There is no need to fill out paper form if going thru FSS or EFB application
AIM (International Flight Plan) guidance is being updated – standby for more changes.

13. Performance Based Nav No clear guidance provided in FOM or from CAP
Garmin does provide information on what G1000 system can do but each operator needs to determine if instillation will perform up to specifications in governing FAA Circulars
See Garmin slide for G1000 capabilities:

14. Performance Based Nav Garmin Warnings and Cautions:
In order to determine Part 91 operational approval for the capabilities found on the Garmin Flight Plan Information Excel File, you will need to access your AFMS, as well as the spreadsheet available for download below. This spreadsheet contains the specific FAA documentation that outlines the different RNAV and RNP capabilities, as well as what is required to conform to the requirements. In most cases, familiarity or an AMFS statement is all that is needed. Some cases require a Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. This information should be considered as a guide only, and is not guaranteed to be complete. It is up to the operator to determine if approval is required, to seek approval and to ensure compliance.
It should be noted that the information outlined on this page and contained in the links below regarding compliance with various Advisory Circulars (AC) are to be used for reference only. Since the capabilities of your avionics vary depending upon the installation, it is solely up to the aircraft operators to determine what certifications pertain to them. These certifications are outlined in your AFMS. Additionally, Letters of Authorization (LOA) may also be required to be in compliance with certain operations. The information below is only intended to provide general guidance to a user to determine the qualifications of their Garmin avionics. To the extent allowable by law, Garmin is not liable for any damages resulting from the aircraft operator’s failure to properly file a flight plan in the new ICAO or domestic flight plan format.
