Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING:
Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of
information for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin
obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot inde-
pendently verify the accuracy of the information.
WARNING:
Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as
the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer
to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING:
Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified
as a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints
are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.
WARNING:
Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/
DH when flying an approach with vertical guidance. The autopilot will not
level the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude
preselect.
WARNING:
Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications
in the following geographic areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic
field): 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).
WARNING
: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situ-
ational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability
upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain,
obstacles, or traffic.
