Terrain Awareness
7.2 Database Limitations
NOTE
Garmin cross-validates terrain and obstacle data in accordance with
TSO-C151c. However, the information should never be considered
all-inclusive. Database inaccuracies or omissions may exist.
Terrain and obstacle data are not available when the aircraft is operating outside of
the installed database coverage area.
Garmin obtains terrain and obstacle data from government sources and cannot
independently verify the accuracy and completeness of the information. Pilots must
familiarize themselves with the appropriate charts and other data for safe flight.
[1] HOT lines are power lines that share location with other obstacles identified by the FAA.
