(2007) Service Advisory 0701 Rev A: Multiple Initial Approach Fixes in the Transition List

The G1000 system provides a list of available transitions when loading an instrument procedure to a flight plan. The transition list contains a choice of vectors, published transitions, and initial approach fixes (IAF).

In rare cases, the list contains two IAFs with the same identifier. This may occur when two transitions with dissimilar altitudes share a common IAF, but may also result from two transitions which result in different paths taken at the same IAF. The latter case can be caused by different holding pattern entries or other instances where two transitions contain the same IAF waypoint but have subsequently different paths.

DISPOSITION

It is important to be aware of and understand the issue and the guidance provided in this service advisory when/if this condition presents itself during the process of loading an approach procedure into the flight plan.

APPROVAL

Information contained in the advisory does not affect the airworthiness of the G1000.

PRODUCT AFFECTED

All G1000 GDU Software Versions 8.00 and earlier
