APPROACHES 
 NOTE:  If certain GPS parameters (SBAS, RAIM, etc.) are not available, some published approach procedures 
for the desired airport may not be displayed in the list of available approaches.
An Approach Procedure (APPR) can be loaded at any airport that has one available, and provides guidance 
for non-precision and precision approaches to airports with published instrument approach procedures.  
Only one approach can be loaded at a time in a flight plan. If an approach is loaded when another approach 
is already in the active flight plan, the new approach replaces the previous approach.  The route is defined by 
selection of an approach and the transition waypoints.
Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either “load” or “activate” \
is given.  “Loading” adds the 
approach to the end of the flight plan without immediately using it for na\
vigation guidance. This allows 
continued navigation via the intermediate waypoints in the original fl\
ight plan, but keeps the procedure 
available	 on	the	 Active	 Flight	Plan	Page	 for	quick	 activation	 when	needed.	 “Activating”	 also	adds	 the	
procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately begins to provide guidance to the first waypoint in 
the approach.
When selecting an approach, a “GPS” designation to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure 
can be flown using the GPS receiver.  Some procedures do not have this designation, meaning the GPS 
receiver can be used for supplemental navigation guidance only.  If the GPS receiver cannot be used for 
primary guidance, the appropriate navigation receiver must be used for the selected approach (e.g., VOR or 
ILS).  The final course segment of ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the NAV receiver to 
the	proper	frequency	and	selecting	that	NAV	receiver	on	the	CDI.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
The G1000 SBAS GPS allows for flying LNAV, LNAV/VNAV, and LPV approaches according to the published 
chart.  LNAV+V is a standard LNAV approach with advisory vertical guidance provided for assistance in 
maintaining a constant vertical glidepath similar to an ILS glideslope o\
n approach. This guidance is displayed 
on the G1000 PFD in the same location as the ILS glideslope using a mage\
nta diamond. In all cases where 
LNAV+V is indicated by the system during an approach, LNAV minima are used.  The active approach type 
is annunciated on the HSI as shown in the following table:

MISSED APPROACH
Activating a missed approach in the active flight plan:
1) Press the PROC Key.
2) Turn the FMS Knob to highlight ‘ACTIVATE MISSED APPROACH’.
3) Press the ENT Key.  The aircraft automatically sequences to the MAHP.
 Or:
    
Press the Go-Around Button.
COURSE TO ALTITUDE
In	this	 missed	 approach	 procedure,	 the	altitude	 immediately	 following	the	MAP	 (in	this	 case	 ‘6368ft’)	 is	
not part of the published procedure. It is simply a Course to Altitude (CA) leg which guides the aircraft along 
the	runway	 centerline	 until	the	altitude	 required	 to	safely	 make	the	first	 turn	 toward	 the	MAHP	 is	exceeded.	
This	 altitude	 is	provided	 by	Jeppesen,	 and	may	 be	below,	 equal	to,	or	above	 the	published	 minimums	 for	
this approach.  In this case, if the aircraft altitude is below the specified altitude (6,368 feet) after crossing 
the MAP, a direct-to is established to provide a course on runway heading until an altitude of 6,368 feet is 
reached. After reaching 6,368 feet, a direct-to is established to the published MAHP (in this case MOGAL). 
If the aircraft altitude is above the specified altitude after crossing the MAP, a direct-to is established to the 
published fix (MOGAL) to begin the missed approach procedure.
In some missed approach procedures this Course to Altitude leg may be part of the published procedure. 
For example, a procedure may dictate a climb to 5,500 feet, then turn left and proceed to the Missed Approach 
Hold	Point	 (MAHP).	 In	this	 case,	 the	altitude	 would	appear	 in	the	 list	of	waypoints	 as	‘5500ft’.	 Again,	if	the	
aircraft altitude is lower than the prescribed altitude, a direct-to is established on a Course to Altitude leg 
when the missed approach procedure is activated.

