Always read and understand the handbook before operation, and never rely only on the
GPS. The software maps or data may be out of date, or it may simply fail. The safe way is
to plan to use a chart and compass as primary navigation tools, and GPS as a backup.
Some GPS units and antennas emit magnetic fields that vary with respect to time and/or
levels of battery charge. These may change your compass deviations, so always cross
check between the compass headings with your GPS installed and placard accordingly if
required.
The installation of further devices is possible, but the operator must be aware that this
increases the unloaded weight and current draw on the engine, and may require CAA
Approval.
Note that the avionics fitted to the Calidus aircraft are an approved package – modification
or other installations require CAA/RSUK approval.
