ATP Library and in ForeFlight Documents.
Standby Instruments
Cessna 172s equipped with the G1000 also have three standby flight instruments
for use in case of G1000 component failures. A conventional airspeed indicator
and altimeter are connected to the pitot-static system (note that blockages of
the pitot tube or static port will affect both the standby instruments and the
G1000). A gyroscopic attitude indicator is powered by an engine-driven vacuum
pump. Heading information is available from the magnetic compass. (There is no
backup source of rate of turn or rate of climb information.)
NOTE: The standby flight instruments are designed to allow the
pilot to safely exit instrument conditions and land the airplane in
the event of instrumentation or electrical failures. They are not a
replacement for the primary instrument displays on the G1000. If
use of the standby instruments is required, exit IMC and land as
soon as possible.
