Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not use datalink weather products (e.g., XM WX Satellite
Weather, GFDS World Wide Weather, or FIS-B) for hazardous weather
penetration. Weather information provided by these products is aged by
up to several minutes and may not depict actual weather conditions as they
currently appear.
WARNING: Use of the Stormscope is not intended for hazardous weather
penetration (thunderstorm penetration). Stormscope information, as
displayed on the G1000H MFD, is to be used only for weather avoidance, not
penetration.
WARNING: The Garmin G1000H, as installed in the Bell 407GX rotorcraft, 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 G1000H. 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, G1000H 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 G1000H utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the G1000H can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the G1000H Pilot's Guide documentation and
the Bell 407GX Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM). Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the G1000H 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.
