[. . . ] Integrated Flight Deck Cockpit Reference Guide Piper PA32 Copyright © 2004-2007 Garmin Ltd. This manual reflects the operation of System Software version 0648. 02 or later for the Piper PA32. Some differences in operation may be observed when comparing the information in this manual to earlier or later software versions.

Turn the large FMS Knob to select the desired selection field, then turn the small FMS Knob to enter the desired value. Note the information now displayed in the `CURRENT VNV PROFILE' box. Also, note the offset waypoint and gray circle are now displayed on the map. In this example, vertical guidance will be provided at the TOD that will result in a -3. 0 degree FPA descent to an altitude of 10, 000 feet upon reaching the offset waypoint. Note the target vertical speed required to reached the selected altitude. The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) and the Required Vertical Speed Indicator (RVSI) are now displayed on the PFD as shown in Figure 7-39. Figure 7-38 Approaching Top of Descent (TOD) Target Altitude Figure 7-37 Adjusting the Descent Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) c) Press the ENT Key. Required Vertical Speed Indicator (RVSI) Figure 7-39 VDI & RVSI Upon Reaching Top of Descent (TOD) 7-16 Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA32 SECTION 7 ­ NAVIGATION 16) Upon reaching TOD, a descent vertical speed is established which places the VSI pointer in line with the RVSI as shown in Figure 7-40. The upcoming turn and next heading will be annunciated at the top left of the PFD as seen in Figure 7-42. Initiate the turn and maneuver the aircraft on a track through the turn radius to intercept the magenta line for the OPSHN to FSHER leg and center the CDI. Keep Vertical Deviation Pointer Centered Align Actual Vertical Speed with Required Vertical Speed Figure 7-40 VDI & RVSI Showing Correctly Established Descent 17) When the aircraft is one minute from the bottom of descent (BOD) this will be annunciated as shown in Figure 7-41. Upon reaching the offset waypoint for OPSHN, the aircraft will be at 10, 000 feet. Figure 7-42 Turn to intercept OPSHN to FSHER Leg Figure 7-41 Approaching Bottom of Descent (BOD) at OPSHN Offset Waypoint Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA32 7-17 SECTION 7 ­ NAVIGATION 19) After passing OPSHN, the next leg of the arrival will turn magenta as shown in Figure 7-43. The magenta arrow in the flight plan list now indicates the OPSHN to FSHER leg of the arrival procedure is now active. Figure 7-43 Tracking the OPSHN to FSHER Leg 20) The flight continues through the arrival procedure to PYNON (see Figure 7-44). At a point 31 nautical miles from the destination airport, the phase of flight scaling for the CDI will change to Terminal Mode and is annunciated by displaying `TERM' on the HSI. Annunciations for the upcoming turn and descent, as well as the VDI and RVSI, appear on the PFD as the flight progresses. Figure 7-44 Approaching PYNON 7-18 Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA32 SECTION 7 ­ NAVIGATION 21) Upon passing PYNON the approach procedure will automatically become active. The approach may be activated at any point to proceed directly to the IAF. In this example, the aircraft has progressed through the final waypoint of the arrival and the flight plan has automatically sequenced to the IAF as the active leg, activating the approach procedure (see Figure 7-45). At the TOD, establish a descent vertical speed as previously discussed in Step 16. The aircraft altitude will be 9, 000 feet upon reaching HABUK. Figure 7-45 Approach Leg is Now Active To manually activate the approach procedure, perform the following steps: a) Press the PROC Key. b) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight `ACTIVATE APPROACH' as shown in Figure 7-46. Figure 7-47 Descending Turn to the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) Figure 7-46 Activate Missed Approach c) Press the ENT Key to activate the approach. Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper PA32 7-19 SECTION 7 ­ NAVIGATION 23) After crossing FALUR the next waypoint is the FAF. The flight phase changes to LPV on the HSI indicating the current phase of flight is in Approach Mode and the approach type is LPV. CDI scaling changes accordingly and is used much like a localizer when flying an ILS approach. The RVSI is no longer displayed and the VDI changes to the Glidepath Indicator (as shown in Figure 7-48) when the final approach course becomes active. The descent continues through the FAF (CEGIX) using the Glidepath Indicator, as one would use a glideslope indicator, to obtain an altitude "AT" 7, 800 feet at the FAF. [. . . ] LOCKED FPL ­ Cannot navigate This occurs when the pilot attempts to activate a stored flight plan that contains locked flight plan. WPT ARRIVAL ­ Arriving at waypoint Arriving at waypoint [xxxx], where [xxxx] is the waypoint name. ARSPC AHEAD ­ Airspace ahead less Special use airspace is ahead of aircraft. ARSPC NEAR ­ Airspace near and Special use airspace is near and ahead of the aircraft position. [. . . ]
