30
Q

How many electric cooling fans are there and what is their purpose?

A

Four electric cooling fans for cooling G1000 components

They operate when the Electric Master and Avionics switches are turned on.

31
Q

What happens if a cooling fan fails in the system?

A

Displays PFD FAN FAIL, MFD FAN FAIL, or GIA FAN FAIL message

Overheating can lead to automatic shutdown of affected components.

32
Q

Fill in the blank: The GIA cooling fan is located _______.

A

In the rear avionics rack

33
Q

True or False: The GRS77 AHRS uses only mechanical sensors to determine the aircraft’s orientation.

A

False

The GRS77 uses solid-state accelerometers, tilt sensors, and rate sensors.

34
Q

What should be avoided when loading baggage in relation to the rear avionics fan?

A

Obstructing the air intakes

This can lead to cooling issues and potential component failure.
