Important Safety And Product Information - Garmin aera 660 Quick Reference Manual

Important Safety and Product Information

Refer to the applicable Pilot's Guide and Installation Manual (available at www.garmin.com) for complete
operating and installation procedures.
The information provided in this document may not apply to all system configurations. It is the responsibility
of the Pilot to consult the appropriate Pilot's Guide in determining applicability of the safety information to
their specific configuration.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES
WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the
use of the terrain function. The 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 the GPS and GLONASS receivers is geometric
height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed
by pressure altimeters.
WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used 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using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.
2
WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary
navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation
data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision
avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance
resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve
the pilot's responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately
depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor
signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations,
traffic may be present that is not represented on the display.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near
or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link
weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine
the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due
to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link
transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product
may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.
