AHRS Failure

ADC Failure

AHRS Modes

The AHRS uses GPS, magnetometer, and air data to assist in attitude/heading

calculations, in addition to the data from its internal sensors. Loss of this

external data can affect the availability of attitude and heading information,

even if the AHRS itself is functional. Either GPS or air data must be available for

the AHRS to provide attitude information. Additionally, loss of magnetometer

data will result in invalid heading information.

NOTE: If the AHRS cannot provide valid heading information,

the course pointer on the HSI will point straight up, effectively

converting it into a standard, fixed-card course deviation

indicator. As a result, pilots can still perform partial-panel

instrument approach procedures following an AHRS failure.

Cross-reference between heading information from the magnetic

compass and course information from the PFD.

Display Failures

If either display fails, the G1000 should automatically enter reversionary mode,

in which important flight information is presented in a condensed format on

the remaining display(s). Reversionary mode can also be activated manually by

pressing the red DISPLAY BACKUP button on the audio panel. Engine Indication

System readings appear on the left edge of the screen, and the inset map

appears at lower right.
