Page 5: Limited Warranty
Garmin retains the exclusive right to repair or replace the unit or software, or to offer a full refund of the purchase price, at its sole discretion.
Page 6 Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the G950. 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.
Page 7 The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G950 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G950 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Page 8 All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G950 panel and NOTE: displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current G950 system. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

Page 13: Section 1 System Overview
SYSTEM OVERVIEW SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The G950 Integrated Flight Deck System presents flight instrumentation, position, navigation, communication, and identification information to the pilot using flat-panel color displays. The system is distributed across the following Line Replaceable Units (LRUs): • GDU 1040 Primary Flight Display (PFD) • GDC 74A Air Data Computer (ADC)
Page 14: Line Replaceable Units
LRUs with the on-side display. Each IAU contains a GPS WAAS receiver, VHF COM/NAV/GS receivers, and system integration microprocessors, and is paired with the on-side display via HSDB connection. The IAUs are not paired together and do not communicate with each other directly. Garmin G950 Pilot’s Guide for the Tecnam P2006T 190-01146-00 Rev. A...
Page 15 • GDC 74A (1) – The Air Data Computer (ADC) processes data from the pitot/static system and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor. The ADC provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G950 System, and it communicates with the primary IAU, displays, and AHRS using an ARINC 429 digital interface.

NOTE: The PFD and MFD data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the upper right side of the display bezels.
Page 19: System Power-Up
Refer to Appendix A for system-specific annunciations and alerts. NOTE: The G950 System is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical busses. The PFD, MFD, and supporting sub-systems include both power-on and continuous built-in test features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs, and outputs to provide safe operation.
Page 20: System Operation
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.4 SYSTEM OPERATION The G950 system alerts the pilot when backup paths are utilized by the LRUs. Refer to the Appendices NOTE: for further information regarding system-specific alerts. The displays are connected together via a single Ethernet bus for high-speed communication. As shown in Figure 1-1, each IAU is connected to the on-side display.
Page 21: G950 System Annunciations
(Figure 1-10 displays all possible flags and responsible LRUs). Upon G950 power-up, certain instruments remain invalid as equipment begins to initialize. All instruments should be operational within one minute of power-up. If any instrument remains flagged, the G950 should be serviced by a Garmin-authorized repair facility.

Page 334 Also, the active flight plan is overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans with an approach, a departure, or an arrival, the G950 uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the G950 System automatically updates the information, provided the procedure has not been modified.
Page 335 APPENDIX D When OBS mode is active, the G950 allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a waypoint using the CRS/BARO Knob and HSI (much like a VOR). The most common application for using the OBS Softkey is the missed approach. The G950 suspends automatic waypoint sequencing (indicated by a ‘SUSP’...
Page 336 (MAP). If an attempt to do so is made, an alert message “Are you sure you want to discontinue the current approach?” appears. The G950 directs the pilot back to the transition waypoint and does not take into consideration any missed approach procedures, if the current approach is reactivated.
Page 337: General Tis Information
The TIS ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification. The G950 System displays TIS traffic information on the Traffic Map Page of the MFD. TIS information may also be displayed for overlay on the MFD Navigation Map Page, as well as on the PFD Inset Map.
Page 338 APPENDIX E Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations WARNING: is the responsibility of the FAA. Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep.
