Hey all. I've got one of the early G1000 Ovations that has the extra E.I. tachometer in the lower left portion of the panel. I've heard that this was required during early certification as the G1000 tach wasn't certified yet and this was the "official" tach. Don't know if that's true or not. At any rate, lately that E.I. tach has gone wonky on me, showing very radical readings both higher and lower than what the G1000 is showing, although usually within 10 minutes of flight it settles down. I suspect corrosion, which here in Florida seems to be my #1 culprit whenever I suspect electronic weirdness. So now my question: are there individual pickups for each tach in the system, or is there one pickup that is then split somewhere to feed both the E.I. and the G1000? In either case, where would I look for corrosion in the connection to the E.I.? Appreciate your thoughts...thanks! Jeff

No, the airplane I had at the time was a pre-G1000 M20M. On pre-G1000 M20M and M20R there was a circuit box that was behind the LED indicator displays that had a 1/4 amp pico fuse that would go out. This fuse fix doesn't apply to newer models (G1000). -
I have an Ovation 3 GX (G1000) and my flap indicator on the G1000 is acting up. When you say the fuse works on later Ovation models, did you mean the GX models? And where is the fuse located? I am only aware of the circuit breaker panel. Thank you. -
Retract Gear or Flaps First in a Go Around ?

I've noticed that, that the G5 VSI is pretty responsive compared to the air VSI instrument. I've adapted to using it more as it does seem pretty useful. I also fly G1000 aircraft and haven't really paid much attention to the responsiveness of the VSI in that system. I'll likely be more attentive to it just to see the difference. -
On the MFD of a first gen G1000 (year 2006), map chapter, weather page: can you change the orientation from north up to track up? If so, how?

Hi All, I think this is the right place to post. Looking to buy an old copy of a G1000 (non-NXi) PC trainer for an appropriate single (e.g. Cessna, Diamond, Bonanza, etc) that I can use to prep for flying a G1000 Acclaim. There is an NXi available and some used Mustang discs, but I'm worried they're too different. Thanks, David

2007 G1000 Ovation w/Dual Tachs, E.I. Tach Gone Wonky!
Jeff_S replied to Jeff_S's topic in Ovation Owners
Okay, my G1000 tach definitely shows the correct redline so that makes the E.I. redundant, which I suspected anyway. I may just remove it as well. Thanks! -
2007 G1000 Ovation w/Dual Tachs, E.I. Tach Gone Wonky!
buddy replied to Jeff_S's topic in Ovation Owners
If your G1000 now shows 2700 RPM as a red line on its tachometer then I don’t think you need the E.I. tachometer any more. I removed mine after a software update years ago. -
Hello, what all is needed to upgrade the old steam gauges to a GI275 on the G1000’s
-
Well, it is now done in the US as well. we got the flight stream working on my acclaim. Brian Kendrick has the only install in the US under his belt. I can’t wait to have this feature enabled in my g1000. It was the only thing I really missed from the NXI. This is great news!

It depends on the receiver. For years I subscribed to a Marine package on a Garmin 496 GPSMap for $9.99/mo. For a G1000 receiving on a GLD69A that won't work.
-
Hmmm . . I'm still paying $30 for XM on my G1000 and a trip I took from Texas to Minnesota and back over the past ten days that confirmed my reason for having it. It is so much better than ADS-B weather. What plan are you on that's $18?

Looking at Buying Unairworthy M20J for $45k
Pinecone replied to Ted_G's topic in General Mooney Talk
Let's see. The GNS-430 came out about 1998. They are still serviceable, except for the screens, and that has been only for the past couple of years. So based on that, you can realistically expect a shining new panel be maintainable for at least 25 years. The G1000 came out in 2004, and they are still making and installing them in new airplanes. But, I do agree with you that the older stuff will still work great for many owners. -
I have been searching all forums and only read "it's not possible". Now I have it in my Mooney and it is working like a charm.
-
If anyone does know of or finds a shop willing to overhaul them, please share. We swapped mine for a pulled known-good one and I still have the original. Not the exact one above, I think, but similar*. Tried a few places and no luck. Not sure if it's a liability thing or a numbers thing or what. Seems like it would be straightforward to do. * two switches, one for gear and one for pitot/stall heat level and I think the airtime indication to the G1000 and thus the Hobbs (last part is a guess).

Which remote Garmin ADSB to Legacy G1000
drstephensugiono posted a topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
Potentially buying 2007 Acclaim with a legacy G1000 and it has NO ADSB or WAAS. 1. Which quickest remote garmin system would you add to be ADSB compliant ? 2. GIA63W still the only way to WAAS? -
I had a medium-workload approach mid day today, and I found the FF display very cluttered and unhelpful. Just too much on one screen, and it just didn’t add anything. I’ll watch the video to see if I’m doing something wrong. I suppose I could turn off range rings and glide ring, and i had RNAV 14 CTL 6 selected as the approach which further clutters the screen. I'll keep trying to improve this. The flight plan page on G1000 resents this info much better for me. -dan

G1000 steam gauge upgraded to GI 275
dkkim73 replied to warrenehc's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
Has anyone managed that? The plane is certified with the G1000 but I suppose that doesn't mean you couldn't customize the panel and slide things around. One thing that might work without too much change is to replace the AI with a GI-275 and put a tiny 2nd AI over all the way on the left. Both pilots would have a backup and you keep the mechanical baro gauges. Here's a wacky question: if you had an EIA. GI-275, could it talk to the GEA1 and display info if the main displays went bad? -
G1000 steam gauge upgraded to GI 275
kortopates replied to warrenehc's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
He is referring to swapping the 3 backup instruments on the right side to a GI-275. I have a client that has done this very recently. They aren’t integrated with the G1000 so don’t think there is anything special required to do this and i think it’s a great upgrade. Will require some panel work as well.

G1000 steam gauge upgraded to GI 275
midlifeflyer replied to warrenehc's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
I don’t understand the reference to G1000. G1000 is an OEM product not available as a retrofit. the answer to what is needed to upgrade steam gauges to GI275 is, “money.” I obviously don’t understand what you are asking, what do you have in the panel now? -
G1000 steam gauge upgraded to GI 275
dkkim73 replied to warrenehc's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
Interested in this. I think you have a lot of leeway. I do like the redundancy of the altimeter and airspeed, non-electric. Replacing the electric AI with a GI 275 adds complexity, but both are electric, so... It's been hinted that the GI 275 could interface with the G1000 for extra functionality, but not clear what's "approved" by Garmin. -
I haven't flown a lot recently in areas with lower MEAs. Out in the west, the turbo means good climb rates all the way up, and easy compliance with MEAs and strategic dodging of icing layers. My plane does not have cooling issues where I've flown it so far (up to FL210), usually but not exclusively LOP. But I hear some variation in experience based on the engine, cooling baffle design, and ROP vs. LOP operations. In my mind, the turbos make it easier to manage power, at least with a good design and automatic wastegate. And, practically, you get full power (or whatever you select) higher up as opposed to letting ambient pressure set power for you. Aside: Your comment about fancy panel vs. TKS, I would also choose TKS. I love the fancy panel (G1000) but you can get a lot of the same SA with thoughtful selection of other avionics and a good tablet GPS (Garmin etc) or iPad.

Eventually, Garmin will end support for the G1000. My understanding is that the G1000 is part of the type certification for later Mooneys. Any idea what will happen when these systems reach end of life? -
After putting the flightstream 210 in my g1000, there is no avionic upgrade that I covet. the system is incredible.
-
Hmmm not quite. Ovation 2 GX is an Ovation 2 with the G1000.
