Warnings, Cautions & Notes
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 and GFC 700 AFCS in Hawker Beechcraft
300 and B300 King Air Airplane Flight Manual Supplement. 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).
WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as
a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are
derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.
CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special
anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-
REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean,
lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-
reflective coatings.
