Warnings, Cautions & Notes
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 G1000 utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the G1000 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 G1000 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the
G1000 Integrated Avionics System in the Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly
practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully
compare indications from the G1000 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: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned
on the ground.
WARNING: Do not use the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm.
The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding any thunderstorm identified as severe of giving
intense radar echo by at least 20 miles.
WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the
system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and
heading indications (GRS 77 installations only). North of 72° North latitude
at all longitudes. South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes. North of 65°
North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada).
North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern
Canada). North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E.
(Northern Russia). South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E
and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New Zealand).
