WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING:
Do not operate this equipment without first obtaining qualified instruction.
WARNING:
Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for verification of displayed aeronautical
information. Displayed aeronautical data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information.
WARNING:
Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic control altitude requirements. The
primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations,
requirements, instructions, and clearances.
WARNING:
Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the sole means of navigation.
Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be
considered only an aid to enhance situational awareness.
WARNING:
Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic
within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information
from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display.
WARNING:
Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of
hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict
current weather conditions.
WARNING:
Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather
information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing
weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product
may be older than the indicated weather product age.
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 independently 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.
