Garmin G3000 Panel Avionics Unit Details
The Garmin G3000 in the Daher TBM 930 is built around redundancy. If PFD1 fails, the MFD switches to a full reversionary display and PFD2 goes to Split mode. If the MFD fails, PFD1 becomes reversionary. You can also force reversionary mode with the red DISPLAY BACKUP switch. If one touchscreen controller fails, the other one still controls its own PFD and the MFD. Sensor comparators flag disagreements between the two sensors, for example altitude differences greater than 200 ft or heading differences greater than 6°.
A guided initialization sequence takes the crew through four tasks: crew profile, flight plan, system tests, and weight and fuel. After those, the crew selects Accept Initialization. The weight and fuel page calculates zero-fuel weight, takeoff weight and estimated landing weight. Excess values are shown in amber. Trip Planning works in automatic or manual mode. It reports ETE, ETA, ESA, fuel efficiency, endurance, total range, density altitude and sunrise or sunset times for stored or active flight plans.
The Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP) system only works above 200 ft AGL with the autopilot disengaged. It starts to push back at 45° of bank, at +20°/−22° of pitch, or above 268 kt IAS. If ESP stays active for more than 10 seconds within a 20-second window, the system engages the autopilot in LVL mode. In Emergency Descent Mode, the autopilot descends at 255 KIAS, turns 90° to the left, and levels off at 15,000 ft whenever cabin altitude gets too high.
For situational awareness, the system combines several weather sources: SiriusXM, FIS-B, Iridium-based Connext, the WX-500 Stormscope and the onboard radar. Each data product shows its age, which turns amber as it approaches expiration. Terrain protection comes as Terrain-SVT or TAWS-B, with callouts such as "Pull Up", "Sink Rate", "Don't Sink" and "Five-Hundred". SurfaceWatch warns about taxiway takeoffs and landings, runways that are too short, and remaining runway distance from 5,000 ft down to 100 ft.
VNAV builds vertical paths from barometric altitude, using constraints that are designated, advisory or entered by the pilot. Temperature compensation raises approach altitudes in cold weather; adjusted altitudes carry a snowflake icon. Electronic charts from Jeppesen ChartView or FliteCharts meet the Type B EFB requirements of AC 120-76D. The system also handles electronic checklists in .gcl format, PDF documents of up to 9,999 pages, Iridium voice calls, and SMS messages of up to 160 characters.
You can update the databases with SD cards or wirelessly. For wireless updates, the Flight Stream 510 connects to Garmin Pilot over Bluetooth and moves the files over WiFi using Database Concierge. Never cut power while a database is loading. Garmin recommends at least one power cycle for every 4 days of continuous operation, to avoid an autonomous restart. If GPS is lost, dead reckoning keeps guidance available for up to 20 minutes in en route and oceanic phases.
