7.7 FLIGHT PLANS

The G1000 can create up to 99 different ight plans with up to 31 waypoints in each ight plan. The ight plan (FPL) page group consists of three pages: Active Flight Plan Flight Plan Catalog Vertical Navigation The Flight Plan Pages are used to create, edit and copy ight plans. The Vertical Navigation Page is used to create a three-dimensional prole which guides the aircraft to a nal (target) altitude at a specied location.
The data elds are user-selectable and can be changed to display the following: Cumulative Distance (CUM) Distance (DIS) Desired Track (DTK) Enroute Safe Altitude (ESA) Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) Estimated Time Enroute (ETE)
ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN PAGE OPTIONS
The following options are available for the Flight Plan Page: Activate Leg Store Flight Plan Invert Flight Plan Delete Flight Plan Load Departure Load Arrival Load Approach Remove Arrival Remove Departure Remove Approach Closest Point of FPL Change Fields Restore Defaults

ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN PAGE

The Active Flight Plan Page provides information and editing functions for the ight plan currently in use for navigation. Once a Direct-to or ight plan has been activated, the Active Flight Plan Page shows the following: Each waypoint for the ight plan (or a single waypoint for a Direct-to), along with the desired track (DTK) and distance of each leg (DIS). Active leg information with enroute safe altitude (ESA) for the specied leg.

Satellite Status Page

Satellite constellation displaying the following for each satellite being tracked: Azimuth Elevation PRN number Tracking status A receiver tracking status display that displays the following GPS sub-system status situations: 2D NAV, when only 2-dimensional position is available 3D NAV, when 3-dimensional position is available Estimated position error Dilution of precision Horizontal uncertainty level GPS calculated position GPS calculated time of day GPS calculated altitude Ground Speed Track
The sky view display at the top left corner of the page shows the satellites currently in view as well as their respective positions. The outer circle of the sky view represents the horizon (with north at the top of the circle); the inner circle represents 45 above the horizon and the center point shows the position directly overhead. Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (hollow signal strength bar) before the satellite may be used for navigation (solid signal strength bar). Once the GPS receiver has determined your position, the G1000 indicates your position, altitude, track and ground speed. The GPS receiver status eld also displays the following messages under the appropriate conditions: Acquiring Sat - The GPS receiver is acquiring satellites for navigation. In this mode, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. 2D Navigation - The GPS receiver is in 2D navigation mode. 3D Navigation - The GPS receiver is in 3D navigation mode and computes altitude using satellite data.

GPS Signal Strength
The Satellite Status Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. Refer to this page occasionally to monitor GPS receiver performance and establish a normal pattern for system operation. Should problems occur at a later date, it may be helpful to have an established baseline from which to compare.

Date/Time

The Date/Time box provides settings for time format (local or UTC; 12- or 24-hour) and time offset. The time offset is used to dene current local time. UTC (also called GMT or Zulu) date and time are calculated directly from the GPS satellites signals and cannot be changed. If you prefer to use local time, simply designate the offset by adding or subtracting the correct number of hours.
