LIMITATIONS
2.25 GARMIN G1000 AVIONIcS SySTEM LIMITATIONS (continued)
(h) Terrain and Obstacle Display
The G1000 terrain and obstacle information appears on the MFD display
as red and yellow tiles or towers, and is depicted for advisory information
only. Aircraft maneuvers and navigation must not be predicted upon the use
of the terrain display.
Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle database. It is
very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and
therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. Coverage of the
obstacle database includes the United States and Europe.
(i) Datalink Weather Display
XM weather data is provided by an optional GDL 69 interface. The weather
information display on the MFD is limited to supplemental use only and
may not be used in lieu of an official weather data source.
Do not use data-linked weather as the sole means
for negotiating a path through a thunderstorm area
(tactical maneuvering). Avoid any thunderstorm
identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo
by at least 20 miles. This is especially true under
the anvil of a large cumulonimbus.
(j) Traffic Display
Traffic shown on the display may or may not have traffic alerting available.
The display of traffic is an aid to visual acquisition and may not be utilized
for aircraft maneuvering.
(k) Synthetic Vision System (SVS)
Use of the Synthetic Vision system display elements alone for aircraft
control without reference to the G1000 primary flight instruments or the
aircraft standby instrument is prohibited.
Use of the Synthetic Vision system alone for navigation, or obstacle/terrain
avoidance is prohibited.
