WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING:
The Perspective
™
has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize
that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical.
Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by
the Perspective
™
. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-
checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
WARNING:
For safety reasons, Perspective
™
operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
WARNING:
The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible
for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy
and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Perspective
™
utilize GPS as a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the Perspective
™
can
be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the
Perspective
™
Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook. Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the Perspective
™
to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts,
etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING :
The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the Perspective
™
to attempt to
penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical
Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe
or giving an intense radar echo.”
WARNING :

according to local, state, or federal laws. For more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/

WARNING:
Because of variations in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the system within the following
areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 72° North latitude at all
longitudes. South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes. North of 65° North latitude between longitude
75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W.
(Northern Canada). North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia).
South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New
Zealand).
