IFR FLIGHT: TRAINING PRE-REQUISITES AND INCREMENTAL
EXPOSITION TO G1000 SUITE
Page 4 - 5
The necessity to correct or modify flight plans in the Garmin G1000 under these
conditions may distract pilots from basic handling causing deviations from as-
signed parameters, so careful attention must be exercised to avoid deviations on
flying parameters.
It’s highly recommended to continue cross-checking flight parameters when en-
tering flight data into the G1000, especially when trying to create / insert arrival
and departure procedures and / or VNAV profiles as the quantity of actions need-
ed is high and may distract pilots from basic and precise handling.
The following prescriptions, other than those already present in the G1000 manu-
al, shall be observed:
- Use of GPS for precision approach navigation mode is not allowed.
- Use of GPS is prohibited as primary means for navigation. GPS is approved as sup-
plemental means for navigation;
- Use of GPS is prohibited for IFR in terminal area or in non-precision approach op-
erations;
If Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) function becomes unavail-
able in en route phase of flight, position must be verified every 15 minutes using
other IFR approved navigation system.
Turbulence and / or crosswind:
Presence of moderate to heavy turbulence and / or strong crosswind conditions (above
20 kts crosswind) will require high drift angle to correct for wind (above 15° drift) and
highly reduce spare capabilities to do other concurrent tasks inside the cockpit other
than precise flying.
