Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not rely solely up the indicators shown on the Panel Display
Pane to maneuver the aircraft.
WARNING: The altitude displayed by Garmin Pilot™ on the Panel Page is
geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from
the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude
displayed by the aircraft altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft
altitude.
WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in
the Garmin Pilot™ 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 Pilots using any outdated database do so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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the Garmin Pilot™ User 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
Garmin Pilot™ 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: Garmin Pilot™ has a very high degree of functional integrity.
However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test
capability for all conceivable failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may
be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown
by Garmin Pilot™. 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, Garmin Pilot™ 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 Garmin Pilot™ utilize GPS as a precision
electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID).
Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by Garmin Pilot™ can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, can become unsafe.
