOT WILL BE OPERATING
WITHOUT
A VALID NAVIGATION SOURCE.
SELECT
HDG MODE FOR KAP 140 AUTOPILOT
OPERATION
AND CONTROL AIRCRAFT HEADING
USING
THE HDG CONTROL ON THE PFD (TO SET
THE HSI HEADING BUG).
