WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
NOTE
:
The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the
following:
• It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information
related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System.
• Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases
obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs) by virtue of a
Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each database and can
be viewed at http://fly.garmin.com by selecting ‘Type 2 LOA Status.’
• Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established
FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may
be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established AFM(S) and
regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment.
NOTE
:
The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database exclusion list as discussed in
SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at www.
flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’
NOTE
:
The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their impact
on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting
‘Aviation Database Alerts.’
NOTE
:
If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support to coordinate
the revised DQRs.
NOTE:
Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These
discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes;
or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.
com and select ‘Report An Aviation Data Error Report.’
