which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is
subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment. Although the GPS 12 is a precision electronic NAVigation
AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,

. To reduce the risk of unsafe opera-
tion, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Operator’s Manual
and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual
use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS 12 to all
available navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs,
visual sightings, maps, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
