Exercise 3.1: System Initialization
1. Is the aircraft required to remain stationary while the AHRS and ADC align?
2. Is there any warm-up time required for the engine instrumentation to be accurate?
3. What is the pilot action that should be taken if the MFD system self-test does not pass?
4. Where can you verify the effective dates of the Jeppesen database during the initial system start-up?
5. If the Jeppesen database is not current in the G1000, can the system still be used for IFR flight?
6. You are planning a flight to KAPA (Centennial Airport, Denver, CO) from KCOU (Columbia, MO). When you arrive at
the aircraft, you notice that the Jeppesen database data is out of date by 3 cycles (84 days).
