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
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. THE ALTITUDE CALCULATED
BY GPS RECEIVERS IS GEOMETRIC HEIGHT ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL AND COULD VARY
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE ALTITUDE DISPLAYED BY PRESSURE ALTIMETERS (E.G., THE
OUTPUT FROM THE GDC 74A/B AIR DATA COMPUTER) OR OTHER ALTIMETERS IN THE
AIRCRAFT. ALWAYS REFER TO THE PRESSURE ALTIMETERS IN THE AIRCRAFT FOR
CURRENT PRESSURE ALTITUDE.
WARNING
NEVER USE EXPIRED DATABASES. UPDATE DATABASES REGULARLY TO ENSURE
CURRENCY. USE OUT OF DATE DATABASE INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.
WARNING
NEVER USE BASEMAP INFORMATION (LAND AND WATER DATA) AS THE SOLE MEANS
OF NAVIGATION. BASEMAP DATA IS INTENDED ONLY TO SUPPLEMENT OTHER
APPROVED NAVIGATION DATA SOURCES AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY AN AID
TO ENHANCE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.
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.
