APPENDIX D
For	RAIM	 to	work	 correctly,	 the	GPS	 receiver	 must	track	 at	least	 five	satellites.		 A	minimum	 of	six	 satellites	 is	
required	to	allow	RAIM	to	eliminate	a	single	corrupt	satellite	from	the	navigation	solution.
RAIM	ensures	 that	satellite	 geometry	 allows	for	a	navigation	 solution	calculation	 within	a	specified	 protection	
limit	(2.0	nm	for	oceanic	 and	en	route,	 1.0	nm	 for	terminal,	 and	0.3	nm	 for...

Normal (OBS not activated)
•	Automatic sequencing of waypoints 
•	 Manual
When	 OBS	mode	 is	active,	 the	G1000	 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	G1000	 suspends	
automatic	 waypoint	sequencing	 (indicated	by	a	‘SUSP’	 annunciation	 placed	on	the...

Once	a	departure	 is	activated,	 the	G1000	 Course	 Deviation	 Indicator	(CDI)	full	scale	 deflection	 is	set	 to	0.3	
nm.	 	 The	CDI	 scale	 changes	 to	1.0	 nm	 (terminal	 mode)	then	ramps	 up	to	2.0	 nm	 (enroute	 mode)	at	30	 nm	
from	 the	departure	 airport.		When	31	nm	 from	 the	destination,	 the	CDI	 scale	 smoothly	 transition	 from	2.0	nm