5.9 TRIP PLANNING
The G1000 allows the pilot to view trip planning information, fuel information, and other information for 
a specified flight plan or flight plan leg based on automatic data, or based on manually entered data.  Weight 
planning is also available, based on fuel sensor data and the active fl\
ight plan (to estimate remaining fuel).
TRIP PLANNING
All of the input of data needed for calculation and viewing of the stati\
stics is done on the Trip Planning Page 
located	in	the	AUX	Page	Group.

The trip planning inputs are based on sensor inputs (automatic page mode) or on pilot inputs (manual page 
mode).  Some additional explanation of the sources for some of the inputs is as follows:
•	Departure time (DEP TIME) -  This defaults to the current time in automatic page mode.  The computations 
are from the aircraft present position, so the aircraft is always just departing.  
						

							Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Socata TBM 850190-00709-04  Rev. A266
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
•	Calibrated airspeed (CALIBRATED AS) -  The primary source is from the air data system, and the secondary 
source of information is GPS ground speed.  
•	Indicated altitude (IND ALTITUDE) - The primary source is the barometric altitude, and the secondary source 
of information is GPS altitude. 
TRIP STATISTICS
The trip statistics are calculated based on the selected starting and ending waypoints and the\
 trip planning 
inputs.  
In flight plan mode (FPL) with a stored flight plan selected (NN), and the entire flight plan (CUM) selected, 
the waypoints are the starting and ending waypoints of the selected flight plan.
In flight plan mode (FPL) with a stored flight plan selected (NN), and a specific leg (NN) selected, \
the 
waypoints are the endpoints of the selected leg.
In flight plan mode (FPL) with the active flight plan selected (0\
0), and the remaining flight plan (REM) 
selected,	the	‘from’	 waypoint	 is	the	 present	 position	 of	the	 aircraft	 and	the	‘to’	waypoint	 is	the	 endpoint	 of	the	
active flight plan.
In flight plan mode (FPL) with the active flight plan selected (0\
0), and a specific leg (NN) selected, the 
‘from’	waypoint	is	the	current	aircraft	position	and	the	‘to’	waypoint	is	the	endpoint	of	the	selected	leg.
In waypoint (WPTS) mode these are manually selected waypoints (if there is an active flight plan, these 
default to the endpoints of the active leg).
Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the active flight plan has already 
been flown.
•	 Desired	 Track	(DTK)	 -		DTK	 is	shown	 as	nnn°	 and	is	the	 desired	 track	between	 the	selected	 waypoints.		
It is dashed unless only a single leg is selected.
•	 Distance	(DIS)	-		The	distance	is	shown	in	tenths	of	units	up	to	99.9,	and	in	whole	units	up	to	9999.		
•	 Estimated	 time	enroute	 (ETE)	-		ETE	 is	shown	 as	hours:minutes	 until	less	than	 an	hour,	 then	it	is	 shown	
as minutes:seconds.  
•	 Estimated	 time	of	arrival	 (ETA)	-	 	ETA	 is	shown	 as	hours:minutes	 and	is	the	 local	 time	at	the	
destination.  
- If in waypoint mode then the ETA is the ETE added to the departure time.
- If a flight plan other than the active flight plan is selected it sh\
ows the ETA by adding to the departure 
time all of the ETEs of the legs up to the selected leg.  If the entire flight plan is selected, then the ETA 
is calculated as if the last leg of the flight plan was selected.
- If the active flight plan is selected the ETA reflects the current position of the aircraft and the current 
leg being flown.  The ETA is calculated by adding to the current time the ETEs of the current leg up to 
and including the selected leg.  If the entire flight plan is selected, then the ETA is calculated as if the 
last leg of the flight plan was selected.  
•	 Enroute	safe	altitude	(ESA)	-		The	ESA	is	shown	as	nnnnnFT
•	 Destination	sunrise and sunset times (SUNRISE, SUNSET) -  These times are shown as hours:minutes 
and are the local time at the destination.
