FAA APPROVED Page 22 of 51
The system is not capable of automatically setting the inbound VHF NAV course
pointer if an approach is not loaded in the GPS/SBAS Navigation System. Auto
slewing the VHF NAV course pointer to the correct selected course is a database
dependent function.
The pilot shall confirm the inbound course pointer is set to the proper course
prior to initiating any transition on any VHF NAV approach.
2.12 Synthetic Vision Technology
The use of the synthetic vision display elements alone for aircraft control without
reference to the G500/G600 primary flight instruments or the aircraft standby
instruments is prohibited.
The use of the synthetic vision display alone for navigation, or obstacle, terrain,
or traffic avoidance is prohibited.
2.13 Autopilot Interface
Flight director commands on PFD 2 are repeated from PFD 1. When utilizing
the flight director display on PFD 2, the pilot shall ensure that the CDI source
and BARO settings on PFD 2 match those on PFD 1.
For installations where the GAD 43 provides attitude information to the
autopilot, the GAD 43 autopilot disconnect mechanism shall be tested and
operational before each flight using the autopilot.
2.14 Terrain Proximity Function
The G500/G600 terrain configuration is indicated on the dedicated terrain page
of the MAP group. “TERRAIN PROXIMITY” will be displayed as the page
title if this function is configured. Terrain information appears on the map and
terrain display pages as red and amber and is depicted for advisory use only.
Obstacle and wire information appears on the map and terrain display pages as
red, amber, and white and is depicted for advisory use only. Aircraft maneuvers
and navigation must not be predicated upon the use of the terrain display.
Terrain, obstacle, and wire information is advisory only and is not equivalent to
warnings provided by TAWS.
The terrain display is intended to serve as a situational awareness tool only. By
itself, it may not provide either the accuracy or the fidelity on which to base
decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles.
