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 When you arrive at the aircraft, you notice that the Jeppesen database data is out of date by 3 cycles (84 days).
