1.7 VERTICAL NAVIGATION
One of two altitude sources is used by the G1000 when
giving vertical navigation guidance. WAAS GPS altitude is
used when giving guidance for a WAAS approach. Baro
corrected altitude is used when vertical guidance is given
in all other situations.
The G1000 system can use altitude constraints
associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for
vertical navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the
specific instance, entered by the pilot or retrieved from the
published altitudes in the navigation database.
The navigation database only contains altitudes
for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes. If the
procedure states “Expect to cross at,” the altitude is not be
in the database. In this case the altitude may be entered
manually.
NOTE: All arrival procedure altitudes contained in
the navigation database are for turbojet aircraft only.
Alter or enter altitudes as desired to comply with the
ATC clearance.
When activating or loading an arrival or approach
procedure into an active flight plan, the VNV ‘ALT’ fields
are populated with any altitudes that can be retrieved
from the navigation database.
Since altitudes loaded with an arrival procedure are
published only for turbojet aircraft, the altitudes are
displayed as white text indicating that the altitudes are
displayed for reference only. An arrival waypoint altitude
may be used (or “designated”) as is, or changed to a
different altitude. An altitude is designated by pressing
the FMS Knob and turning the large FMS Knob to place
the cursor on the desired altitude and pressing the ENT
Key or entering a different value and pressing the ENT
Key. The altitude is now displayed as blue text, indicating
that the altitude is now designated to give vertical speed
and deviation guidance.
Approach waypoint altitude constraints are designated
in the same way as previously described for arrivals.
These altitudes are also displayed as blue text after being
designated for use. Waypoint altitude constraints may
be designated up to, but not including the FAF. The
FAF is always a “reference only” altitude and cannot be
designated, unless the selected approach does not provide
vertical guidance. In this case, the FAF altitude can be
designated.
