7.4 GEA 71 Engine/Airframe Unit
Original GEA 71 Reinstalled
No software or configuration loading is required if the removed GEA 71 is re-installed. This does not
include units that were returned for repair as their software and configuration files are deleted during the
repair testing process. Continue to the GEA 71 test Section 7.4.2 if the original unit with no repairs was
reinstalled. Continue to section 7.4.1 for repaired or exchanged units.
New, Repaired, or Exchanged GEA 71 Installed
If a new, repaired, or exchanged GEA 71 is installed, the correct software and configuration files must be
loaded to the unit. Continue to the software and configuration loading procedure.
7.4.1 GEA Software and Configuration File Loading
If a new, repaired or exchanged GEA is installed the correct software and configuration files must be
loaded. Follow the procedure below to load the files.
1. Remove the bottom SD cards from the displays. Note which one was removed from the MFD so
it may be identified later for reinsertion in the MFD when software and configuration loading are
complete. It might contain a FliteChart® or ChartView database which is only used in the MFD.
2. Insert the correct G1000 software loader card that matches the existing G1000 system software
version in the PFD top card slot.
3. Start the displays in configuration mode.
4. On the PFD, go to the System Upload Page using the small FMS knob.
5. Push the FMS knob to activate the cursor, then rotate the small FMS knob to display a drop-down
menu in the AIRFRAME field. Turn the small FMS knob to highlight the correct airframe model
(DA40 or DA40 F) in the menu and press the ENT key.
6. Once an airframe type is selected the cursor moves to the FILE field. Rotate the small FMS knob
to active the drop-down menu. Move the cursor to highlight the appropriate GIA63 model
(WAAS or non-WAAS) and press ENT.
7. Press the CLR ALL softkey.
8. Using the FMS knob and ENT key, select the following files:
• GEA – software and configuration files
9. Once the files are selected press the LOAD softkey.
10. When the upload is complete, press the ENT key to select OK in the upload complete window.
11. Verify that each column indicates in green when the loading process has finished and
inspect the SUMMARY window as well to ensure that the load is successful.
12. Load the optional configuration files for optional equipment (i.e. extended fuel tanks, etc.) that
list GEA files in the PRODUCT window for them. Refer to the LRU to Configuration File
Relationship Summary Table in Section 3 to determine which option files need to be loaded for
the GEA replacement based on the installed optional equipment in the aircraft. These must be
loaded in order for the optional equipment to function correctly.
13. After the software and configuration files are loaded, turn off the system and remove the G1000
system software loader card. Reinsert the supplemental database cards in the bottom slot of each
display. Be sure to insert the card removed from the MFD back into the MFD.
14. Continue to the GEA 71 Testing section.
