ADDITIONAL FEATURES
SECTION 8 ADDITIONAL FEATURES
NOTE: The availability of SafeTaxi, ChartView, or FliteCharts in electronic form does not preclude the requirement to carry paper charts aboard the aircraft. See AC 120-76A for more information.
Additional features of the G1000 include SafeTaxi™ diagrams, ChartView and FliteCharts™ electronic charts, and XM Radio entertainment.
SafeTaxi diagrams provide detailed taxiway, runway, and ramp information at more than 700 airports in the United States. By zooming in on an airport that has a SafeTaxi diagram available, a close up view of the airport layout can be seen.
The optional ChartView and FliteCharts provide on-board electronic terminal procedures charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be configured in the system, but not both.
The optional XM Radio entertainment audio feature of the GDL 69A Data Link Receiver offers more than 170 channels of music, news, and sports. XM Radio offers more entertainment choices and longer range coverage than commercial broadcast stations.
8.1 SAFETAXI
SafeTaxi is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail when zooming in on airports at close range. The maximum map ranges for enhanced detail are pilot configurable. When zoomed in close enough to show the airport detail, the map reveals runways with numbers, taxiways with identifying letters/numbers, and airport landmarks including ramps, buildings, control towers, and other prominent features. Resolution is greater at lower map ranges. When the aircraft location is within the screen boundary, including within SafeTaxi ranges, an airplane symbol is shown on any of the navigation map views for enhanced position awareness.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Any map page that displays the navigation view can also show the SafeTaxi airport layout within the maximum configured range. The following is a list of pages where the SafeTaxi feature can be seen:
• Navigation Map Page |
• NDB Information Page |
• Inset Map (PFD) |
• VOR Information Page |
• Weather Datalink Page |
• User Waypoint Information Page |
• Airport Information Page |
• Trip Planning Page |
• Intersection Information Page |
• Nearest Pages |
During ground operations the aircraft’s position is displayed in reference to taxiways, runways, and airport features. In the example shown in Figure 8-1, the aircraft is on Taxiway Delta approaching the beginning of runway 34.

The DCLTR Softkey (declutter) label advances to DCLTR-1, DCLTR -2, and DCLTR-3 each time the softkey is pressed for easy recognition of the current level of decluttering. Pressing the DCLTR Softkey removes the taxiway markings and airport identification labels. Pressing the DCLTR-1 Softkey removes VOR station ID, the VOR symbol, and intersection names if within the airport plan view. Pressing the DCLTR-2 Softkey removes the airport runway layout, unless the airport in view is part of an active route structure. Pressing the DCLTR-3 Softkey cycles back to the original map detail. Refer to Map Declutter Levels in the GPS Navigation Section.

SAFETAXI CYCLE NUMBER AND REVISION
The SafeTaxi database is revised every 56 days. SafeTaxi is always available for use after the expiration date. When turning on the G1000, the Power-up Page indicates whether the databases are current, out of date, or not available. The Power-up Page shows the SafeTaxi database is current when the ‘SafeTaxi Expires’ date is shown in white. When the SafeTaxi cycle has expired, the ‘SafeTaxi Expires’ date appears in yellow. The message ‘SafeTaxi: N/A’ appears in white if no SafeTaxi data is available on the database card (Figure 8-4).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The SafeTaxi Region, Version, Cycle, Effective date, and Expires date of the database cycle can also be found on the AUX - System Status page. SafeTaxi information appears in blue and yellow text. The ‘EXPIRES’ date appears in blue when data is current and in yellow when expired (Figures 8-5 and 8-6). SafeTaxi ‘REGION NOT AVAILABLE’ appears in blue if SafeTaxi data is not available on the database card (Figure 8-6). Expired SafeTaxi data is never disabled.
Press the DBASE Softkey for scrolling through the database information. Scroll through the database with the FMS knob or ENT Key.
The SafeTaxi database cycle number shown in Figure 8-5, ‘07S1’ is broken down as follows: 07 – Indicates the year 2007
S – Indicates the data is for SafeTaxi
1 – Indicates the first issue of the SafeTaxi database for the year
The SafeTaxi ‘EFFECTIVE’ date ‘18–JAN–07’ is the beginning date for the current database cycle. SafeTaxi ‘EXPIRES’ date ‘15–MAR–07’ is the revision date for the next database cycle.
