WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for
primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other
approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to
enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Traffi c information shown on the G500H Multi-Function Display
is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffi c. Pilots must maneuver
the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition
of confl icting traffi c.
WARNING: Datalink weather radar should not be used for hazardous
weather penetration. Weather information provided by the datalink receiver
is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.
WARNING: Datalink weather radar data is to be used for long-range
planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and
the relative age of the data, datalink weather radar data should not be
used for short-range weather avoidance.
WARNING: For safety reasons, G500H operational procedures must be
learned on the ground.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the G500H Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice
basic operation prior to actual use. During fl ight operations, carefully
compare indications from the G500H 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: Never use the G500H to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm.
Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman’s
Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any
thunderstorm identifi ed as severe or giving an intense radar echo”.
WARNING: Exceeding 200 deg/second in pitch or roll may invalidate AHRS
attitude provided to the G500H.
