Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Nav III
 WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function.
The G1000 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance
and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain
Proximity feature 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 displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied
upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical
charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by G1000 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could
vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74A Air Data Computer,
or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure
altitude displayed by the G1000 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.

WARNING: The Jeppesen database used in the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure
that its information remains current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is
included in the G1000 package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for navigation, but rather only for non-navi-
gational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.

WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G1000 Multi Function Display is provided as an aid in visually
acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition
of conflicting traffic.

WARNING: Use of the Stormscope interface for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm penetration)
is prohibited. Weather information on the G1000 MFD is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetra-
tion.

WARNING: Use of the GDL 69 Weather Interface for hazardous weather penetration is prohibited. Weather
information provided by the GDL 69 is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Nav III i
 WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES

WARNING: NEXRAD weather 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, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range
weather avoidance.

WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in Cessna Nav III aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integ-
rity. 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 G1000. 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: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

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 NAVi-
gation 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. 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: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the G1000 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 identified as severe or giving an intense
radar echo.”

CAUTION: The GDU 1040 PFD/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.

 WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, & NOTES

CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 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: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in addition to nearby thunderstorms
that can cause isolated discharge points in the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge
points in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points reappear after the screen has
been cleared.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel and
displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current G1000 system. Depictions of equipment
may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

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: The GDU 1040 PFD/MFD may require a warm-up time of up to 30 minutes when exposed to -40˚C for an
extended period. A warm-up time of up to 15 minutes may be required when exposed to -30˚C for an extended
period.

Each reception of primary active COM audio is auto-

matically recorded in a memory block. When the next
transmission is received, it is recorded in the next memory
block, and so on. Once the 2.5 minutes of recording time
has been reached, the recorder begins recording over the
stored memory blocks, starting from the oldest block.
Powering off the unit automatically clears all recorded
blocks.

Figure 5-8 Playback

• Pressing PLAY once plays back the latest recorded

memory block, then returns to normal operation.
• Pressing PLAY during playback of a memory block
halts the playback of this block and plays back the
preceding recorded block. The PLAY key can be
used to backtrack through the recorded memory
blocks to reach and play back any desired block.
Pressing the MKR/MUTE key during playback
halts playback and returns the recorder/playback
to normal operation.
If a COM input signal is detected during playback,
playback is halted and the new COM input signal is re-
corded as the latest block.
