Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the
aera 795/796 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding "by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified
as severe or giving an intense radar echo."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the aera 795/796 Pilot's Guide documentation and
the Pilot's Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the aera 795/796 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.
WARNING: The Garmin aera 795/796 has a very high degree of functional
integrity. 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 aera 795/796. 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.
WARNING: For safety reasons, aera 795/796 operational procedures must
be learned on the ground.
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System and is solely responsible 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 aera 795/796 utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the aera 795/796 can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes
from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates
the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
