Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING:
Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated
upon the use of the terrain function. The G300 Terrain Proximity feature
is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance
and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of
surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used
as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications
requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained
from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the
accuracy of the terrain data.
WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only
advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of
obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current
aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING:
The altitude calculated by G300 GPS receivers is geometric
height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the
altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude
displayed by the G300 PFD when determining or selecting aircraft
altitude.
WARNING:
Do not use outdated database information. Databases used
in the G300 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that
the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do
so entirely at their own risk.
WARNING: XM WX Satellite Weather should not be used for hazardous
weather penetration. Weather information is approved only for weather
avoidance, not penetration.
WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning
purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the
relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for
short-range weather avoidance.
