Partial Panel Garmin 1000 and Approach Checklist?

Does anyone know of or where I could get my hands on info regarding partial panel in the Garmin 1000 system? Is there anyway to fail particular instruments on the display, or just the entire PFD or MFD?

None of the materials that came with the plane address this issue for training, other than backup display mode and standby instruments.

Also, has anyone developed a good checklist or flow for approaches? I always seem to forget to turn on the marker beacons in this plane since everything else is so automated.

Thanks for any help.

Which flow did you use on steam gauges?

That might be a good place to start . . .

Here is one that I made/use. While it is formed training in a C172SP I would think you could adapt it as needed.

mtsu_av8er usually I use the comm stack for my flow to make sure the navs (TIT), comms and marker beacons are set correctly. To do the same in the G1000 is difficult because you can't always check the nav frequencies and final app course because they are automatically loaded into the system as you progress through your flight plan.

Thanks for the PDF Aloft and the checklist Jep. They will both come in handy tomorrow. They are exactly what I was looking for.

You can still identify frequencies manually by selecting the appropriate nav radio on the intercomm stack. If the flight plan is sequencing through Nav1, you could also tune the next frequencies to be used into Nav2 for prior identification. Moreover, Garmin makes things really easy with the automatic ID function incorporated into the G-1000 unit. Each freqency is automatically identified when activated, and the corresponding letters appear next to the frequency.

Although the new electronic gadgets are highly accurate, always keep a paper chart handy. It has freqencies and courses for every approach segment, regardless of what the GPS unit thinks is necessary.
 
Yes you are correct. In my mind, it is a must that you have paper backup for all the charts. In fact, on our return flight from the factory we had our paper charts out the whole time. Sometimes it is just easier to be able flip the chart over and look at the next area, rather than scrolling around on the moving map with the cursor. You can view some of the photos from our flight here: http://jetcareers.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=329595&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

The auto ID feature is very helpful and gives you extra time to worry about other important things during IFR flight. You can still listen to the ID manually if you feel the need.
