or damage to the environment.
WARNING
IF, AFTER REPEATED SAMPLING, EVIDENCE OF CONTAMINATION
STILL EXISTS, THE AIRPLANE SHOULD NOT BE FLOWN. TANKS
SHOULD BE DRAINED AND SYSTEM PURGED BY QUALIFIED
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. ALL EVIDENCE OF CONTAMINATION
MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT.

Preflight Inspection (Continued)
Nose
1. Static Source Opening (right side of fuselage) - CHECK (verify opening is clear)
2. Fuel Strainer Quick Drain Valve (located on lower right side of engine cowling) - DRAIN
Drain at least a cupful of fuel (using sampler cup) from valve to check for water, sediment, and
proper fuel grade before each flight and after each refueling. If water is observed, take further
samples until clear and then gently rock wings and lower tail to the ground to move any
additional contaminants to the sampling points. Take repeated samples from all fuel drain
points, including the fuel return line and fuel selector, until all contamination has been removed.
If contaminants are still present, refer to WARNING below and do not fly the airplane.

ground to move any additional contaminants to the sampling points. Take repeated samples
from all fuel drain points until all contamination has been removed. If contaminants are still
present, refer to WARNING below and do not fly airplane.

27. CDI Softkey - SELECT NAV SOURCE
CAUTION
THE G1000 HSI SHOWS A COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR FOR THE SELECTED GPS,
NAV 1 OR NAV 2 NAVIGATION SOURCE. THE G1000 HSI DOES NOT PROVIDE A
WARNING FLAG WHEN A VALID NAVIGATION SIGNAL IS NOT BEING SUPPLIED TO THE
INDICATOR. WHEN A VALID NAVIGATION SIGNAL IS NOT BEING SUPPLIED, THE COURSE
DEVIATION BAR (D-BAR) PART OF THE INDICATOR IS NOT SHOWN ON THE HSI
COMPASS CARD. THE MISSING D-BAR IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE WARNING FLAG.
WARNING
WHEN THE AUTOPILOT IS ENGAGED IN NAV, APR OR BC OPERA-
TING MODES, IF THE HSI NAVIGATION SOURCE IS CHANGED
MANUALLY, USING THE CDI SOFTKEY, THE CHANGE WILL INTERRUPT
THE NAVIGATION SIGNAL TO THE AUTOPILOT AND WILL CAUSE
THE AUTOPILOT TO REVERT TO ROL MODE OPERATION. NO AURAL
ALERT WILL BE PROVIDED. IN ROL MODE, THE AUTOPILOT WILL
ONLY KEEP THE WINGS LEVEL AND WILL NOT CORRECT THE
AIRPLANE HEADING OR COURSE. SET THE HDG BUG TO THE
