WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
The Garmin G900X, as installed in this aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity.
WARNING:
However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable
system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur
without a fault indication shown by the G900X. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an
occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsible
WARNING:
for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy
and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G900X utilize GPS as a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G900X can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G900X
WARNING:
Pilot's Guide documentation and the G900X Integrated Avionics System in the Airplane Flight Manual.
Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications
from the G900X to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the G900X to attempt to penetrate

Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding "by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an
intense radar echo."

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.
