Garmin G1000 flight data log — export & score every landing

1) Confirm logging is on

On the G1000, NXi, Perspective and G3000, logging is automatic — there's no toggle to flip, you just confirm it's recording:

1. With an SD card in the top card slot of the MFD, power up.
2. Turn the large FMS knob (lower-right of the bezel) to the AUX page group.
3. Turn the small FMS knob to the UTILITY page — the header reads AUX – UTILITY.
4. Read FLIGHT DATA LOGGING: “LOGGING DATA” means it's recording. “NO CARD” means reseat the card in the top MFD slot and recheck.

On the G3000 the controls are touchscreen: from Home on the GTC, tap Utilities for the same status.

2) Insert your SD card and fly

1. Use a standard full-size SD card, up to 32 GB, formatted FAT32. If it doesn't read, format it to FAT32.
2. Insert it into the top card slot of the MFD — wrong slot, no log.
3. Fly normally — the G1000 writes the whole flight on its own, one .csv each time you power up.

Need a card? A 32 GB SD card is plenty — one flight is a few hundred MB.

3) Offload and upload

1. After shutdown, remove the SD card from the top MFD slot.
2. Read it (below) and open the data_log folder — one .csv per flight, named log_YYMMDD_HHMMSS_IDENT.csv (each power-cycle writes its own).

Upload at landing.fyi →

Grab every log_*.csv file from the SD card and upload them all at once — landing.fyi scores each flight and quietly ignores any duplicates, so it's safe to select the lot.
