WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
upon the use of the terrain function. The GTN 7XX Terrain and HTerrain
Proximity features are NOT intended to be used as a primary reference
for terrain avoidance and do not relieve the pilot from the responsibility
of being aware of surroundings during flight. Terrain Proximity is only
to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in
applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data
is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently
verify the accuracy of the terrain data.
WARNING: The GTN 7XX 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 GTN 7XX. 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: 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: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link
weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing
weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown
by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the
indicated weather product age.
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 GTN 7XX utilize GPS
as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with
all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GTN 7XX can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
CAUTION: The GTN 7XX does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.
Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and
the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi or Chartview functions as the basis for ground
maneuvering. SafeTaxi and Chartview functions have not been qualified
to be used as an airport moving map display (AMMD). SafeTaxi and
Chartview should only be used by the flight crew to orient themselves
on the airport surface.
NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin
database-dependent avionics of the following:
• It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory
and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases
in the National Airspace System.
• Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are
obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin
or Jeppesen are assured compliance with all data quality requirements
(DQRs) by virtue of a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from
the FAA. A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each database at
flyGarmin.com.
• Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment
is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but
does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures
that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to
operate in accordance with established AFM(S) and regulatory guidance
or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed
equipment.
NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies
related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the
form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and
fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication
in the air or on the ground. To report an aviation database error, visit
flyGarmin.com.
