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 independently verify the
accuracy of the information.
WARNING
Do not rely solely upon Terrain Proximity data for terrain avoidance.
Terrain Proximity is not a certified terrain awareness system. It is an aid to
situational awareness only. Using Terrain Proximity data does not under any
circumstances or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid
terrain or obstacles.
WARNING
Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance. TAWS
is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
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
Never use GPS altitude for vertical navigation, traffic avoidance, or compliance
with any air traffic control clearance. The altitude calculated by GPS receivers is
geometric height above Mean Sea Level and may vary significantly from the
altitude displayed on the primary barometric altimeter. The barometric
altimeter must be used to comply with all air traffic control clearances.
WARNING
Do not rely solely on VNAV guidance when navigating horizontally and
vertically around user-defined airports. It is the pilot's responsibility to ensure
separation from terrain and obstacles during an approach to a user-defined
airport.
WARNING
Never use expired databases. Update databases regularly to ensure currency.
Use out of date database information at your own risk.
